Because the only law that a man's got in this country is hisself and if he's right, why, crossin' over with his gun explainin' his idees ain't the worst way to go. Anyhow, it ain't any worse than gettin' throwed from a bronc and gettin' his neck broke or gettin' stomped out in a stampede. Them's just regular, common ways of goin' out. I just wonder how Pete is makin' it?"
How do you s'pose I know what you'll do? I don't know what I'll do, myself, do I? And she answered right off, and kind of sharp, 'You was sure enough what was goin' to be done when you got father into this thing. And he just swore and stomped out of the house. So THAT sounds as if he had somethin' to do with it, don't it?" Galusha was obliged to admit that it did so sound.
Sez she, with a tender look down onto him: "Yes, I've been tellin' pa how I did hope we should meet you." Pa! There wuz sunthin' else I didn't approve of; callin' him pa, when the fact that they wuz on their bridal tower wuz stomped on 'em both jest as plain as I ever stomped a pat of butter with clover leaves.
"Must have camped here last night and while he was asleep the cattle stampeded down the cañon," Tim hazarded. "That guess is as good as any. They ce'tainly stomped the life out of him thorough. Anyhow, Bellamy has met up with his punishment. We'll have to pack the body back to town, boys," the sheriff told them.
He stomped over and helped himself to some soup and waited for his anger to simmer down. "I cannot do it ... I cannot do it," Mikah brooded, staring into his rapidly cooling soup as into an oracular crystal ball, seeking guidance there. Jason turned his back in disgust. "Don't end up like him," he warned Ijale, pointing his spoon back over his shoulder.
At that moment an orderly came rushing out of the office. He charged past the boys without seeming to see them, and rushed out of the building. "The general says if this leaks out, the Allies will invade at once. He's sure mad." O'Malley laughed softly. A few minutes passed and the orderly returned with a squad of armed soldiers led by a lieutenant. They stomped past the boys and into the office.
There are, I'll be bound, forty men within a mile of this house who would give their ears to have received such a letter." Mr. Mole smiled a self-satisfied, complacent smile, "Do you think so?" "I know it." Mole lifted his collar and shot his cuffs over his hands, as he stomped across the room, and looked into a glass.

"Ah," responded the Doctor, "Violence resteth in the bosom of fools."
Yes, frien's, them wuz the words. 'Let the licker be stomped by the Govunment for the sakes of the young chap, s' I, 'an' I'll hide the jug along er my wickedness in Teague's hoss-stable. So then, frien's, yess be a sojourneyin', an' ef you feel the needance er somethin' quick an' strong for to brace you for endurance, make your way to the lot, an' feel behin' the stable-door an' watch out for the kickin' mule!
The little church was filled with worshipers, while many sat in the shade of the trees that sheltered it, within the sound of the minister's voice. Down through the grove the hitched horses "stomped" and switched, but this was the only evidence of restlessness.
