"White Leghorns," said Jane Coop, who was beginning to get interested in this subject so near her heart. "Yes. Well, supposing you found that one, when it had all its feathers, had some speckled ones under its wings " "But it couldn't, dearie, if it was pure-bred!" "Yes, but just supposing it had, what would be the meaning of it?" Jane Coop hesitated, and re-tied her apron-strings.
But, torn, blinded, baffled, the Dane was undefeated. He wrenched his jaws out of their mufflings and rolled his head from side to side, snapping right and left. "Oh Billy," cried Isabel, "you know me, lie down, dear old man!" A pure-bred dog when sight and hearing are gone will recognize a familiar scent. In an agony of pity Isabel flung her arm over the heaving shoulders "Don't!"
He knows that the maxim in London, Yokohama, and Hongkong in doing business with the pure-bred American is to keep him waiting, for the reason that forced inaction frets the man to a lather, as standing in harness frets a half-broken horse.
Let the progeny of these be bred to another pure-bred male of the same breed, but as distantly related to the first as may be.
There are pure-bred Arab nomads of the desert; there are Arabs who have settled in towns or on the land, some within the last generation, like the Muntefik in Mesopotamia, some a millennium or two ago, like the Meccan Koreish, but who still retain their tribal consciousness of race; there are Arabs in name who have nothing Arabic about them but their language most of the peasantry of Syria are such, and the inhabitants of ancient centres of population like Damascus or Bagdad; in Syria many of these "Arabs" are Christians, and some Christians, though they speak Arabic, have retained their separate sense of nationality notably the Roman Catholic Maronites of the Lebanon and would hardly be considered as Arabs either by themselves or by their neighbours.
The first pure-bred, hot-blood stallions turned on the Kiowa range carried the Quarter Circle KT brand on their left shoulders. He wanted quality in his stock and spent thousands of dollars importing bulls and stallions to get it. When the automobile came it was the same. No jit for the erratic owner of the last big genuine cow-ranch on the Cimarron.
In the Turco-Egyptian nature there is, nevertheless, not seldom something that is more nearly akin to the typical Englishman's nature than could be found in the pure-bred Egyptian. And possibly because he sometimes sees in the Englishman what but for certain Oriental characteristics that hold him back he might almost become himself, the Turco-Egyptian often nourishes a peculiar venom against him.
In the southern States the planters living in the wilder regions have always been in the habit of following the black bear with horse and hound, many of them keeping regular packs of bear hounds. Such a pack includes not only pure-bred hounds, but also cross-bred animals, and some sharp, agile, hard-biting fierce dogs and terriers.
"Edwin?" said Ukridge. "Oh, beast of a cat." "Oh, Stanley!" said Mrs. Ukridge plaintively. "He's not. He's such a dear, Mr. Garnet. A beautiful, pure-bred Persian. He has taken prizes." "He's always taking something. That's why he didn't come down with us." "A great, horrid, beast of a dog bit him, Mr. Garnet. And poor Edwin had to go to a cats' hospital."
"Thirty-five," said a wizened little man with a hectic cough, who looked fitter for a burial than a bridal. "Forty!" cried another, a pure-bred Arab of stately appearance and saturnine expression, who wished to add to his harem. "Forty-five," answered the wizened man. Then the Arab bid fifty, and for a while it seemed that these two alone were competitors.
