Ashputtel's two sisters were asked to come; so they called her up, and said, 'Now, comb our hair, brush our shoes, and tie our sashes for us, for we are going to dance at the king's feast. Then she did as she was told; but when all was done she could not help crying, for she thought to herself, she should so have liked to have gone with them to the ball; and at last she begged her mother very hard to let her go.
The cattle seemed to scent a bear and stampeded in terror through the brush in various directions, all except one which was being led by a rope. They tried to follow the animals in a desperate effort to recover them and a few blankets they had upon their backs, but could only make slow progress.
"Four." In a jiffy they tied the horse and burro to the brush, and away they pelted, lunging and staggering up the slope, to the place where they had seen the bear. He wasn't there now, and he wasn't anywhere in sight, either; and though they searched closely, they could not find even a drop of blood. "I guess I missed him clean," confessed Billy, ruefully. "I was in too big a hurry."
Browne, with Flood, my stockman, and Mack, to run them in; but the brush was too thick, and in galloping after a fine bull, Flood's carbine went off, and carried away and broke three of the fingers of his right hand.
The Indians were erecting a fire-stake, such as they had used in the wild west when some victim was to be roasted alive! "Heavens! can that be meant for me?" was the question he asked himself. The stake planted and fastened firmly, Yellow Elk heaped some fresh, dry brush around its bottom and then came up to Pawnee Brown.
Lydia goes on dealing off little tinkles of string music in a tired, bored way and turns confidentially to me to say she supposes there is really almost no society up here in the true sense of the word. "You opened that trunk?" says Oswald at last in tones like a tragedian at his big scene. Lydia turned to him quite prettily impatient, as if he was something she'd have to brush off in a minute.
"If I do tumble in, the water is not up to my chin, and it will be a cool hiding-place this hot day." "But there is Susan gone to lay the cloth; and you must be brushed; for you are all over dust. Come up, and I will brush you." Hugh was determined to have a little more dust first.
"Oh! but it's all so simple, darling." And Felix saw that she had something in her hand, and mind. "This is my little electric brush. It'll do wonders with your hair. While you sit there, I'll just try it." A clicking and a whirring had begun to occur close to his ear, and something darted like a gadfly at his scalp. "I came to tell you something serious, Mother."
Two or three miles to our left the foot-hills rose sheer and bare, with clumps of black pine and cedar in their gorges. We rode over gently rolling prairie, with here and there patches of brush in the bottoms of the slopes around the dry watercourses. At last we reached a somewhat deeper valley in which the wolves were harbored.
Ethel resolutely adhered to her father, and her cousin took care of Meta, who had been clinging in a tiptoe manner to the point of her brother's high elbow, looking as if the crowd might easily brush off such a little fly, without his missing her.
