His only companions are his dogs and the three or four thousand sheep he is herding. All day long, under the burning sun, he follows the herd over the rainless prairie, as it nibbles here and there the short grass and slowly gathers its food. At night he drives the sheep back to the corral, and lies down alone in his hut. He speaks to no one; he almost forgets how to speak.
I found that the bite I took off of each piece I had ready for him when he finished with the one he had in hand satisfied me as nothing I had ever eaten in all my life before had done, while at the same time my nibbles soothed his conscience about robbing me. His teeth are big and strong and white and his jaws work like machinery.
Gartney smiled a little, feebly; and an expression of almost childlike rest and relief came over her face. She felt herself in strong hands. "And you?" she asked. "Shall I send you something here?" "I've drunk a cup of tea, before I started. If I see my way clear, I'll run down for a bite after you get through. I don't want any special providings. I take my nibbles anyhow, as I go along.
A lady living near a theatre in this city bought a Guinea pig in Chicago recently and brought it home, and it has been in the family ever since, and it has never learned anything except when it is hungry it goes to the lady and nibbles her foot, and how it learned that nobody knows.
To-day in Egypt you will see everyone eating them; even the solemn baby seated astride its mother's shoulder picks out the grains and nibbles them like a little monkey. The straw part of the plant is used for many things: it feeds the numerous domestic animals of the Egyptians to begin with the donkeys, camels, buffaloes, bullocks, goats and it forms thatch for the huts and makes bedding.
Are you fond of fishing?" "It's a passion with me. One must keep one or two for one's old age, young man." "You've been having sport, I hear." "Well, this morning, between eight and nine, there were a few nibbles; but since then the sport has been very poor. However, I'm very glad to see you again, Mouillard. That essay of yours was extremely good."
This may take a while, so you'll have to find something to do in the mean." "How about we go and talk to the Queen while you make us our glasses?" suggested Nibbles. "A grand idea!" replied the guard. He opened the gate and the company entered. The Emerald City of Oz is a truly remarkable place.
Sometimes, towards morning, he drops in for a visit, literally drops in, by way of the chimney and the open fireplace. He knows no fear. Going to the kitchen, he helps himself to the doughnut left on the table for him. If it is a whole one, he nibbles all around it. If only half a one he carries it away. You may close the kitchen door and catch him with your bare hands.
I believe a crooked pin for a hook, baited with a vile earthworm, and in half an hour caught more fish than we had nibbles throughout the day!
"I've got a couple of nibbles from some real mining men not some of these little, one-candle power promoters but the kind that pay with certified checks and if I can open up those claims and just get a color of copper I'm fixed, boy, that's all there is to it. Come on now, let's go in to dinner."
