So you see, my dear, that I fare the worse on Mr. Hickman's account!
"'Twas now, when flowery lawns the prospect made, And flowing brooks beneath a forest shade, A lowing heifer, loveliest of the herd, Stood feeding by; while two fierce bulls prepared Their armed heads for light, by fate of war to prove The victor worthy of the fair one's love; Unthought presage of what met next my view; For soon the shady scene withdrew.
Bruno gave a slight start at these words, but his eye-glow and face-flush bore witness that the idea thus suggested had not been unthought of in his own case. "Then you really think " "That there's more ways than one of skinning a cat," oracularly observed Waldo.
