Striped Chipmunk mentioned his reddish-brown coat. There is another cousin with a coat so red that he is called the Red-backed Mouse. He is about the size of Danny Meadow Mouse but has larger ears and a longer tail. "This little fellow is a lover of the Green Forest, and he is quite as active by day as by night.
Very soon it was known all along the river that the Indian's leg was broken, and I had set and healed it in three days. In a year or two, I doubt not, it will be his neck that was broken, not once, but in several places. Grand Island yielded a great many Deermice of the arctic form, a few Red-backed Voles, and any number of small birds migrant.
See how graciously the ladies receive him, as, having ascended the stairs, he appears among them. 'A man is never too old to marry' is their maxim. The cry is still, 'They come! they come! See at a hand-gallop, with his bay pony in a white lather, rides Pacey, grinning from ear to ear, with his red-backed betting-book peeping out of the breast pocket of his brown cutaway.
Splashes and gurgles, sighs and gasps, coughs and sneezes, sharp clicks and snaps and snarls telling of alarms, tragic escapes, and violent death-dealings blend with the continuous murmur of the sea, and are occasionally punctuated by sudden slaps and thuds as a blundering, hammer-head shark pursues a high-leaping eagle-ray, or the red-backed sea eagle dashes down upon a preoccupied bream, the impact of its firm breast embossing a white rosette on the blue water.
He merely smiled in an apologetic manner, and he made a little gesture with his right hand, as if to admit that he was helpless, and that he cast himself upon the good will of Riley Sinclair. Riley jerked his head to one side and scowled. He hated that appeal. He wanted this hanging to be the work of seven men, not of one. Montana returned, bringing with him a yellow-covered, red-backed book.
'May I send a letter? asked Cyril, pulling out a red-backed penny account-book, and feeling in his pockets for a stump of pencil that he knew was in one of them. 'By all means. I'll call my scribe. 'Oh, I can scribe right enough, thanks, said Cyril, finding the pencil and licking its point. He even had to bite the wood a little, for it was very blunt.
In that case she would munch a piece of chocolate or some fruit from the sideboard. She was very careful not to let Arnaud know. These were her escapades. She would have one of her favorite books by her side: as a rule one of those humble, red-backed volumes, a translation of an English novel.
In this way the males of all the Warblers that breed commonly in Great Britain establish themselves, each one in its respective station at the respective breeding ground; so, too, do those of many other migrants for example, the Whinchat, Wheatear, Tree-Pipit, and Red-backed Shrike.
On the other hand, should a scaly ant-eater enter a room it is a joyful event, indicating that the owner will become rich. The animal is caught, blood from a fowl is smeared over him, and he is carried back to the utan. If it should so happen that a red-backed lizard, a timid animal rather common about kampongs, enters a house it also brings good luck.
