In two minutes this yere spreads to a general conflagration, and the last I sees of my deer he's flyin' over the Divide into the next canyon with his tail a-blazin' an' him utterin' shrieks. I has only time to make camp, saddle up, an' line out of thar, to keep from bein' burned before my time.
"'I'm takin' it ca'm enough, only I'm wonderin' how I'm goin' to fetch loose, when I notices them sparks from his hoofs sets the pine twigs an' needles a-blazin' down by the base of the rock. "'That's what comes to my relief.
So that's why, son, you've been seein' them lights a-blazin'. I've been seein' 'em myself fur goin' on twenty year or more, I reckin 'tis by now, and I've got used to 'em. But I ain't never got over wonderin' whut kind of thoughts he must have over there all alone by himself at night with everything lit up bright as day around him, when by rights things should be dark.
He's going to thrash around like h l a-blazin'; we'll have to choke him down." Mose shook his head. "I can't stand that. I s'pose it'll skin his fetlocks if you get him by the feet." "Oh, it may, may not; depends on how he struggles."
And all the time the sun was a-blazin' and the dust was a-blowin and the clouds would roll up and then drift away and the sun would come out hotter 'n ever. Day after day, month after month, we waited eighteen, I think it was. People got so they wouldn't pray no more, and the preachers moved away. I guess we was as bad off as them pore folks in Beljum.
My eye was jist a-blazin'! I jist straightened myself up so jist as I is now, plum to de ceilin', mos' an' I digs my fists into my hips, an' I says, 'Look-a-heah! I says, 'I want you niggers to understan' dat I wa'n't bawn in de mash to be fool' by trash!
His bow was before him. It was a splendid sight, both horse and rider, as they rose together over the green swells of the prairie; a picture more like that of some Homeric hero than a savage of the wild west.

Political slush, all of it and the hull darned country a-blazin' behind you!" The crowd moved uneasily, then scattered away from the shelter of the depot to where they could snuff inquiringly the wind, like dogs in the leash. "That's right," yelled Blumenthall, of the Double Diamond. "There's a fire, sure as hell!" He started to run.
"'You ben spendin' your time there, have ye? she says, settin' up in her chair an' pointin' with her finger at the box. 'That's where you ben the last half hour, hangin' 'round with them minxes in Mis' Shoolbred's. What's in that box? she says, with her face a-blazin'. "'Now, Lizy, I says, 'I wa'n't there ten minutes if I was that, an' I ben buyin' you a bunnit.
My eye was jist a-blazin'! I jist straightened myself up so jist as I is now, plum to de ceilin', mos' an' I digs my fists into my hips, an' I says, 'Look-a-heah! I says, 'I want you niggers to understan' dat I wa'n't bawn in de mash to be fool' by trash!
