Dublin giving her best to them, and they with deaf ears to her music and blind eyes to her sons." "But, you see, Mrs. Hennessey, the Pinckneys are my relations." "Irish?" cried the good woman, absolutely unconscious of everything but the vision before her. "Those that can't see their own land aren't Irish. Mongrels is the name for them, without pride of heart or light of understanding."

There is no native wild dog in Ceylon, but every village and town is haunted by mongrels of European descent, that are known by the generic description of Pariahs. They are a miserable race, lean, wretched, and mangy, acknowledged by no owners, living on the garbage of the streets and sewers, and if spoken to unexpectedly they shrink with an almost involuntary cry.

The men of those days were one and all what we are ourselves nature's mongrels, now broken up into varieties by casual isolation, and now by no less casual intermixture recompounded in a host of relatively unstable forms. Whatever progress, therefore, may have occurred in this respect has been unconscious.

About the place itself there was little of interest; it was a one-horse show with a few Arabs, Bedouins and Sudanese, many flea-bitten mongrels and clouds of flies. But this island-studded expanse of water was the great Assuan Dam.

Breed had spoken truthfully when he said that his dogs were scrubs. There were four of them, two mongrels, one blind huskie, and a mamelute that ran lame. And besides this handicap, Philip found that his own endurance was fast reaching the ebbing point.

These two distinct cases of reversion are often confounded together by those who have written on inheritance. Lastly, the hybrids or mongrels from between all the breeds of the pigeon are perfectly fertile, as I can state from my own observations, purposely made, on the most distinct breeds.

I should have kept her that time I found her on the little farm in Connecticut. If I had been a little more insistent then, I think she would have come with me. But I was afraid of her money. It was rumored that her aunt left her a vast fortune, and you know the mongrels that hound a girl in that position, Covington? I was afraid she might think I was one of the pack.

"So it seemed to me too; but still this people " "Canst thou expect mongrels to appreciate poetry?" "But thou too hast noticed that they have not thanked me as I deserve." "Because thou hast chosen a bad moment." "How?" "When men's brains are filled with the odor of blood, they cannot listen attentively." "Ah, those Christians!" replied Nero, clenching his fists.
