I has a rare fine catch of martens and minks, and one cross fox, three reds and seven whites, but I never catches a silver. 'Tis worth all the fox skins I gets three times over!" "And now we'll be havin' a wonderful lot o' things we needs," Mrs. Twig smiled happily. "Aye, that we will!" Skipper Zeb boomed heartily. "We can afford un now without stintin'. We'll have un!
A pen, such as is described on page 144, may be constructed, and the trap and bait arranged as there directed. Minks have their regular beaten paths, and often visit certain hollow logs in their runways. In these logs they leave unmistakable signs of their presence, and a trap set in such a place is sure of success.
For a more adequate description a well-worn phrase must be borrowed from the poems of Montmorency Minks a 'Day of Festival, for which 'coronal' invariably lay in waiting for rhyming purposes a little further down the sonnet. Monkey that afternoon managed to get home earlier than usual from Neuchatel, a somewhat suspicious explanation as her passport. Her eyes were popping.
She seems fond of telegraphing, rather. And he laughed as though he were speaking of an ordinary acquaintance. 'Charming little lady! The phrase was like the flick of a lash. Rogers had known it applied to such commonplace women. 'A most intelligent face, he heard Minks saying, 'quite beautiful, I thought the beauty of mind and soul.
There was, at any rate, this air of incompatibility of temperament between the features which, made all claim to good looks out of the question. That runaway chin, however, was again deceptive. It did, indeed run off, but the want of decision it gave to the countenance seemed contradicted by the prominent forehead and straight eyebrows, heavily marked. Minks knew his mind.
There was another enemy, who ought to have known better, following the old beech partridge all one early spring when snow was deep and food scarce. One day, in crossing the partridge's southern range, I met a small boy, a keen little fellow, with the instincts of a fox for hunting. He had always something interesting afoot, minks, or muskrats, or a skunk, or a big owl, so I hailed him with joy.
Rogers, he said, as though he had chosen a poor train for his honoured chief; 'there must be an excursion somewhere. There's a big fete of Vegetarians, I know, at Surbiton to-day, but I can hardly think these people 'Don't wait, Minks, said the other, who had taken his seat. 'I'll let you hear from me, you know, about the Scheme and other things.
'If I might give you this first, please, Mr. Rogers, he said, suddenly pretending to remember something in his breast-pocket and handing across the table, with a slight flush upon his cheeks, a long, narrow, mauve envelope with a flourishing address. 'It was a red- letter day for Mrs. Minks when I told her of your kindness.
The two little beasts doing antics in the pond are a pair of Russian minks and that reminds me: I must go and get them some herrings from the town before noon it is early-closing to-day. That animal just stepping out of his house is an antelope, one of the smaller South African kinds. Now let us move to the other side of those bushes there and I will show you some more."
Later he made a more thorough study of this 'thinking business. And soon afterwards, having put his chief's papers in order at the flat, he went home to Mrs. Minks and the children with this other thought that he had possibly been overworking himself, and that it was a good thing he was going to have a holiday by the sea.
