He strode off and harangued the Indians in a loud voice of command. "Who is he, Kiddie?" Rube was curious to know. "Who and what is he?" "A man of the name of Simon Sprott," Kiddie told him. "Used to be a friend of Gid Birkenshaw's years ago, when Gid was a lone trapper in Colorado." "Then he ain't a Crow Injun?" "Well, he is and he isn't," returned Kiddie, helping the boy to his feet.
Sir Francis strode out into the hall, and there was a hubbub of voices, and I heard Philip cry passionately: "Yes; I did hit him. He began on me, and I'll do it again a coward!"
He strode up and down the floor like a maniac; he raved; he beat his breast, and tore his hair and beard; and finally, he rushed into the parlor where his father and mother were seated together over a quiet game of chess, and he dashed the paper down on the table before them, smote his hand upon the fatal marriage notice, and exclaimed in a voice of indescribable anguish: "See! see! see! see!"
Steele strode up to a table which was surrounded by seven or eight men and he tapped Sim Bass on the shoulder. "Get up, I want you," he said. Bass looked up only to see who had accosted him.

Another hour, during which the men had thoroughly lost their temper, but not their hearts, by waiting; and talked so loud, and strode up and down so wildly, that Amyas had to warn them that there was no need to betray themselves; that the Spaniards might not find them after all; that they might pass the stockade close without seeing it; that, unless they hit off the track at once, they would probably return to their ship for the present; and exacted a promise from them that they would be perfectly silent till he gave the word to fire.

With a murmur of conventional apology King tore the envelope and in a second his eyes were ablaze with something more than wonder.

"Well, I must be off, Catherine. Good luck to you and to Miss Pelham but bad luck if either of you dares stick her mischievous finger in other people's pies." He strode out of the room and the house.
Dust-covered and sunburned he strode into the room with a pleasant grin. "Hello, folks! Why, Marion, are you sick?" "Kind of. What luck, Dad?" "Fair. Brought in a good stallion and some weedy stuff. How's the ranch, Jimmy?" He asked this with his eyes still on his daughter. "O.K., Charleton," replied Jimmy. "You made a long trip, Charleton," said Douglas.
The guide shook his head and strode over to the water hole, into which he peered. "You stay where you are!" he commanded sternly, to which there was no reply from the leader of the ruffians, who sat scowling up at him. "Mrs. Nesbit!
