You've rode his string, Bud? What are those for horses, huh?" "I'm a little particular when it comes to a saddle-horse," Bud admitted. "But I never asked any better than old Sanford's string." "You hear him!" said Carson. "Well, that Judy girl has rid horses like them for a dozen years.
The Berlin wool might remain in his portmanteau till his portmanteau should go with him to the cottage; but he would take the spectacles at once, and he must explain to Lady Julia what the lawyers had told him about the income. So he hired a saddle-horse from "The Magpie" and started after breakfast on the morning after his arrival.
She was so tiny and he so big that she terrorized him as a mouse an elephant, or a baby a saddle-horse. The elephant is probably afraid that he will squash the little gliding insect, the horse that he might step on the child. The disparity between Jim Dyckman and Kedzie was not so great, and they were both of the same species. But he felt a kind of terror of her.
It was his first trip over the new Milwaukee, and we trusted to you." Tisdale pursed his lips, shaking his head slowly. "I guess I am responsible.

Contrasts are pitiless things; and the wary woman-hunter will break new paths rather than traverse those already broken by his rival.
I solemnly believe that the very best thing that could be done for you at this moment, you unfortunate individual, would be to buy you a saddle-horse and a revolver, and start you tomorrow for the Rocky Mountains, with distinct instructions to treat any man as a Border Ruffian who should venture to allude to the subject of disease in your presence.

But I shall explain my financial and philosophical ideas on a more favorable occasion. Go to Mariette, and report to me later. As for me, I have promised to take my little shop-girl out on a new saddle-horse which, by the way, cost me an outrageous price. Now don't fail to come or write to me; whatever happens, I want to share your joy or sorrow. But jump in and let me take you there."
