Though a heavy, lumbering-looking animal, his charge is then rapid and terrific.

More accidents happen by the buffalo and the black rhinoceros than by the lion.

Though all are aware of the mischievous nature of the buffalo when wounded, our young men went after him quite carelessly.

They never lose their presence of mind, but, as a buffalo charges back in a forest, dart dexterously out of his way behind a tree, and, wheeling round, stab him as he passes.
A tree in flower brought the pleasant fragrance of hawthorn hedges back to memory; its leaves, flowers, perfumes, and fruit resembled those of the hawthorn, only the flowers were as large as dog-roses, and the "haws" like boys' marbles.

Here the flowers smell sweetly, while few in the south emit any scent at all, or only a nauseous odor.
