"Ye onprincipled black Saxon thief," growled The O'Shannon; "how dare ye take my biscuit?" "You miserable Irish cur," growled Smith; "how was I to know it was your biscuit? Does everything on the floor belong to you? Perhaps you think I belong to you, I'm on the floor. I don't believe it is your biscuit, you long-eared, snubbed-nosed bog-trotter; give it me back."
Uneasy in their minds at the wild restlessness and seemingly dare-devil and inconsiderate pranks of their long-eared and unspeakable charges, the officers are naturally anxious to avail themselves of any stray grains of enlightenment concerning their management they might perchance drop on to by appealing to persons they come in contact with.
Give me the history of one of your freighting trips and what befell along the trail; and don't forget the comment thereon wise, doubtless, it was of your long-eared servants of the rein and trace-chain." "Tell you what chances along the trail? Son, you-all opens a wide-flung range for my mem'ry to graze over.
In a week all had learned it, and were ready for the great opening meet of the Coursing Club. The Little Warhorse was now well known to the grooms and hangers-on; his colors usually marked him clearly, and his leadership was in a measure recognized by the long-eared herd that fled with him.

Long-haired, rough-haired, long-eared, short-eared, brush-tailed, smooth-tailed, long-legged, short-legged, black-eyed, black-nosed; white, brown, black, tan, sandy, mixed; every degree of pure or mongrel blood; terriers of all kinds swarm around us, playing all sorts of antics, evincing all kinds of impertinences, catching all sorts of vermin, and presenting themselves to us in every shape of beauty or ugliness, of which their race is capable.

Among those busy bringing the water in firemen's buckets and other utensils, was the miller of Erbisdorf, who had harnessed a team of his donkeys into a large sledge, loaded with steaming hot water. 'Slow and steady wins the race, was his greeting to Roller, as he pointed to his long-eared friends.
Oh, Dryasdust, does any long-eared mortal who is being skinned by a true King a Canning, Königlich, Able Man does the long-eared one amid his wriggles ever recognize the scope and transcendent significance of Kingship? Answer me that, Dryasdust, or shut your eloquent mouth and go home to dinner." That is quite a proper style for a disciplinarian, but I have not got into the way of using it yet.
Alas, if a man sow only chaff, in never so sublime a manner, with the whole Earth and the long-eared populations looking on, and chorally singing approval, rendering night hideous, it will avail him nothing. And that, to a lamentable extent, was Belleisle's case.
