The blue-gray bandy legged dog ran merrily along the side of the road, sometimes in proof of its agility and self-satisfaction lifting one hind leg and hopping along on three, and then again going on all four and rushing to bark at the crows that sat on the carrion. The dog was merrier and sleeker than it had been in Moscow.
"Creep through there," said the witch, "and see what is happening!" The child obeyed: Hekt turned her attention again to the bird, which no longer perched in her lap, but lay on one side, though it still tried to use its talons, when she took him up in her hand. "It is all over with him," muttered the old woman, "and the one I called Rameses is sleeker than ever.
Then let my father ask for the colt, that has never been ridden, but which is sleeker than the buck, and swifter than the elk." "I understand you, boy, I understand you," interrupted the attentive old man; "and what you say shall be done, ay, and well done too, or I'm but little skilled in the wishes of a dying Indian."
We had an early dinner, and our cavalcade started from Laura's. I rode my small bay horse Folly, a gift from my absentee brother. His coat was sleeker than satin; his ears moved perpetually, and his wide nostrils were always in a quiver.
Habundia smiled on her and said: So it is that now thou lookest older than I. Rounder and fuller is thy body, and thy limbs greater and fairer, and thy flesh sleeker; lovelier art thou in all wise, and such as I have thought of thee during these years, save that thy face is grown wiser and sadder than might be looked for.
But to add to his grief, this mysteriousness, this supernatural, weird power gave the woman beside him a peculiar, incomprehensible charm of which he had not been conscious before. The fact that in his stupidity he unconsciously threw a poetic glamour over her made her seem, as it were, whiter, sleeker, more unapproachable. "Witch!" he muttered indignantly. "Tfoo, horrid creature!"
It was a twin, but larger, blacker, sleeker, a million times more amiable, and very much fatter. Ah! ha, ha! hurrah! happy thought! Why not? I would. And, thereupon, I instantly did it. Placing the basket gently on the ground, I opened the lid and put in the cold chicken, when lo! in jumped the amiable twin.
"Monsieur, there are very many men who would like to-night to be invalids with a sleeping compartment to themselves," returned the attendant severely. "Well, I don't want to talk about it any more," said Hillyard roughly, and he shouldered his way out again on to the platform. The attendant followed him. The smile upon his face was sleeker than ever.
As a purely physical aggregate if our civilisation be that our business is quickly to exterminate Monte and his whole breed. He embarrasses us, as sleeker individuals of the herd and hive. He is tolerated to the diseases with which he infects us, because we have weakened our resistance with cleanliness.
The Indians of this great fishing mart are represented by the earliest explorers as sleeker and fatter, but less hardy and active, than the tribes of the mountains and prairies, who live by hunting, or of the upper parts of the river, where fish is scanty, and the inhabitants must eke out their subsistence by digging roots or chasing the deer.
