Sim was seated on a box, the lantern at his feet casting a pale flicker over his riven face and the horse muzzling the trough. Gordon sat down upon the broken chair. "She's dead," he said, after a minute. Simeon Caley made no immediate reply, and he repeated in exactly the same manner: "She's dead." A sudden bitterness of contempt flamed in the other's ineffable blue eyes.
This has often occurred with me. This, I can assure my readers, is what I call "roughing it." Of course, what I have just related occurred a few years ago, but when the Muzzling Order came into force, the authorities practically stopped Rat coursing, for they would not let a dog run at a Rat unless the dog was muzzled.
The bailies had proclaimed a general muzzling, and his master, studying strength and economy mainly, had encompassed his huge jaws in a home-made apparatus, constructed out of the leather of some ancient breechin.
The dogs yawned prodigiously, stretching their jaws after the severe muzzling. Sam began reflectively to undo the flaps of the sledge. "Guess we'd better camp here," said he. "It's getting pretty late and we're due for one hell of a tramp to-morrow." Some time during the night May-may-gwán rejoined them.

She was traveling swift and straight, like an arrow, and he had difficulty in keeping up with her, and at last he cried out for her to wait that he could go no farther. The cry roused him. He opened his eyes, and found cool, gray dawn in the sky. Peter, alert, was muzzling his hand. Slim Buck lay in the sand, still asleep. There was no stir in the camp.
I was an eyewitness of one of the most drastic muzzling episodes which has occurred in the Reichstag during the war or probably in the history of any modern Parliament the suppression of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, member for Potsdam, during the debate on military affairs on January 17, 1916.
They had reached the station and the east-bound train was whistling for Gaston. Kent's patience was nearly gone, and the auburn-hued temperament was clamoring hotly for its innings. "This vacation of yours, Judge MacFarlane: how long is it likely to last?" he inquired, muzzling his wrath yet another moment.
At length, however, this muzzling order was repealed; and the first Briton to speak his mind in print was an Irishman, John Carey. For some time this man, after first reviving a dying cause at Cootehill, in Co.
He was talking about the recent muzzling order, and added, in quick little tones, "They are talking about muzzling cats, I see." "But cats do not bite," I objected. "No," in mild surprise at my ignorance; "but they scratch." "And do they intend to muzzle their paws?"
