Brushing the blood from his eyes he stepped deliberately forward and aimed a blow that would have felled an ox, straight at his enemy's head. It missed; the drooping head snapped down like Judy before Punch and rose up again, truculently; then before the sheepman could regain his balance Hardy threw his whole strength into a fierce uppercut that laid Swope sprawling on his back.
Just then there was a roar from the tote-road as big Stefan, lashing his dogs, bumped down the path at a wild gallop and, a minute later, threw himself off the sled and was among them. "How do, peoples?" he shouted, advancing truculently towards Pat and Mclntosh. "Papineau telt me as how Hugo he get hurted bad and sick. And he say you peoples ask him whole lot qvestions about him.
"We're not an agricultural college either," he added in an undertone to Brother Dunstan, who shook his finger and whispered "hush." "I doubt if we ought to keep St. Joseph's Day," said the Prior truculently. There was nothing he enjoyed better on these Sunday afternoons than showing his contempt for ecclesiasticism. "Reverend Brother!" gasped Brother Dunstan. "Not keep St. Joseph's Day?"
At her third summons the door was cautiously opened by a large, repulsive-looking woman, with a mass of peroxidised hair. She stared at her visitor first in amazement, then in rapidly gathering resentment. "Mr. Joseph is at home," she admitted truculently, in response to Pamela's inquiry. "What might you be wanting with him?" "If you will be so good as to let me in I will explain to Mr.
"Anyhow, I bet he does," she muttered truculently through it. There was a sound of footsteps in the passage outside. The door opened, and the missing member of the family appeared.

We had heard these beasts nearly every night, but this was the first we had seen. Some days later we came upon the entire pack drinking at the river. They leapt suddenly across our front eighty yards away, their heads all turned towards us truculently, barking at us like so many watch dogs. They made off, but not as though particularly alarmed.
Let me blow de head off'n him! he said, with simple fervour; and, advancing a step nearer, he waved his disengaged fist truculently. In my role of Sam I had plainly made myself very unpopular. I have never heard so much emotion packed into a few words. Buck, to my relief, opposed the motion. I thought this decent of Buck. 'Cheese it, he said curtly. The other cheesed it.
And I'd like to help it, but the way she's going is too dangerous!" He went down into one of the hollows of the uneven plain. He saw a clump of a dozen or so cattle a little distance away. The bull looked up and snorted. The cows regarded him truculently. Their air was not one of bovine tranquility. He was up the farther hillside and out of sight before the bull worked himself up to a charge.
Then Nogales started back with his head thrown up jubilantly, but stopped when he was within calling distance and sang out, truculently: "Leddy get you both! He get everything!" He turned on his heel and soon was another lump around the water-hole. "That makes nine, Firio!" said Jack. He smiled in relief to be rid of Nogales; smiled in happy confidence, as if he were truly the ancestor's child.
Al-tan followed him, and it was evident that both were angry. Du-seen, a weapon half drawn, approached truculently. "The beast is mine," he reiterated. "Would you steal him?" "He is not yours nor mine," I replied, "and I am not stealing him. If he wishes to follow you, he may; I will not interfere; but if he wishes to follow me, he shall; nor shall you prevent." I turned to Al-tan.
