This was too much for the old chief's patience. For the last ten minutes his lips had been, figuratively speaking, positively watering over the Masai Lygonani, and this he could not stand.
It will be the pastor's folly if he so insists upon the imagery of shepherding as to forget for one moment that the "sheep" are also, and in a larger aspect, his equal brethren and sisters, "the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty." It will be his folly, and the ruin of his true authority, if he forgets in any part of his service that he is not the master but the servant of the Church.
"I once done a man in Victoria," he said, "when I was shepherding; he found me out taking his fat sheep, and was going to inform on me, so I done him with an axe, and put him away so as nobody could ever find him." The squatter thought that Nosey's story was mostly blowing, especially that part of it referring to the murder.

It's the glory of out-facing the swells at their own game. There was a chap over in the other colony shod his horse with gold, and he had to go shepherding afterwards for thirty pounds a-year and his grub.
My meditations upon Pitt were, under this influence, favourable to the post of a Prime Minister, but it was merely appetite that induced me to choose him; I never could imagine a grandeur in his office, notwithstanding my father's eloquent talk of ruling a realm, shepherding a people, hurling British thunderbolts.

Meecher was manoeuvring in the background. Her face lit up grimly at the sight of Ginger. "Mister Kemp! I been looking for you." Sally intervened brightly.
