With his ax Bill cunningly cut the saddles, carving them down so that the rainfall would drain down the corners rather than lie in the cavities and thus rot the timbers.
Sonny managed to reassure her, and insisted on going along, and he insisted on taking his ax with him. That meant doubling the guard, to make sure Sonny didn't lose his self-control when he saw his former persecutors within chopping distance. It went off much better than either Paul Meillard or Luis Gofredo expected.
A score broke away and galloped breakneck for the south again, and perhaps fifty had gone down; the rest gathered about the wagons stared at Brian and Cathbarr in superstitious awe as the two lowered bloody ax and sword and offered terms. "I offer service to you," said Brian. "I am Brian Buidh, and if you will ride with me you shall find war. Those who wish may return to Ennis."
The rifle hung in its hooks, not to be disturbed. In other nights, of our first settlement, father did not feel safe; the string of the door latch was taken in, the door was fastened and blockaded on the inside, his ax and rifle were placed with care back of the curtains, at the head of his bed.
I felt very much interested in clearing this piece. When father took his ax and started for work I took mine and was immediately at his side or a little behind him.

"I doubt but I'll need to give him a thrashing," said Falkenberg. "Who?" "Lukas...." I got my pipe done, and sent Emma in with it to the Captain.
In a little storeroom he searched for and found an ax. With his thumb he felt of the edge for an ax it was marvelously sharp. The old fellow grinned and shook his head, as one who appreciates in anticipation the consummation of a good joke. Then he crept noiselessly through the castle's corridors and up the spiral stairway in the north tower. In one hand was the sharp ax.
Hi, 'oman!" he suddenly cried, turning the rays of the lantern in all directions, though the kitchen was quite light enough without them. "What de matter now, ole man?" asked Dinah. "Where Nora? I lef' her here an' she aint here now! where she gone?" "Hi, ole man, what you ax me for? how you 'spect I know?" "Well, I 'clare ef dat don't beat eberyting!"
