I stooped to where she sat and gently lifted her limp white hand, saying: "Eloise, I was on a rock like this a night and a day alone on the prairie. I could not move nor cry out. But something inside told me to 'hold fast' the old law of the trail. You must do that with me now."
I I took you for a boy." He seemed so astounded, he looked so ashamed, so scared, and withal, so haggard and weak, that Lucy immediately recovered her equanimity. "Sure I'm a girl. But that's no matter.... You've been thrown. Are you hurt?" He smiled a weak assent. "Badly?" she queried. She did not like the way he lay so limp, so motionless. "I'm afraid so. I can't move."
He knew the tragedy, but the woman herself he had never seen, save in the darkness and rain of that awful night when she had held Lloyd Fenneben's head above the fast rising waters of the Walnut. He had never even heard her voice, for he had sustained the limp body of Dr. Fenneben while Saxon helped the woman from the river and as far as to her own gate.

He could ride his horse about, and often accompanied Dave on the latter's trips. The Chicago man could limp about fairly well, but in the West, at least on the cattle ranges, little walking is done.
Bill Holmes, his tan pumps wrapped in gunny sacks for protection against the snow that was a foot deep on the level and still falling, thrashed his body with his arms, like a windmill whose paddles have suddenly gone limp in a high wind.
Markham Moore goes as it lays hey, Lovins?" But Lovin Child had gone to sleep over his foster fathers' disposal of his future. His little yellow head was wabbling on his limp neck, and Bud cradled him in his arms and held him so. "Yeah. But what are we going to call him?" Methodical Cash wanted the whole matter settled at one conference, it seemed. "Call him?
