Suddenly, a movement on the part of one of them attracted the attention of the fox-terrier, and he flew out into the scrub, barking furiously. The pack, in crescent formation, retreated perhaps a dozen paces, saliva trickling from their curling lips. The terrier plunged valiantly forward, hopping the first low bushes, as a terrier will when rabbiting or ratting.
The officers, saving your presence, are the ferrits who turn us out of our holes on duty; and the niggers yonder, with their muskets and their matchlocks, are the men with sticks, ready to knock us on head, directly we show ourselves. If it plase Heaven that I ever return to the ould country again, I'll niver lend a hand at rabbiting, to my dying day."
Skelmersdale decided that he wouldn't. "Rats about?" asked Cossar. "One was up in the pines this morning rabbiting, we reckon." Cossar slouched on to overtake his party. Bensington, regarding the Experimental Farm under his hand, was able to gauge now the vigour of the Food.
The world had slipped its sanity a bit, as dogs now and again at full moon slipped theirs and went off for a night's rabbiting; but the world, like the dog, knew where its bread was buttered and its bed warm, and would come back sure enough to the only home worth having to private ownership. The world was in its second childhood for the moment, like old Timothy eating its titbit first!
There was but one gate by Cherbourg's design, and that a small one for so great a place, and yet, what need of greater? The larger hole surely that a rat's home hath the easier to find the rat, and rabbiting were easier were the burrow a yard in circuit.
My father would rather have cut off his right hand than have allowed you to begin an acquaintance which has been ruinous to almost all the young men who have been in that set. 'But we are not young men, cried Lance, 'it is only for the holidays; and we only want a little fun with poor Harry, he is so lonely and just to go out rabbiting and skating.
When ferrets are conveyed about for the purpose of rabbiting, boxes are much better to use than bags, as the ferrets then get a better chance of resting. If bags be used you disturb the ferrets' rest and position each time you remove one. Take care to observe this and it will result in a good day's sport. Always take your ferrets home as quickly as possible after a day's work.
'What are the dogs about? asked Marjorie, coming out of the cottage with a plate of smoking fish. 'Rabbiting, I bet, said Reggie, and began shouting, 'Laddie! Carlo! In a few minutes there was a scamper, and Laddie's head appeared above a ridge, waiting with pricked-up ears to know what was required of him. 'Dinner, Lad! said Reggie.
'They're a nest of rats, I know, and we might be there a whole afternoon without any one finding out, or we might use them for rabbiting sometimes. Bob's face grew rather serious. 'That's not as good fun, he said quickly. To tell the truth he had a very soft corner in his heart for the poor little bunnies, with their turned-up, tufty white tails, scampering about in their innocent happiness.
O'Donnell, you may, perhaps, like to hear the account of my ghostly experiences in that neighbourhood." Of course I replied that nothing would give me greater pleasure, and Mr. Porter forthwith began his story. "One misty night in October, my friend Alec and I, both being keen on rabbiting, determined to visit a spinney adjoining the Cortachy estate, in pursuit of our quarry.
