Much civility was expended on Lance; dogs, rabbits, and other curiosities were exhibited, and an invitation given to come with the other young gents to admire the favourite terrier's exploits upon a cage of rats shortly expected, admission free. 'You will come, won't you? cried Bernard eagerly, as they went out. 'What? To all the vilest sports in the place!
Dogs have two growls: one deep-rumbled, and chesty; that is polite warning the retort courteous; the other mouthy and much higher in pitch: this is the last word before actual onslaught. The Terrier's growls were all of the latter kind.
Once, I followed her track all through the town, and at last found it was only a pair of her boots on a ragged child in the gutter. I must say a word about Billy's tail before I close this chapter. It is the custom to cut the ends of fox terrier's tails, but leave their ears untouched. Billy came to Miss Laura so young that his tail had not been cut off, and she would not have it done.
Lady Susan chuckled and tried to restrain the Irish terrier's manifest intention of leaping on to her lap. "My dear boy, haven't you learned yet that nothing takes place in a tiny village like Silverquay without everybody's knowing all about it and a little more, too!

It had almost the appearance of a Japanese wig. The manly beauty of Mr.
It was Black-tip who pinned him to the earth, and Warrigal whose fangs next closed upon his body. But Finn smashed the terrier's body in half; and, in an instant, the snarling pack surged over the remains.

Six of her guns had gone; her men were baling in two gangs, and still she was down a bit by the head, and her stern yawing like a terrier's tail when his head's in a rabbit-hole. And there at the tiller stood Cap'n Jacka, his bald head shining like a statue of fun, and his one eye twinkling with blessed satisfaction as he cocked it every now and then for a glance over his right shoulder.
