While the fire that had consumed the surprised city was slaked in the blood of its miserable inhabitants, the distress of high-born beauty, or the remonstrances of the defenceless priest, often arrested the career of the warrior, who viewed the slaughter of unoffending peasants and of simple burghers with as much indifference as that of the wild-boar or the red-deer which it was his pastime and his privilege to destroy.
One's soul in deep gladness drank in the ineffable loveliness of nature, as if athirst for the beauty of light and life. Part xi. The Tokay district Visit at Schloss G Wild-boar hunting Incidents of the chase.
That he was devout as a monk of the middle ages, conforming daily and hourly to religious ceremonies, need scarcely be stated. It was not probable that the son of Philip II. would be a delinquent to church observances. He was not deficient in courage, rode well, was fond of hunting, kept close to the staghounds, and confronted, spear in hand, the wild-boar with coolness and success.
"It is Count Neroweg, whom your father dexterously kidnapped from the very midst of the leudes with the aid of two of his comrades." "Neroweg in our power!

She forced him back to the marble bench, screaming: "So that's why the priest found no word of praise for my beautiful pig! You're a thief, a cheat!
"The Governor says, you are not the Sheikh; he is the Sheikh." "So, does he say?" "I am," says the Sheikh, "from Timbuctoo; all the people are Mohammedans, and fast. Do you fast?" I. "I eat and drink what is good at all times, even wild-boar." The Sheikh and Youths. "Oh, wonderful!" They. "You write Arabic?" I wrote that God was one. They.
