"Marry, what should be this? Read me this riddle! To it and unyoke!" A dozen vacant guesses were made as the showman held it aloft. Then with a conjuror's gesture he suddenly placed his thumbs within the rim, released the spring and extended the hat. The assembly laughed again silently as before. "'Tis a hat," said the Cicerone, with a superior air. "Nay," said Maudlin, "give it here."
'There is no occasion for delay, and I should be sorry to keep you waiting, returned the tiger. 'If you'll unyoke the bullocks I'll be ready in a moment. With that the savage creature fell to sharpening his teeth and claws in a very significant manner.
The waggons were driven in even closer order; the women and children were told to keep between the lines; the men distributed themselves among the teams, ready to unyoke the oxen at the shortest notice, and to form the waggons in order of defence. Abe and his companions had not yet returned; but a quarter of an hour later they were seen galloping towards the camp.
Then we can make the Lignum Swamp to-morrow from the ram-paddock, and we can't make it from the selection. So I think we better be moving; it'll be dark enough before we unyoke. I've worked on that ram-paddock so often that I seem to have a sort of title to it." "But there's lots o' changes since you was here last," said Mosey.
Frank looked on for some time, and then a thought struck him. "Look here, you will never get the waggons on in that way, the oxen cannot pull an ounce. The best way will be to unyoke them, take them across, and get them up on the level ground on the top; then fasten your ropes together and hitch them to the waggon. The bullocks, on firm ground, can easily pull it across."
The carter, seeing the determination of this apparition in armour, said to him, "Please your worship, for charity's sake, senor, let me unyoke the mules and place myself in safety along with them before the lions are turned out; for if they kill them on me I am ruined for life, for all I possess is this cart and mules."
"They have smelt the water; it is not far off, sir," said Bremen; "we had better unyoke them all, and let them go." "Yes, by all means," said Alexander. So impatient were the poor beasts, that it was very difficult to disengage them, and many broke loose before it could be effected; as soon as they were freed, they followed their companions at the same rapid pace.
It appeared that that very morning the father, son, and grand-daughter were in the fields loading a couple of oxen with produce for the market-town, when an Austrian soldier presented himself, and, having examined the animals, which appeared to suit his fancy, ordered their owner to unyoke the beasts preparatory to his driving them off.
I did not think that we had got on so fast. It is about three miles off, so it will just be convenient for our breakfast. It will take us a good hour to arrive there, and then we will unyoke the oxen. How many have we yoked?" "Ten to each waggon. The other sixteen are following with the sheer and horses; they are as relays." "Let us gallop on," said the Major.
