The voice seemed earnest and sincere, the eyes considerate and pitying, and the advice appealed to her as good; but "Just for to-night, put yourself in my care," he said. "I'm ashamed to have annoyed you to such an extent and to have interfered with your plans; but I could not help it. You have succeeded in balking the DETECTIVE, but the MAN admires you for it.
Remember that many riders beat themselves by over-eagerness. Well let 'em, Barnabas. Don't rush your fences, give your mount time, and steady him about twenty yards from the jump. Remember that a balking horse generally swerves to the left, Barnabas. Keep your eye open for the best take-offs and landings. Gauge your payce, save your horse for raycing at finish.
In fact he cannot stand it; no matter how ugly his tricks may be, such as kicking, balking or anything else, if you use the persuader on him at the time, you can conquer him at once; make him as meek as a lamb, and glad to do anything to escape the torture inflicted by the persuader.
Of what I get from the past, prehistoric and historic, perhaps the most subtle distillation is the fact that so far is the life-principle from balking at need, need is essential to its activity. Where there is no need it seems to be quiescent; where there is something to be met, contended with, and overcome, it is furiously 'on the job. That life-principle is my principle.
Better reconsider, Matthews." "Can't do it." Colonel Cummings left his library, where he had been talking, and sought Lounsbury's advice. The two held a short, whispered conversation in the entry.

Suffering from an unwonted raking of spurs, Pat had taken to sudden rebellion balking at first, then beginning to buck, flinging about in all directions except the way desired by the fugitive on his back. Riding close and noting this, Jim felt glad beyond all decency. He even chuckled with satisfaction, conscious almost of a desire to dismount and hug the black. Then his feeling changed.
The old life had grown to seem more like a dream than a reality, and the balking of his determination to reach the coast and return to London had finally thrown the hope of realization so remotely into the future that it too now seemed little more than a pleasant but hopeless dream.
By means of logic, sarcasm, and the entire force of his prerogatives, Dinwiddie secured from his own balking Assembly 10,000 pounds with which to raise troops. From Maryland he obtained nothing. There were three prominent Marylanders in the Ohio Company, but or because of this the Maryland Assembly voted down the measure for a military appropriation.
You'll take my whole heart and soul and life all that I have been and all that I'm going to be and be glad to get it, and now you're balking at ten cents that I happened to have in my stocking when I took the fatal step." "Dear heart, don't. It's different tremendously different. Can't you see that it is?"
Wherever the trotting, treacherous pasture faltered between hobbly, rock-strewn glare and soft, lush-carpeted spots of shade, she chose the hobbly, rock-strewn glare! On and on and on! Till dust turned sweat! And sweat turned dust again! On and on and on! With the riderless gray thudding madly after her! And Barton's sulky roan balking frenziedly at each new swerve and turn!
