Soon our little cavalcade came together, and we rode, laughing, and all talking at once, for a league or more. Our road had parted from the river at one of its great bends, and for an hour we had been slowly climbing a long hill. When we reached the top, we unsaddled for dinner in the shade of a tree by the wayside.
See what you can do for Vaca. He's pretty sick." "It shall be as the señor says. And the señor has made a fight?" "With those hombres? Not this journey! José Vaca made a mistake; that's all." Armigo, perturbed, shuffled to the house. Waring unsaddled the horses and turned them into the corral. As he lifted the saddle from Vaca's horse, he hesitated.
The man who loses his temper will be guilty of the wholesale murder that will follow. When Antrim rides up, send him after me!" He had not unsaddled Red King. He strode to the horse, swung into the saddle, and rode eastward, away from the advancing riders.
With the swiftness of a falcon's sweep, the two knights, father and son, rushed at each other, and Yaroslavovich struck his father with the butt-end of his lance, and well-nigh overthrew him. Then said Yaroslav, the father: "Young boy, go to! or I'll punish thee!" So they made a second onset, and Yaroslav Lasarevich thrust the butt-end of his lance at his son and unsaddled him.
Collie rode up to the corrals that afternoon whistling as blithely as he could considering his injuries. He continued to whistle as he unsaddled Apache. At the bunk-house Brand Williams looked at him once, and bent double with silent laughter. The boys badgered him unmercifully. "Fell off a hoss! Go tell that to the chink! Who stepped on your face, kid? Been ridin' on your map, eh?
"Well," he answered, "that was at General Hiram Washington Tippet's; he keeps the post-office why, Sir, that was Caledonia city." I thanked him, unsaddled my horse, and bivouacked where I was, laughing heartily at my mistake in having asked for ice, when the two sides of the board made post-office. But I must return to Boston and its court-house.
They reached the barn at the end of this encomium, and Bard unsaddled his horse. The other watched him critically. "Know somethin' about hosses, eh?" "A little." "When I seen you, I put you down for a tenderfoot. Don't mind, do you? The way you talked put me out." "For that matter, I suppose I am a tenderfoot."
"What with one thing and another I've got a notion I'm going to take a liking to this country." The man was plainly very tired with rapid travel, and about the middle of the afternoon the young man unsaddled and picketed the animal near a water-hole. He lay down in the shadow of a cottonwood, flat on his back, face upturned to the deep cobalt sky.
She shut her teeth together and turned her face away from him. Blue led the way straight to the low, dirt-roofed stable of logs and stopped with his nose against the closed door. Billy Louise herself was deceived by the whirl of snow and would have missed the stable entirely if the leadership had been hers. She patted Blue gratefully on the shoulder when she unsaddled him.
By watching their preparations Michael found to his joy that the detachment were not thinking of visiting the copse, but only bivouacking near, to rest their horses and allow the men to take some refreshment. The horses were soon unsaddled, and began to graze on the thick grass which carpeted the ground.
