Justice Bailey thought that if a game-dog was kept in a yard, chained up by day, and let loose at night, and, being so trained as to guard the preimises, he was to be considered as a yard-dog, and not as a game-dog. The setter is used for the same purpose as the pointer, and there is great difference of opinion with regard to their relative value as sporting-dogs.
As to his fitness to be an errand boy, he could not carry a message from the kitchen to the cowhouse without stopping by the way to play with the yard-dog, and a hedgehog in the path would probably have led him astray, if Thomasina had had a fit and he had been despatched for the doctor. During school hours he spent most of his time under the fool's cap when he was not playing truant.
But in what way had the thief contrived by night, when the stable was locked, to steal Malek-Adel? Malek-Adel, who would never let a stranger come near him even by day steal him, too, without noise, without a sound? And how explain that not a yard-dog had barked? It was true there were only two left two young puppies and those two probably burrowing in rubbish from cold and hunger but still!
"You must never go in there," said the yard-dog, "for if you approach the stove, you'll melt away, away." "I might as well go," said the Snow Man, "for I think I am breaking up as it is."
The fierce bull that ran with the peasants' herd, and the horses, when they dashed about the village, stamping their hoofs, moved me to fear, and everything rather big, strong, and angry, whether it was the ram with its horns, the gander, or the yard-dog, seemed to me the expression of the same coarse, savage force.
"Away, away," barked the hoarse yard-dog. But the girls in the house sang, "Come from your fragrant home, green thyme; Stretch your soft branches, willow-tree; The months are bringing the sweet spring-time, When the lark in the sky sings joyfully. Come gentle sun, while the cuckoo sings, And I'll mock his note in my wanderings." And nobody thought any more of the Snow Man.
'You are at home, replied Alice. I was in fact standing at the very door of my house alone. Alice had vanished. The yard-dog was about to approach, he scanned me suspiciously and with a bark ran away. With difficulty I dragged myself up to my bed and fell asleep without undressing.
It was only when a single mile separated him from his home that the thought of surprising his dear friends conquered his melancholy. He caught sight of the red roof of the house, saw the willow plantations, and heard the bark of the yard-dog. Upon the hillock before the gate stood a group of children. Otto could no longer endure the slow driving through the deep ruts.
