With this he produced the plans, and then it was all up with us. Who does not know the peculiar smell of tracing-paper, with its suggestions of ownership? When these fresh and crackling drawings were opened before us they resembled nothing so much as a veritable paradise. There shone the lake a brilliant patch of cobalt blue, bordered by outlines of vivid green pasture and belts of timber.
"You boys head across that way and wait for me. The remuda is at the other end of the pasture under the care of a boy," explained the cowpuncher. "Hadn't I better go along with you in case of trouble?" asked Farrar. "There isn't going to be any trouble. I'm getting the horses for Pasquale. See?" After the others had left him, Steve lit a cigarette and sauntered to the far end of the field.
They've been playin' something, and that made them laugh." "I didn't know but I had snored," said the old man, sitting up. "No," said his wife. Then she asked, wistfully, "Was you out at the old place, Jacob?" "Yes." "Did it look natural?" "Yes; mostly. They're sinking the wells down in the woods pasture." "And the children's graves?" "They haven't touched that part.
Slick drew near to me, and said in an undertone, "That is what I call 'SOFT SAWDER. An Englishman would pass that man as a sheep passes a hog in a pasture, without looking at him; or," said he, looking rather archly, "if he was mounted on a pretty smart horse, I guess he'd trot away, if he could. Now I find " Here his lecture on "SOFT SAWDER" was cut short by the entrance of Mrs. Flint.

The country was rather favourable for the sailors, being very level and mostly green pasture, so that they kept along pretty easily, seeming just in their glory, all this being new work to them.
The darkness drew her, and she thought of climbing the hill and plunging into the depths of the larch-wood above the pasture. Then she glanced irresolutely along the street, and as she did so a gleam appeared through the spruces at Miss Hatchard's gate. Lucius Harney was there, then he had not gone down to Hepburn with Mr. Miles, as she had at first imagined.
So he trots past you, still planning; crosses the wall by a certain stone that he has used ever since he was a cub fox; seems to float across an old pasture, stopping only to run about a bit among some cow tracks, to kill the scent; and so on towards his big hill.
And, laughing a little, we promised that we would, and that we would also give the colt sugar lumps as well as her weekly salt. "Salting" the sheep and young cattle that were out at pasture for the season was one of our weekly duties. When we were very busy we sometimes put it off until Sunday morning. Sometimes it slipped our minds altogether for a few days, or even for a week; but Mrs.
We met two little barefooted girls leading some cows, and a boy who passed us on a run, with a huge load of straw on his shoulders. The master told us that they were scholars of the second grade; that in the morning they led the cattle to pasture, and worked in the fields barefoot; and in the afternoon they put on their shoes and went to school. It was nearly mid-day. We encountered no one else.
As it was, his spirit was broken, and that was about all. He went home a much humbler boy than he was when he came to the goat pasture; and a somewhat wiser one, too. After that unfortunate leap, if Tom ever boasted largely of what he could do and what he had done, it was a very common thing for his playmates to say, "Take care, Tom; remember that famous leap."
