"I have heard of minks," said Paul, taking the old man by the arm, and gently urging him towards the thicket as he spoke; while, at the same time, he cast quick and uneasy glances behind him, in order to make sure he was not observed. "Of your common black minks; but none of any other colour." "Lord!
Look up what others have done in the same line, for instance, and tell me where they failed. What the weakness of their schemes was, you know and er so forth. A faint smile, that held the merest ghost of merriment, passed across the face of Minks, leaping, unobserved by his chief, from one eye to the other. There was pity and admiration in it; a hint of pathos visited those wayward lips.
She is about eighteen inches long, with a bushy tail about another eight inches, her blackish-brown body about as big round as a big man's wrist, and she has a "business-looking" face and jaw. Did you ever try to take the young minks from their nest in the latter part of April and did Mrs. Mink fight?
In the Den that evening there was one world within another, though only these two, and probably the intuitive and diabolically observant Minks, perceived it. The deep furnaces of this man's inner being, banked now so long that mere little flames had forgotten their way out, lay open at last to that mighty draught before whose fusing power the molten, fluid state becomes inevitable.
Fish would be required for the otters, minks, pelicans, of which there are eight species, and must therefore have been fifty-six individuals in the ark; one hundred and five gulls, for there are fifteen species; one hundred and twelve cormorants, forty-nine gannets, one hundred and forty terns, two hundred and eighty-seven kingfishers, beside storks, herons, spoonbills, penguins, albatrosses, and a host of others; mollusks for the oyster-catcher, turnstone, and other birds.
There was still mystery, for subconscious investigation ever involves this background of shadow. Question and Wonder watched him. But the facts emerged. He jotted them down on paper as best he could. The result looked like a Report drawn up by Minks, only less concise and he was bound to admit it less intelligible. He smiled as he read them over....
Minks glanced up to make sure there was no levity in the question, but only desire for knowledge. 'Objects too, he replied, apparently satisfied, 'for science tells us that the movement of a body here affects the farthest star. A continuous medium ether transmits the vibrations without friction and thought-force is doubtless similarly transmitted er
Something white and sparkling danced madly through his brain. What must she think of him? 'We've just time to wash ourselves and hurry over to supper, his cousin said, as he overtook them, flustered and very breathless. Minks looked at him regarded him, rather astonishment, almost disapproval, in one eye, and in the other, apparently observing the vineyards, a mild rebuke.
He was taught the signs by which to know all his foes and then the way to baffle them. For hawks, owls, foxes, hounds, curs, minks, weasels, cats, skunks, coons, and men, each have a different plan of pursuit, and for each and all of these evils he was taught a remedy. And for knowledge of the enemy's approach he learnt to depend first on himself and his mother, and then on the bluejay.
And because a mink jumped at him once, and tore open his nose, he destroyed a number of minks so utterly that their pelts were spoiled. He found himself another windfall, but instinct taught him now never to go to it directly, but to approach it, and leave it, in a roundabout way. Day and night Le Beau, the man-brute, plotted against him. He set many poison-baits.
