He is just and honest to a degree, and he has a big generous heart. Doctor Grenfell accepted the silver fox pelt, and as he steamed down the coast he ran his vessel in at Captain Bartlett's station. He had confidence in Captain Bartlett. "Here's a silver fox skin that belongs to David Long's lads," said he, depositing the pelt on the counter.
"If her pelt had been good and the cubs had been big enough, I reckon I'd have got even with her for caching me, but she wasn't worth skinning and the cubs were no good for grub.
She saved my life. She hain't no folks. I hain't no folks. She got away that morning o' the massacre she see them take us captive she gets a white pelt to hide her agen the snow she come, she do all them cold miles and lets me loose when the braves ain't watching . . . she risks her life to save my life she don't belong to nobody. I don't belong to nobody.
Is he going to lie down and die?" "Surely not!" cried Marcus, excitedly. "No, he is up again, and here he comes." "Then perhaps it is not so bad as I thought, boy. Yes, here he comes as hard as he can pelt. He can't be very bad, unless this is his last struggle to get to your side." "And yours, Serge," said Marcus, mournfully.
That was my old dog that grew up with me the faithfulest little chap in Lost Chief. I'd have paid you for the pelt and you know it. What did you shoot him for?" Charleton's jaws worked. "I'll show you and Scott and the whole valley that my traps and my hunts are not to be interfered with!" "Still you don't get the idea," Douglas was now not an arm's-length from Charleton.
It was a glorious sight to see the herd of upwards of a hundred of these superb animals close up at the alarm of the shots, and pelt away in a dense body through the dark green mimosa bush that hardly reached to their shoulders; but pursuit was useless.
Look at that young rogue in the old mossy apple-tree that great tree, bending with the weight of its golden-rennets see how he pelts his little sister beneath with apples as red and as round as her own cheeks, while she, with her outstretched frock, is trying to catch them, and laughing and offering to pelt again as often as one bobs against her; and look at that still younger imp, who, as grave as a judge, is creeping on hands and knees under the tree, picking up the apples as they fall so deedily, and depositing them so honestly in the great basket on the grass, already fixed so firmly and opened so widely, and filled almost to overflowing by the brown rough fruitage of the golden-rennet's next neighbour the russeting; and see that smallest urchin of all, seated apart in infantine state on the turfy bank, with that toothsome piece of deformity a crumpling in each hand, now biting from one sweet, hard, juicy morsel and now from another Is not that a pretty English picture?
I don't want your carpenter; only send me down a hammer, a wedge, and a few strong nails. Now, you can do nothing more for me, so pack off!" "We are going at once," said the more handsomely dressed visitor in a thin and effeminate voice. "What can a man do when the boys pelt him with dirt from a safe hiding-place, but take himself off."
The rain came down with a steady pelt that drove right through to the body. The wagon wheels sank into every mud-hole and made it deeper. Prying out the leading ones seemed only to make it worse for the next. The discouraged mules would settle back in the breech ings, and not pull an ounce at the most critical moments. The drivers would become blundering idiots, driveling futile profanity.
We run as hard as we could pelt to Dick's cottage by the ma'shes, and got inside and stood listenin' to heer if we were bein' follered. Dick says to me, says 'e, 'S'posen it wor the chap who murdered owd Mr. Glenthorpe at the Anchor? I thowt as much meself, but a' tried to laugh it off, and says to Dick, 'What for should it be him?
