A hawk-faced old man with a long white beard and long white hair rode out from the cottonwoods. He had on a battered broad hat abnormally high of crown, carried across his saddle a heavy "eight square" rifle, and was followed by a half-dozen lolloping hounds.
"Never you trouble yourself about my cheer!" said the old lady with some severity. "Sit down in one yourself there are plenty of lolloping ones if your back's weak and tell me what mischief you have been up to lately. I wouldn't trust you round the corner." "You'll break my heart some day," said Geoffrey, with a heavy sigh; "and then you will be sorry, Mrs. Tree. Mischief? Let me see!
That was the time to get hold of him; to train him not to run a hare that might come lolloping stupidly along, down wind, into the very jaws of danger; to take no notice of a rabbit that offered insult by drumming with his hind legs on the ground only a few yards off; to tell him strange stories of what he might expect in the years to come when he grew as old as his master, and had learnt to try to take many knocks, to face many problems, to bear and suffer much that might come from strange quarters had learnt also how to live, and to reap his share of the happiness that the mere fact of living rarely fails to give to all who are not weak-kneed or chicken-hearted.
Although the wind was not upon the shore, and no long rollers were setting in, short, uncomfortable, clumsy waves were lolloping under the steep gray cliffs, and casting up splashes of white here and there.
"Father always says," she exclaimed, "that " But what he always said I never heard, for at that instant a piercing "Tally-ho!" rent the air, and, looking up, we saw a long, yellow, lean-bodied fox which apparently had jumped up within a hundred yards of the pack, lolloping unconcernedly towards a hedge near by.
"There's a fig-tree for you!" he cried, pointing to a great spreading mass of five-fingered leaves lolloping over a pink plastered garden-wall an old untidy tree that had swallowed up the whole extent of a cottager's garden. "You don't see anything like that in the Forest." "No," answered Vixen, tightening her lips; "we have only oaks and beeches that have been growing since the Heptarchy."
Then I sees you and the 'untsman lolloping along arter the dogs, and soon arter I 'urd the trumpets goin'; and so says I, 'It's a case, and I qeums up and skins un. 'E did skin beautiful to be sure! I never see a better job in all my life never!" "'Twas a fine hart," replied Shakespeare, "and no dull and muddy-mettled rascal!"
Usually, he wore his cocked-hat on the back of his head, thereby lending himself a lolloping, negligent, and, at the same time, defying air; but I observed that, as we all uncovered, he brought his own beaver up over his eye-brows, in a species of military bravado.
He had hardly torn off one glove, and rolled as far as the third flower from the door on his lordship's carpet, before he shouted: "This is my patient, lolloping in pursuit of health. Your hand," added he. For he was at the sofa long before his lordship could glide off it. "Tongue. Pulse is good. Breathe in my face." "Breathe in your face, sir! how can I do that?"
At the eighth and the ninth hurdles he rose gloriously and alone; Booty dropped with a dull thud a yard behind him. Putney and Wimbledon were nowhere. Nobody looked at them as they went lolloping, unevenly, dejectedly, over their seventh hurdle. And now Booty was catching up, but the race was Ransome's. He knew it. Booty knew it. The field knew it. Ranny's mother knew it.
