The "run," in one direction, will lead to water; but, in the other, it climbs the highest hills, to which the deer retires, for safety and repose, in impenetrable thickets. The hunters, in winter, find them congregated in "yards," where they can be surrounded and shot as easily as our troops shoot Comanche women and children in their winter villages.
These leaves are smeared with a species of bird-lime, made by bruising the berries of a tree by no means scarce. They are then strewed, with the gluten uppermost, near to the spot to which it is understood the tiger usually retires during noon-tide heat. If by chance the animal should tread on one of these smeared leaves his fate is certain.
At nighttime the maid enters your room, seals the windows, pulls down the shades, locks the shutters, closes the curtains, draws the draperies and then, I think, calks all the cracks with oakum. When the occupant of that chamber retires to rest he is as hermetic as old Rameses the First, safe in his tomb, ever dared to hope to be.
As we come suddenly upon him, how indignant he seems at being disturbed in his hunting. Like the Indian, he is jealous of his ancient domain and resents intrusion. He retires, however, throwing back to us a cry of disdain. Here in the marsh is the last stand of primitive nature in the settled country; here is the last stronghold of the untamed.
The observation leads into mysteries from which the physiological Muse recoils. She has been quite willing to enter the nuptial chambers while they are occupied, but she is a virgin and a prude, and there are occasions on which she retires.

"Ah! teach us to hope once more," cried the musician. "That in itself is half the victory; still, I cannot see how this delay..." "It would give us time, and that is what we want," replied Olympius.
So long as a valiant fellow is seen to be steadily making his way upwards inch by inch, he may be applauded; but let him display the slightest hint of having "shot his bolt," and begin to slip back again, howls of derision will greet his ears, so that in confusion he finally gives it up, and retires in haste.
Franz Liszt thrown on his own Resources. The Artistic Circle in Paris. Liszt in the Banks of Romanticism. His Friends and Associates. Mme. D'Agoult and her Connection with Franz Liszt.

As they fall, a swaying motion in the crowd is felt the authorities have arrived the worn-out combatants draw off, sullenly, and the dead and wounded only are left upon the field. The crowd retires they have had their fight, and broken numerous heads. They have vindicated the honor of their Saints to-morrow they are friends and neighbors again.
If she arrives when he happens to be at home, he calls for "missus," and retires sheepishly to the 'Blue Boar. The energetic Dorcas who fixes him in a corner gets little for her pains. He "supposes" that "missus" knows where and when the children go to school, and that "missus" may some day or other be induced to go to church.
