off with you, old Hector, or I'll hackle your hide with my ramrod when I get ye. There too is the hackle which is the old device of the De Brays. The lightning spattered the sky as a thrown egg spattered a barn door, but the light was pale blue, not yellow; and looking through my slit bamboo blinds, I could see the great dog standing, not sleeping, in the veranda, the hackles alift on her back, and her feet planted as tensely as the drawn wire rope of a suspension bridge. |
