By the whiteness of the pack-saddle, I could see Modestine walking round and round at the length of her tether; I could hear her steadily munching at the sward; but there was not another sound, save the indescribable quiet talk of the runnel over the stones.
For an instant he seemed about to strike the priest; then he jerked at the tether and led his bullock out of the Temple court without replying. Jesus turned to the disciples, his voice indignant. "That man brought the best he had and was turned away!" Jesus walked toward the Beautiful Gate, between the outer courtyard and the inner court where the Temple building stood.
It seems that, if anywhere it should feel at home and evolve at ease, it would be among the things of the mind, in the domain of the mind.

"I am afraid," he announced, "that we have come to the end of our tether with that young man. It's a pity, too, for he isn't a bad sort, and it will do the club no good if it gets about.

Washington wrote, "We are at the end of our tether; ... now or never our deliverance must come." Impetuous young John Laurens was chosen to be this Ambassador Extraordinary to France. Laurens was greatly admired and loved by Lafayette and he recommended him to the affections of his noble relatives in Paris.
As to the lions, if ye build up a big fire, and keep somewhat aloof from the stream and its bushes, and tether you horses anigh the fire, ye will have no harm of them." "Yea," said Ralph, "but if the riders of Utterbol are anigh us, shall we light a candle for them to show them the way?"
