The lynx thought that daylight would see the end of his imprisonment, but though a few of the pack slunk away, enough remained on guard to make a descent from the tree extremely hazardous. Soon after sunrise, however, easier game was sighted and those beneath the tree at once joined the chase, leaving the lynx free to stretch his cramped muscles and descend from his perch.
This was no time for ceremony; he got a prompt cuff over the head and slunk away shivering and shaking his ears. And then the distribution began. Now, your cat, at the best of times, is squeamish about his food; he stands no tricks. He is a slow eater, though he can secure his dinner with the best of us. A vicious snatch, like a snake, and he has it.
The metamorphosed horse-dealer was silenced of course, and slunk to the rear, where he consoled himself by entering into a vehement dispute upon the price of hay with a farmer, who had reluctantly followed his laird to the field, rather than give up his farm, whereof the lease had just expired.
With what books they had managed to grab some the right ones, many the wrong the boarders slunk red-faced to their places, there to realize their luck, and perchance to discover their mistakes. Cadbury had no book at all.
Miller took off his spectacles and wiped them with his handkerchief. "I guess you know what to expect now. You've had your warning and you'd better take it." He took up his cue and went back into the billiard-room. There was so much noise there that no one knew what had happened. Lawson picked himself up. He put his hand to his ear, which was singing still. Then he slunk out of the club.
Had they seen a sign of flinching they might have risked the issue, but there was none. With muttered curses, they slunk away. Sinclair shut and bolted the door, then opened the one leading to the bedroom. "Foster," he said, "the train will pass here in half an hour. Have you money enough?" "Plenty, Major." "Very well; keep perfectly quiet and I will try to get you safely off."
The gray light broke at last, however, and with it the wolves grew mute and slunk away, Nero quieted into obedience, and Browne carefully straightening his own stiffened joints and rising to his feet looked into his comrade's face and shook his head. "John, hearken to me, lad! We're in a sore strait but we're not dead, and daylight hath broken.
She was very tired of him tired to death. He had not even the courage to carry his bundle beyond the yard-end. As she meditated, at about nine o'clock, he opened the door and came in, slinking, and yet sulky. She said not a word. He took off his coat, and slunk to his armchair, where he began to take off his boots. "You'd better fetch your bundle before you take your boots off," she said quietly.
"You see," he said, "we skirt these rocks and then we shall ride through the village. One can very well imagine it has been the same always." They entered the little town. The streets were extremely narrow and the dark houses gave an air of mystery a speculation what could be going on behind those closed shutters? Here and there a straight blue-clad figure slunk away round a corner.
Don't you reckon the thieves slunk back and lugged him off, Tom?" "Looks like it. It just does. Now where'd they hide him, do you reckon?" "I don't know," I says, disgusted, "and what's more I don't care. They've got the boots, and that's all I cared about. He'll lay around these woods a long time before I hunt him up."
