Not that I cared for you, you limb of Old Nick! not that I cared for you, except to wish with all my heart and soul that something or other had happened to you, you vagrant!

He ran his horse at full speed, but the spirit was gaining when the lasta on the saddle caught on a dead limb and was jerked away.

If I decided to broil my bunny or grouse, I got out my short fishing line and tied one end of it to a limb of a tree or to a tripod which I made by fastening three poles together, setting them over the fire. The other end I fastened to a green stick, three or four feet long, which I skewered into the meat. Then I gave my "broiler" a spin which wound up the line.

They've been watchin' me like buzzards on a limb over some carrion. I don't get out of their sight. "An' now they've finally got me. I've got a little of the gold in my pocket now here it is."
