Neigh
A ''neigh'' () is the sound made by horses, horse Hybrid (biology), hybrids such as the hinny, and other equines, such as the zebra. It consists of a succession of jerky sounds, initially high-pitched and gradually lower. Produced on exhalation by the larynx and modulated, it enables the animal to express its emotions (such as fear or satisfaction) and to inform other animals through the sound produced. The main function of neighing is to alert other equines to its presence in the absence of visual communication. However, horses rarely neigh. Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, Buffon established a classification of neighs into five categories, according to the emotion expressed by the horse, which has been widely used in subsequent works. Today, we only speak of neighing when the horse is vocalizing, and of squeaking or whinnying in other cases. In literary works, the horse neigh is often the means by which it makes itself known to its rider and communicates with them. In div ...

The Hand Of Ethelberta
''The Hand of Ethelberta: A Comedy in Chapters'' is the fifth published novel by English author Thomas Hardy, published in 1876. It was written, in serial form, for '' The Cornhill Magazine'', which was edited by Leslie Stephen, a friend and mentor of Hardy. Unlike the majority of Hardy's fiction, the novel is a comedy, with both humour and a happy ending for the major characters and no suicides or tragic deaths. The late nineteenth century novelist George Gissing, who knew Hardy, considered it "surely old Hardy's poorest book". Plot summary Ethelberta was raised in humble circumstances, but through her work as a governess married well at the age of 18.
