O knihe
Excerpt from A Boy of the First Empire
Across the open space that lay between the wide avenue and the grove of stately chestnut-trees came the figure Of a man, and at his heels, sniffing and thronging, moved the creatures that were so strange and inexplicable to the peeping city-boy - a dozen of the tame Barbary antelopes of St. Cloud.
They were dainty, timorous, graceful little beasts; but desire had overcome timidity, and they trooped after the man, now crowding all about him, now starting back in alarm as he plunged his hand into his coat pocket; but at him again they charged when his hand was withdrawn, and one and then another of the antelopes would thrust a brown muzzle into the extended hand, and, with sneeze and snort, lick up the powdery offering it held.
