Sometimes he git mad at oner de hosses an' frail it proper. Dat high temper run in de Dean fambly, chile. Dey gits mad, an' dey flies off, an' you just got to stan' it."

For land's sakes, don't ever fetch him down here again! I'll never forgit the time you did. All the folks an' children an' hosses in Pine broke an' run thet day." "Yes; but Tom wasn't to blame. Auntie, he's the tamest of my pets. Didn't he try to put his head on your lap an' lick your hand?" "Wal, Milt, I ain't gainsayin' your cougar pet didn't act better 'n a lot of people I know.

"It was the best horse pa ever had, too. It was a piebald pinto called Jo, after my cousin Josiah, who's jest a plain bad un and raises hell when there's any excuse. The piebald, he didn't even need an excuse. You see, he's one of them hosses that likes company. When he leaves the corral he likes to have another hoss for a runnin' mate and he was jest as tame as anything.
What things?" queried Moran. "Why, those long shiny things that jingle when you walk." "Haw! Haw! ... Say, Pan, I might ask you the same. What you travel with them spurs on your boots fer?"

"'Oh, I answered, 'he's a brown. Make haste, for I'm in a hurry. "He went off to the stables and returned in about two minutes. "'There's six brown hosses in the stable, sir. Would you mind coming and picking out yours? "I followed him with a sense of impending evil. Sure enough there were six brown horses in the big stable, and to save my life I couldn't have told which was Trumpeter.
We look everywhere in de hay-top, in de cotton gin-house, out on de prairie everywhere.
