Whenever the hurdles were shifted to a fresh place and the sheep had to be kept in a corner of the enclosure until the new place was ready for them, it was old Watch's duty to keep them from breaking away. He could not see nor hear, but in some mysterious way he knew when they tried to get out, even if it was but one.
Leaver, will you tell me what time it is, please? I have a dreadful suspicion that I shall be very late." As he drew out his watch a voice was heard from the other side of a clump of undergrowth, calling crisply: "All right, Jack, we're off. One more call before luncheon, and it's blamed late, so get busy." "In a minute," Leaver called back, smiling, as he showed Charlotte his watch's dial.
'Go below, can't ye, till your watch's called, says he, same's 't was aboard ship; but there! everybody knew he was all broke down, and everything tried him. But to see her flounce out o' that back door!" "'T was the evenin' after the funeral," Miranda said, presently. "I was there, too, you may rec'lect, seeing what I could do.
Snapping turtles were common throughout the woods, and we were delighted to find that they would snap at a stick and hang on like bull-dogs; and we amused ourselves by introducing Watch to them, enjoying his curious behavior and theirs in getting acquainted with each other. One day we assisted one of the smallest of the turtles to get a good grip of poor Watch's ear.
Flush's breathing is my loudest sound, and then the watch's tickings, and then my own heart when it beats too turbulently. Judge of the quiet and the solitude! To H.S. Boyd April 19, 1843. My very dear Friend, The earth turns round, to be sure, and we turn with it, but I never anticipated the day and the hour for you to turn round and be guilty of high treason to our Greeks.
Lollie looked a little sober, but said no word of fear for his watch's safety. "Now, we'll cook it," said the magician, and he poured the "omelet" into a bright, clean frying-pan. "Where's the fire?" he asked, holding the pan high aloft, and looking all about. "There isn't any," said Mr. Fayre; "you didn't tell me to provide a fire."
No man, between Salisbury Plain and Smithfield, was thought to conduct a flock of sheep so skilfully through all the difficulties of lanes and commons, streets and high-roads, as Jack Bint, aided by Jack Bint's famous dog, Watch; for Watch's rough, honest face, black, with a little white about the muzzle, and one white ear, was as well known at fairs and markets as his master's equally honest and weather-beaten visage.
But the watch is even more in the right still, for its maker, man, virtually has the cogged wheels, springs, escapements, oil, &c., which the watch's conception has been supposed to attribute to him; inasmuch as all these parts must have existed as distinct ideas in the human watchmaker's mind before he could actually construct the clock formed by him.
