I don't know which alarms me most--a cow or a tree.

I once met a cow in a field by night.

The creature looked at me.
I assure you it turned my hair grey.

It's a disgrace that the animals should be allowed to go at large." "And what did the cow think of _him_ ?" Venning mumbled to Susan, who immediately decided in her own mind that Mr.Hirst was a dreadful young man, and that although he had such an air of being clever he probably wasn't as clever as Arthur, in the ways that really matter.
"Wasn't it Wilde who discovered the fact that nature makes no allowance for hip-bones ?" enquired Hughling Elliot.

He knew by this time exactly what scholarships and distinction Hirst enjoyed, and had formed a very high opinion of his capacities.
But Hirst merely drew his lips together very tightly and made no reply.
Ridley conjectured that it was now permissible for him to take his leave.
