He went down with his horse. But now he was gone; and also the horse of Señor Yank. But I think he crawl off in the chaparral; and that the horse of Señor Yank run away with the other horse of the dead man."
She soon realised what had really happened, opened her eyes wide, whistled to herself, but did not waste time to yank open the bedroom doors and shout loudly into the darkness of the bedrooms: "Come and 'ave a look at this, it's dead, just lying there, stone dead!" Mr. and Mrs.
To Hattie that stare was beautiful, and in a way it was. As if two blue little suns were having their high noon. Sometimes Marcia offered to help, because toward the end, Hattie's back could ache at this process, terribly, the pain knotting itself into her face when the rotary movement of her stirring arm began to yank at her nerves. "Momie, I'll stir for a while."
Four miles beyond Emerald Bay is Tallac, one of the historic resorts on the Lake. Tallac was originally Yanks. In 1878 he bought, changed the name, and thenceforward Tallac became known. Little by little, as Yank had done, so Baldwin bought from sheep-men, squatters, and others until he had quite a holding. The hotel was built and in 1879 Sharp Brothers ran it. In 1880 Capt.

I'm afraid she's a goner, already!" thought Dick, with a great surge of compassion. However, seizing the unconscious girl by the shoulders he dragged her swiftly over the floor to the window through which he had come. The rope still dangled there. Seizing it, Dick gave it a gentle pull -not too hard, for fear the jerk might catch good old Dave of his guard and yank him over the roof's edge.
Yank pirouetted and balanced and "sasshayed" and tom-fooled in a manner wonderful to behold. We ended flushed and uproarious; and all trooped to the bar, which, it seemed, was the real reason for the existence of this dance hall. The crowd was rough and good natured, full of high spirits, and inclined to practical jokes of a pretty stiff character.
The ship gave a "yank;" there is no other word to express the frightful shock of her movement. She lay down on her lee beam ends with a crash of breaking crockery. Casks broke loose in the hold; gear fell from aloft; the captain was flung under me against the ship's side. The deck beneath us sloped up like a roof.
I cast about for an excuse, like a lad under the smarting charge of having said his prayers. "It wasn't any notion," said I; "Mr. Marsh came back too quick." "Why didn't you yank the paper, an' we'd a had it," said he. "We have got it," said I, putting my hand in my breeches pocket and drawing forth the letter.
