The horse was lathered and his sides heaved wearily as they pounded across the bridge over the creek which was the outlet to the swamp and emerged from a patch of woods in sight of Bristow's farm buildings. The house was set on a little hill among cleared fields and was in other respects much like the squire's own house except that it was smaller and not so well painted.
With the tip of my finger I made him bend his face to the right and the left, backward and forward, and I lathered and lathered, giggling like a schoolgirl. It amused me so to see my Captain obey me like a child; I would have given I don't know what if he had only had his sword and spurs on at that moment. Unfortunately, he was in his slippers.
As a result, Bat Wings was lathered to a fine dirt-color and there was one man in particular that the boss wanted to see. "Jim," he said, riding up to where one of the Clark boys was sullenly lashing the drag with his reata, "what in the hell do you mean by lettin' all them cattle get away? Yes, you did too. I saw you tryin' to turn 'em back, so don't try to hand me anything like that.
The horses, resting frequently and lathered by the work, had climbed the steep grade of the old road to Moraga Valley, and on the divide of the Contra Costa hills the way descended sharply through the green and sunny stillness of Redwood Canyon. "Say, ain't it swell?" Billy queried, with a wave of his hand indicating the circled tree-groups, the trickle of unseen water, and the summer hum of bees.
William Oliver lives, now?" The girl studied her quietly for a minute, with a closed, composed mouth. Then she said evenly: "Joe!" "Huh?" said a tall young man, lathered for shaving, who came at once to the door. "I'm trying to find Mr. Oliver William Oliver," Susan said smiling. "I'm a sort of cousin of his, and I have a special delivery letter for him."
The sight roused Pearson from his drooping pose in the saddle. He knew what Road Runner could do. The sorrel was lathered, and stumbling frequently; Road Runner was pegging away like a donkey engine. Pearson turned toward the sheepman and laughed. "Good-bye, Burr," he cried, with a wave of his hand. "It's a race now. We're on the home stretch."
This last requirement troubled the four friends from Seacove but little, save that Whistler and Torry occasionally wore a little fuzz on their cheeks, which Frenchy declared they lathered surreptitiously with cream, then let the ship's cat lick it off. "If they had a real ship's cat on this iron pot," retorted Torry, "I know who would most frequently have the attention of that.
If I got my hair cut, he'd want his cut too; and it always troubled him to see me shave as if he thought there must be something wrong somewhere, else he ought to have to be shaved too. I lathered him one day, and pretended to shave him: he sat through it as solemn as an owl, but didn't seem to appreciate it perhaps he had sense enough to know that it couldn't possibly be the real thing.
The whole body should then be lathered and shampooed for a short time in a warm bath; this is best done at bedtime. Much water is not needed; warm soapy lather, well rubbed all over, is what is required. If white specks show on the eyes, the treatment in article on Eyes, Danger to Sight of, will cure these.
His father was an upright man, and dealt equal justice among his children, whom he 'lathered' daily with the strictest impartiality.
