Though never for an instant faltering in my opinion that Augustus Fink-Nottle was Nature's final word in cloth-headed guffins, I liked the man, wished him well, and could not have felt more deeply involved in the success of his wooing if I, and not he, had been under the ether.
And he made a picture of Dunk, that time Banjo bucked him off you saw that happen, I suppose and it was great! Dunk was standing on his head in front of his horse, but I can't show you it, because it blew out of the window and landed at Dunk's feet in the path, and he picked it up and tore it into little bits. And he doesn't play in Chip's yard any more." "He never did," grinned Weary.
For some reason, unknown, I suspect, even to the god of chance, our animals behaved themselves and walked straight ahead in a beautiful dignity, while those weak-minded mules scattered and bucked and scraped under trees and dragged back on their halters when caught. The two men cast on us malevolent glances as often as they were able, but spent most of their time swearing and running about.
Then I take my young Cit in hand, tell him all about the good thing and get him worked up till he goes and takes an examination. I don't bother about him any more.

I didn't so much mind when he made me give up one of my new suits, because, Jeeves's judgment about suits is sound.
She was conscious of his restless, demanding eyes. "Oh, I must think it over," she begged. "Then you will!" he triumphed. "Oh, my soul, we've bucked the world you've won, and I will win. Mr. and Mrs. Babson will be won'erfully happy.
All about, in a narrow, earth-cut circle he bucked, beginning to grunt and warm to his work and hence to increase the deviltry and malice of his actions. Van had yelled but that once. He saw nothing, knew nothing, save a dizzy world, abruptly gone crazy about him. To Beth it seemed as if the horror would never have an end.
"Well, he's dead set on to buildin' a meetin'-house, and them fellows down at the Creek that does the prayin' and such don't seem to back him up!" "Whar's the kick, Bill?" "Oh, they don't want to go down into their clothes and put up for it." "How much?"
