Her neck was stretched out straight, her eyes towards the sky; which gave to her the appearance of a long-eared alligator. I have never had much to do with cows. I don't know how you talk to them.
Said Henry Clay, 'There, Sir, Adams, is a company of your constituents as they come from the North. 'All right; they are going South to teach yours, was the quick reply. And I think one of those long-eared animals has strayed down your way, and your ma might have sent you to his school I think, however, but a few weeks, or your epistolary correspondence with Mrs.
A Prairie Episode. The fierce rays of the sun, which had turned the prairie grass into a lifeless-looking dusty brown, continued to pour pitilessly down on the horde of perspiring workmen, exhausted Indian ponies, and long-eared morose mules. At intervals, gusts of hot parching winds bent the rank grass, which gave forth a dry, almost rasping sound, very different from its usual musical rustle.
What the Eternal Laws will sanction for thee, do; what the Froth Gospels and multitudinous long-eared Hearsays never so loudly bid, all this is already chaff for thee, drifting rapidly along, thou knowest whitherward, on the eternal winds."
"It is unpleasant to be suspected of a crime, and revolting to the instincts of a gentleman," added Laud. "Do you mean to say that I am suspected of a crime, you long-eared puppy?" yelled the captain. "I beg your pardon, Captain Shivernock, but it isn't agreeable to a gentleman to be called by such opprobrious names," said Laud, rising from his chair, and taking his round-top hat from the table.
As soon, however, as the islands had got well stocked with robins, black-caps, wrens, and wagtails, of European types as soon as the chaffinches had established themselves on the seaward plains, and the canary had learnt to nest without fear among the Portugal laurels then buzzards, long-eared owls, and common barn-owls, driven westward by tempests, began to pick up a decent living on all the islands, and have ever since been permanent residents, to the immense terror and discomfort of our smaller song-birds.
"No, no! Thanks to you," answered the traveller. "I am strong and hearty. I would not put that on your shoulders which I feel burdensome to my own." "Then let us put it on the back of one of the asses," said the woodcutter; "it will make but little difference to our long-eared friend." "A merciful man is merciful to his beast," said the traveller.
Leander and Joe came together, the first bringing his accordion, and four rabbits in a cage, and the last carrying five striped squirrels in a paste-board box. Leander was the only one who had been thoughtful enough to have his animals ready for exhibition, and the cage in which the long-eared pets were confined bore the inscription, done in a very fanciful way with blue and red crayons, "Wolves.
The professor, with rather a red face, had gone back to his work of collecting specimens, which the arrival of the long-eared beast had interrupted in such a startling manner. "Thar, I hope that's taught you some sense," said old man McGee, as the donkey was once more on terra firma. As he rode off, Dick burst into shouts of laughter.
Later, when the moon peeped out of a hole in the clouds, and the bank-vole peeped out of one in the bank, together and his beady eyes were not much behind the moon for brightness when the tiny, long-eared bats were imitating black lightning overhead, and a single owl was hooting like a lost soul seeking a home, away in the black heart of the woods, the bank-vole witnessed the burial of that hated viper.
