The first of these to be published was 'A Sable Spartan', 'An Amiable Revenge', 'A Vulgar Fraction', and 'How Pango Wango Was Annexed'. They were written before the Pierre series, and were instantly accepted by Mr.
In order to cure the old woman of this weakness, he dressed himself as well as he could to represent the sable form of his satanic majesty. Alas! instead of being surprised, the old lady was too far-gone for that, and listened with tipsy gravity to the distinguished visitor’s discourse. In her case it was true, as Burns wrote: ‘Wi’ tipenny we fear nae evil; Wi’ usquebae we’ll face the deevil.’
A table and two chairs stood at one end of the cave, and, strangest of all, a small but well-filled book-case ornamented the other end. "Arabian Nights!" thought Nigel. "I must be dreaming." His wandering eyes travelled slowly round the cavern until they rested at last on the door by which they had entered, beside which stood the negro with a broad grin on his sable visage.
"But oh, I'm so afraid the judge may think it is! You see, he doesn't know Laddie as we do." She stopped before a bench whereon lay a pale golden sable collie; almost corn-colored; who boasted a wealth and magnificence of coat that made the Master open his eyes wide. The dog was smaller and slighter of frame than was Lad. Nor, in head and expression, was he Lad's equal.
They have hard work to break 'em in, for they are smart ones, that's a fact, but, like the hosses of Sable Island, they have always an eye to natur' arterwards; the change is too sudden, you can't trust 'em, at least I never see one as I could, that's all. "Well, when they come out o' meetin', look at the dignity and sanctity, and pride o' humility o' the tame old ones. Read their faces.
She was lovelier than I had ever seen her, with her gold-bronze hair shining over the sable collar of Dudley's coat. I fancied her eyes shone, too, for one second, at seeing me. But there I was wrong. "I thought you'd started for Caraquet," she exclaimed hastily. "You needn't come with us. There won't be any wolves in the daytime, and you know there's no need for you to come!" There was not.
Warren, we do not know the history of our own city, after all. But surely they did not take it?" "No, it is safely anchored to a bit of mainland yet," said Uncle Win dryly. "Off Cape Sable they encountered a violent storm. The Duc succeeded in reaching the rendezvous, but in such a damaged condition that he felt a victory would be impossible.
Also the Tching-hoa-yao, pictured with the amber bloom of grapes and the verdure of vine-leaves and the blossoming of poppies, or decorated in relief with figures of fighting crickets; Also the Khang-hi-nien-ts'ang-yao, celestial azure sown with star-dust of gold; and the Khien-long-nien-thang-yao, splendid in sable and silver as a fervid night that is flashed with lightnings.
The slaves, each wearing black loin-cloths with bunches of sable ostrich feathers on their heads that waved like funeral-plumes as they walked, brought in grim-looking instruments of iron like blacksmiths' tools, strange spiked chains, fetters with sharp spikes on the inside, and many curiously-contrived irons, each devised to cause some horrible torture, each red with rust, the rust of blood.
There, too, are outlined the wings of birds large birds with sable plumage and red naked necks, whose species both know well. They are zopilotes the vultures of Mexico. A score of such shadows are flitting over the sage a score of the birds are wheeling in the air above. It is a sight to pain the traveller, even when seen at a distance. Over his own head it may well inspire him with fear.
