There was old Rook and Jennings, and another whom I'll be d d before I name, that knew what fighting was.
I hope that cruel old Mentor is not coming to tumble us down over a great rook, like Telemaque in the picture. 'You mean Pere le Brun? 'Yes; you know he always says he is our Mentor. And I wish he would change into a goddess with a helmet and a shield, with an ugly face, and go off in a cloud. Do you think he will, Estelle? 'Do not be so silly, Ulick; there are no goddesses now.
It was all very well to ease his own mind by complaining, but when he heard of Ida announcing that he had been shamefully treated, all out of spite for killing a white rook, his sense of justice made him declare that the notion was nothing but girl's folly, such as no person with a grain of sense could believe.
"We'll try again," they said, in quiet but determined voices. "Let the youngsters go," said Coomber, as two or three married men pressed forward; "them as has got wives ain't no call to go on such a trip as this. There'll be enough of us; there's me and Bob, and Rook and White came with us a purpose, and " "But how about your wife, Coomber?" interrupted one of the men.
He wore his collar and orders, his blue ribbon and garter. When Becky beheld that familiar and illustrious face, how vulgar all of a sudden did Major Loder appear to her, and how that odious Captain Rook did smell of tobacco! In one instant she reassumed her fine-ladyship and tried to look and feel as if she were in May Fair once more.
"Here I found the holes averaging some thirty feet which was a style of hard work I didn't quite admire; so hearing of the greater facility of the Alexander diggings, I went through Bully Rook Forest, and tried my luck in the Jim Crow Ranges. This paid well; and I bought a dray, and bring up goods to the stores, which I find easier work, and twice as profitable as digging.
Madame, there is another vow of chastity changed into an amorous desire," said one of her women; and the chuckles commenced again thick as hail. Philippe went his way, bumping his head against a wall like a hooded rook as he was. So giddy had he become at the sight of this creature, even more enticing than a siren rising from the water.
"Yes indeed," said the Rook solemnly "'the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed time, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming." This conversation, and all his other talks and small adventures, were faithfully reported to the home-tied wife. His voice beguiled the many weary hours during which she patiently sat on her nest.
I never saw this procedure among rooks, but once watched something very similar among the famous dogs of Constantinople, which no longer exist. The most important problem however in connection with the rook is the precise extent to which the bird is the farmer's enemy or his friend.
For, if I may be permitted to say so, it appears to me that the facts are exactly opposite to what Ki Ki and the rook have put forward as the reason for battle. My experience convinces me that the very vastness of Choo Hoo's host is really its weakness. The larger his numbers the less he can effect.
