quitting beaten paths, keeping their heads sloping to the ground,

they are close to the hare itself, they will make the fact plain to

changes of gait and gesture,[16] now casting a glance back and now
fixing their gaze steadily forward to the creature's hiding-place,[17]
by twistings and turnings of the body, flinging themselves backwards,
forwards, and sideways, and lastly, by the genuine exaltation of
spirits, visible enough now, and the ecstasy of their pleasure, that
they are close upon the quarry.
