I made her wrap up warmly, and we crawled out, covered with chaff, rumpled, mussed up, but safe and happy; and found the sun shining over a landscape of sparkling frost, with sun-dogs in the sky and millions of bright needles of frost in the air, and a light breeze still blowing from the northwest, so bitingly cold that a finger or cheek was nipped by it in a moment's exposure.
"At half a dollar a day," he answered sharply. "They get that much from His Excellency, do they?" she asked in real surprise. "That doesn't look like filibustering, does it?" "'His Excellency!" he retorted. "Why won't you look this matter straight in the face? Napoleon or no Napoleon, the end of this thing is ruin." "Take care that you don't get lost in the debris," she said bitingly.
She did not answer him but sat down quietly by her first cow, a fine-blooded animal which soon showed signs of restlessness under her tense hands. "There! There! So Bossy," soothed Rose gently. "You never will learn how to manage good stock," Martin criticized bitingly. "Nor you how to treat a wife." "Oh, shut up." "Don't talk to me that way."
A titter danced along the benches and some fool in the back of the room clapped his hands. Judge Babson's face grew hard and his eyes narrowed to steel points. "The witness stands committed for contempt," he announced bitingly. "I direct that she be confined in the city prison for thirty days and pay a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars.

He made up his mind that he wouldn't submit to a great deal of her bad humor. And, in this spirit, he ignored a query put to him bitingly: "Where is the paper cutter?"

If the exposure of his hands had struck this fresh note, then any added action would but heighten the dilemma.

"I'd 'a' give my right hand to 'a' heerd 'im. I'd like to have Colonel Nate Forrester try to say anything to me about givin' anybody this ranch." She measured her words bitingly.
'History repeats itself, he remarked. 'How? she asked calmly. He was pulling at the heads of the cocksfoot grass as he walked. 'I see no repetition, she added. 'No, he exclaimed bitingly; 'you are right! They went on in silence. As they drew near a farm they saw the men unloading a last wagon of hay on to a very brown stack. He sniffed the air. Though he was angry, he spoke.
From Castle Rock onward the way took us to the westward of two conical hills which were well-known landmarks a hitherto untrodden route but the going was by no means bad. Bitingly cold for faces and finger-tips, still, no weights to impede us. We camped for lunch after covering seven miles, for the light was bad, but it improved surprisingly whilst we were eating our meal.
"Are you deaf?" demanded Rance; and then, emphasising every word, he rasped out: "The fellow you've been polkying with is the man that has been asking people to hold up their hands."
