"No white mustang yet," said Dan. "I reckon we might as well give up the chase and go right into the city." "Not yet!" cried Poke Stover, pointing with his hand to the northwestward.
She wondered if she should become like the prisoners she had read of in books, who poured out their solitary affections on noisome creatures, and she regretted even the mustang, which with the buggy had disappeared under the charge of some unknown retainer on her arrival. Was she not a prisoner?
Jus' watch me fix Jud Carpenter agin. Wanter see me git even with him? Well, come along." "What'll you do?" asked Ozzie B. "I'll make that mustang break his neck for the way he treated you, or my name ain't Archie B. Butts that's all. Venture pee wee under the bridge, bam bam bam!"

I am afraid to tell him." "When do you expect to be there?" "Some time in May, if we can get any one to take us." "Perhaps I will look you up in the summer. If I do not go to Oregon, I may run over to Germany."

The scene of Bo's defeat was at the edge of the park, where thick moss and grass afforded soft places for her to fall.
