There was a sharp twist of the donkey's neck, and, quick as lightning, the fierce little animal made a grab at Tom. Fortunately he missed his shoulder, but he got tightly hold of the sleeve of his coat, and held on till Dick gave him a furious kick, when he let go. "Kick him again, Dick!" cried Tom, who looked very pale. "Ugh! the treacherous beast!"
The roses budded everywhere upon our old walls; my beloved little garden, bright and warm under the March sunshine, tempted me, and I would tarry there a long time to watch the insects wake up, and to see the early butterflies and bees fly away. Even the revised "Donkey's Skin" was neglected.
It was of no avail, however, for, urging my pony to increased speed, I was soon within range, and twirling the lasso around my head a few times, I launched it, directing its course, as nearly as my poor skill would permit, towards the donkey's head. It would certainly never have touched him had he pursued the direction in which he was then running.
A rush mat on the floor of the stable is my bed to-night, with a dozen unlikely looking natives, to avoid the close companionship of whom I take up my position in dangerous proximity to a donkey's hind legs, and not six feet from where the same animal's progeny is stretched out with all the abandon of extreme youth.
So he had to keep silent, and in the end he felt much better. "There, I think you will do now," said Mr. Mugg, as he tightly bound some bandages on the Donkey's leg. "When it gets dry I will paint it over and it will look as good as new." The mended Donkey was set aside on a shelf by himself, and not among the toys that were for sale. All day and all night long he remained there.
Red-and-white shapeless carcases were balanced on a donkey's back, kept steady by a sanguinary Moor who sloped along behind: the donkey knew its own way well, across the wide feddan, down a narrow street, and into the meat market. Thither hurried the lady missionary to buy a joint. If cooked before it has time to get cold the meat is tender, otherwise it must be hung.
Great irresolution was displayed at the injunction, but having consulted the face of Mr. Raikes, one fellow, evidently half overcome by what was put upon him, with the steps of Adam into exile, descended to the gravel, and laid his hand on the donkey's head. 'Hold hard! cried Old Tom. 'Whisper in his ear. He'll know your language.
She is hugging a tiny boy with one blue bead slung round his neck as a charm, just as it was round the donkey's neck in Egypt, people are very much alike all the world over! This little chap has silver bangles on his podgy ankles but not a rag of any sort of clothing.
"I'm not crazy, though I feel like it!" Dillon beckoned again. Janice slipped off the donkey's back. She looked pitifully frightened and irresolute. "I've located the chap who's the mayor of this village, or something like that. Take him along. They might not believe you, but they'll have to investigate when he turns up." A white-bearded villager reluctantly climbed into the back of the car.
Markham quickly unstrapped the donkey's pack and to Hermia's surprise drew forth a loaf of bread, some cheese, and a bottle of red wine which he set out with some pride on a flat rock near by. "This," he announced, "is our djeuner la fourchette. I won't apologize for it." "Wonderful man! Somehow you remind me of the sleight-of-hand performer producing an omelette from a silk hat.
