She thrust her nose into her mistress' hand and gave a low bark of delight. She was almost as tall as the colt, and seemed to understand his needs. She then turned to give a greeting lick upon the colt's nose. He jerked away, as though resenting the lady's familiarity, but nickered softly.
After an interval, during which she debated the wisdom of directing her pony into the wood for protection from the rain which was now coming against her face in vicious slants, her pony nickered shrilly! A thrill of fear assailed Sheila. She knew horses and was certain that some living thing was on the trail in front of her.
He nickered plaintively, and rolled his terror-stricken eyes toward the cowmen in wild appeal. "And like all of his kind, hoss and human," said Williams, dismounting, "he's askin' for help in a voice that sounds like it was our fault that he's in trouble. He's the limit!"
While Hale looked, the old man thrust his hand into the bushes and drew out something that twinkled in the sun. At the moment Hale's horse nickered from the bushes, and the Red Fox slipped his hand into his pocket, crouched listening a moment, and then, step by step, backed toward the ledge. Hale rose: "I want you, Red!"
Shadow nickered a greeting and turned around as if to purposefully edge her daughter forward for his inspection. "Pretty, ma’am," he told her. "Very pretty. She’s goin’ to be as fine a lady as her ma—I’m willin’ to swear to that." The filly lipped Drew’s fingers experimentally and then snorted and did a frisky little dance with her tiny hoofs rustling in the straw.
His bowed head, nodding to the pace of the pony, seemed to reiterate in grotesque assertion his spoken word. Ramon's tired body tingled as Dex strode faster. The horse nickered, and an answering nicker came from the night. His own tired pony struck into a trot. Dex stopped. Ramon slid down, and, stumbling forward, he touched a black bulk that lay on the sand.
A mysterious, vague shape grew impalpably upon the strained vision; a horse sneezed, then nickered eagerly. Vaughan drew up and waited. "Hello!" he called cheerfully. "Pleasant day, this. Out for your health?" The shape hesitated, as though taken aback by the greeting, and there was no answer. Vaughan, puzzled, rode closer. "Say, don't talk so fast!" he yelled. "I can't follow yuh."
Before I came within sight of Las Palomas near evening, my horse turned his head and nickered, and in a few minutes Uncle Lance and June Deweese galloped up and overtook me. I had figured out several very plausible versions of my adventure, but this sudden meeting threw me off my guard and Lance Lovelace was a hard man to tell an undetected, white-faced lie.
I do feel the need of support; the occasion is so horrible, and my cousin there," here a little gleam of alarm nickered into her eyes "is so very strange to-day." "Humph!" thought I to myself; "where is the grand indignant pythoness, with the unspeakable wrath and menace in her countenance, whom I saw when I first entered the room?"
Darius had attempted to trip Zoroaster with one foot, but slipping on the carpet wet with wine, had been bent nearly double to the ground; then by a violent effort, he regained his footing. But the great exertion had weakened his strength. Nehushta thought a smile nickered on Zoroaster's pale face and his flashing dark blue eyes met hers for a moment, and then the end began.
