Now what's bitin' you?" "The sheep! He kill the lamb!" cried the herder. Fadeaway laughed. "Did, eh? Well, I tried to call him off. Reckon you heard me whistle him, didn't you?" The cowboy's assertion was so palpably an insult that old Fernando's anger overcame his caution. He stepped forward threateningly. Fadeaway's gun was out and a splash of dust leaped up at Fernando's feet.
He certainly does!" "Just 'ike a saw bitin' wood." "That's it, Gerry! I'll have to speak to Shag about it. But now, Gerry, my boy, you must keep still while Unk Bob catches a big fish." "Ess, I keep still. But you tell me a 'tory after?" "Yes, I'll tell you a story." "Will you tell me how you was a fissin', an' a big white ball comed an', zipp! knocked ze fiss off your hook?
"'Tis few words ye do be shpakin' to annybody, but if y' have kind words to shpake and good things to say, y' naidn't be bitin' yer tongue," she added in response to his nod, and left him. Charley looked after her with a troubled face. On the instant it seemed to him that Mrs. Flynn knew all.
They nudged each other and whispered their jokes about the beating. "Must er bin er flea bitin' me!" "I felt sumfin. Don't 'zactly know what it wuz. Mebbe a chigger!" "Must er been a flea.

She stooped to pick a primrose and an opening bud; but Joe stopped her. "Doan't 'e pluck 'em. Never take no flowers off of a graave. They'm all the dead have got." "But they'll die, Joe. Theer's frost bitin' in the air already. They'll be withered come marnin'." "No matter for that," he said; "let 'em bide wheer they be." The man was silent a while as he looked at the mound. Then he spoke again.
The smile I gets for that would have been worth half a dozen jobs. I was lookin' for her to go white and begin bitin' her upper lip, like they usually does; but she ain't that kind not on your nameplate!
The girl thought that the old lady's deliberate method of eating proceeded from her want of teeth; but the man who had waited at dinners where Miss Panney was a guest contemptuously repudiated this assumption. "I've seen her eat," said he, "and she's never behind nobody. She's got all the teeth she wants for bitin'." "Then why doesn't she get through?" asked the girl.
I've had three years' campaignin' with th' fightin', bitin' Ninth, An' never lost my temper 'till right now. I've had the yaller fever an I've been shot full of holes, I've grabbed an army mule plumb by its tail; I've never been so snortin', really highfalutin' mad As when y'u up an' hands me ginger ale!
'A man, says he, 'can live f'r months on a little booze taken fr'm time to time, he says 'They'se a gr-reat dale iv nourishment in it, he says. An' I believe him, f'r manny's th' man I know that don't think iv eatin' whin he can get a dhrink. I wondher if the time will iver come whin ye'll see a man sneakin' out iv th' fam'ly enthrance iv a lunch-room hurridly bitin' a clove!
What that good man must have suffered durin' those ten long years, nobody but himself could know. Now that he was free, possibly he would sell his farm an' go back to the city to live, an' I, to whom he had been so good an' grand, would soon be forgotten. Ah! that was a bitin' thought.
