She certainly showed that she had designs on Jake. She held out the feed pan, and gritted her teeth when Tango gratefully ducked his nose into it. She let him have one quivery-lipped nibble, and pushed the pan ingratiatingly toward the black muzzle beyond. Jake was not a bronk. Having "good blood" he was tame to a degree.
Like MacGregor, they evidently saw something beneath his habiliments, though the small mustache puzzled them. "You-all been to France?" asked Dave. De Launay did not answer direct. "There was some reputed bronk peelers nursin' mules overseas," he mused. "Their daddies would sure have been mortified to see 'em." "We didn't dry nurse no mules, pilgrim," said Sucatash. "When did you lick Hindenburg?"
He stayed home to talk loudly and play bucking bronk with Babe all up and down the stairs and in the halls. Our rent was paid for a month in advance, and the landlord was too little and old to fight. So he sold out cheap and it really was a good stroke of business for us, though not deliberate. "Well-sir, at first we lost tenants who didn't enjoy the freedom of their neighbors' homes.
But that's all they are; just accomplishments. We know a man when we see him, and it don't matter whether he can ride a bronk straight up, or don't know which way a saddle sets on a horse. If he's a man he gets as square a deal as we can give him." Park reached for his cigarette book. "And as for hunting outlaws," he finished, "we've got old Lauman paid to do that.
They went so far as to attempt some poetizing on the subject of Johnny's downfall in the corral, but no one seemed able to eliminate the word bronk at the end of the first line, "Johnny tried to ride a bronk." No one seemed able, either, to find any rhyme but honk. They tried ker-plunk, and although that seemed to answer the purpose fairly well, they were far from satisfied.
He was ridin' the lines an' steadyin' the bar'ls, busy as a dog at a badger hole, when the cat jumped out, an' that there bronk r'ared back and swung off short and hit fur the mesa; and Luck here a-hangin' and hollerin', an' me a-leggin' it to ketch up, and bar'ls teeterin' and Mind how you was bound you'd kill that cat uh mine?" he asked Luck, tears of laughter dimming his eyes.
I can't bear to watch your mental and spiritual dissolution a man like you, with all your latent ability and capacity for being nobody in particular which is the sort of man this nation needs. Do you want to turn into a club-window gazer like Van Bronk?
I'd like to meet up with the yahoo that wrote that rank yarn! I'd ask him where he got his lack of information. Huh! A cow-puncher togged up like he was going after the snakiest bronk in the country, when he was only going to drive to town in a buckboard! 'His pistol belt and dirk and leathern chaps' oh, Lord; oh, Lord! And spurs! I wonder if he thinks it takes spurs to ride a buckboard?
He got up abruptly and went outside, and came in with wood for the cookstove, and became exceedingly busy, never once looking toward the other end of the room, where Bud was sprawled upon his back on the bunk, with Lovin Child astride his middle, having a high old time with a wonderful new game of "bronk riding."
Applehead's eyes turned anxiously to Rosemary, toward whom he was beginning to show a timidly worshipful attitude. "You bet I can. Do you remember the time we hitched that big bronk up with old Wall-eye, to haul water?
