Then Dave caught the cow by the tail, and she pulled him about the yard until two men took him away. The last cow put up was, so the auctioneer said, station-bred and in full milk. She was a wild-looking brute, with three enormous teats and a large, fleshy udder. The catalogue said her name was "Dummy." "How much for 'Dummy, the only bargain in the mob how much for her, gentlemen?"
A tall wild-looking man advanced towards them, he walked up and down agitatedly with his hands behind his back, huge whiskers descended on either side of his face, his hair was tightly drawn up to the top of his head; "Good day brethren," cried he, in a discordant voice, which Edmond immediately recognised for the same he had heard in the distance on the eventful night.
Next day, however, a strong wind blew wild-looking leaden clouds over the forest, and Autumn, taking fright, threw aside her gorgeous rustling mantle and fled away; while the loons on the lake fairly shrieked with laughter. Meanwhile, the work in preparation for the coming of winter had made good progress.
Viewed through the magnifying medium, a startling moving-picture swung into focus. Surrounding a big, covered wagon, of the prairie-schooner type, were from ten to a dozen wild-looking Mexicans, their straggling elf-locks crowned by high-peaked sombreros, and their serapes streaming out wildly about them, whipped into loose folds by the pace at which they rode.
This view of the matter so tickled Raeburn that he left Ralph and Dolly to see the "'normous gleat big cat" wrapped up, and went out of the shop laughing. But just outside, a haggard, wild-looking man came up to him and began to address him in excited tones. "You are the vile atheist, Luke Raeburn!" he cried, "Oh, I know you well enough.
It was evident that the utterer of this friendly antiphon was not a Lur. Fairer, taller, stouter, and older than his wild-looking crew, he was also better dressed in a girdled robe of gray silk, with a striped silk scarf covering his hair and the back of his neck in the manner of the Arabs.
It was indeed Morris that stood before them; not the Morris of ordinary days, but a wild-looking fellow, pale and haggard, with bloodshot eyes, and a two-days' beard upon his chin. "The barrel!" he cried. "Where's the barrel that came this morning?" And he stared about the lobby, his eyes, as they fell upon the legs of Hercules, literally goggling in his head. "What is that?" he screamed.
Wild-looking figures moved among the crowd, their garments, thrown loosely round them, affording a striking contrast to the cleanness of those of the Egyptians, while their unkempt hair was in equally strong contrast to the precise wigs of the middle-class Egyptians and the bare heads of the lower class.
Proceeding along a straggling street, which was more like a country lane than anything else, with a few shops scattered about here and there at intervals, for more than half a mile or more he in front with my box, I closely stepping in the rear after turning sharp round to the right and then to the left, past a little corner building which seemed to be a wayside inn, but was triumphantly lettered "hotel" along the top of its gable end, we at length debouched on to a solitary-looking semi-deserted row of red-brick houses that occupied one side of a wild-looking, furze- grown common, which I could perceive faced the sea; the sound of the low murmurs of the waves on the beach alone breaking the stillness of the desolate scene.
Canty, the storekeeper, looked up quickly, and the pressman looked round slowly both at Dad. "Here," continued Dad "let's have a look at yer tooth, old man!" The pressman rose. His face was flushed and wild-looking. "Come on out of this for God's sake!" he said to Canty "if you're ready." "What," said Dad, hospitably, "y're not going, surely!" But they were. A Lady at Shingle Hut.
