Notwithstanding we gave her the richest herbaceous diet, she ate everything she could put her mouth on.

She was fond of horse blankets and articles of human clothing.

I found her one day at the clothes line, nearly choked to death, for she had swallowed one leg of something and seemed dissatisfied that she could not get down the other.

The most perfect nuisance that I ever had about my place was that full-blooded.
Having read in our agricultural journals of cows that were slaughtered yielding fourteen hundred pounds neat weight, we concluded to sell her to the butcher.

We set a high price upon her and got it--that is, we took a note for it, which is the same thing.
