"By James!" vowed Gowan. "Before I'll butcher for such a knock-kneed tenderfoot I'll see him, in " "Hold your hawsses, Kid," put in Knowles. "The joke's on me. You go on and look for that bunch of strays, if you want to. But I'm not going to back up when Chuckie says I'm roped in." Gowan looked fixedly at Ashton and the girl, swore under his breath, and swung to the ground.
"I'll not give up the hunt until I have found her." He turned again to the cavalrymen. "If the finest little black mare, with a white blaze, that you ever saw strays into your camp remember she belongs to me," he went on. "I want her returned at once, and if anybody attempts to keep her there will be a hotter time than this Territory has seen for many a day.
She seemed to take a certain sort of consolation for her own hard life in hearing the sordid details of the wretched waifs and strays that came wandering into the "home" at all hours of the day and night.
It is, however, a false idea that little waifs and strays, however dirty or neglected, are in any sense the scum of London. Youth, in all circumstances, is cream, and only turns into scum when allowed to stagnate or run to waste. Come, now, let us be off.
For a time the knowledge hurt Dave cruelly. Then he grew more accustomed to it. But though he called Mr. Carson "Dad" there was more or less of reserve. And Dave found himself many times, wondering who his real parents could be. "Some day I may find out," he said. There was much to do at the ranch, from rounding up cattle, looking after strays and branding, to making shipments.

Her children have her love, and her highest hopes are beyond the grave, where her imagination often strays. "I think I see her surrounded by her children, reaping the reward of her care.
I hope you will be gracious to him." Then she closed the door, and the two were alone together. "Florence!" he said. "Mountjoy! We hardly expected you here so soon." "Where the heart strays the body is apt to follow. I could speak to no one, I could do nothing, I could hope and pray for nothing till I had seen you." "You cannot depend on me like that?" she answered.
The 'coon seldom strays far from his tree, and, of course, when started, draws a "bee-line" for home, and the game is for the dogs which should be very swift, hardy animals, having the courage to tackle him if he should turn at bay to overtake him, and compel him to take to some small tree, where he can be easily shaken off or shot.
Another trail joined the one they were following and ran with and on top of it. This, he reasoned, had been made by one of the strays and would turn away soon. He kept his eyes looking well ahead and soon saw that he was right in his surmise, and without checking the speed of his horse in the slightest degree he went ahead on the trail of the smaller hoof-prints.
Whenever I exercises a bit of self-denial, I thinks: well, I'll do it for the dear dead lamb. I thinks o' him in the arms of Jesus, and nothink seems too hard to give up for the sake of the blessed One as takes such care of my darling." "I guess as that's why you're so good to 'strays," said John Moseley.
