"But as far as that goes you might have guessed that is you might have..." He broke off as a knock at the door heralded the entrance of a waiter bearing a tray with two frosty cocktails. "Ah! here's something to put a little colour in your cheeks. You want bucking up, you know! Here's how!" She took an appreciative sip, then set down her glass, turning on him a slightly troubled face.
Fuller, who had regained consciousness, worked his way laboriously down to the power room carrying three space-suits. He had stopped in the lab to get the power belts, and the three men quickly donned them to help them overcome the four-gravity pull. Another half hour sped by as the bucking ship forced its way through the terrific field in space.
I turned my face to the man at the wheel it was the giant negro Cochose. Both huge black hands grasped the spokes, and it was evident that it required all his giant strength to control the bucking wheel. He was an ugly-looking brute, the lower portion of his face apelike, and the wool growing so low as to leave him scarcely an inch of forehead.
We picked up the northeast trade right outside of Hilo harbour, but the miserable breeze was away around into the east. Then there was the north equatorial current setting westward like a mighty river. Furthermore, a small boat, by the wind and bucking into a big headsea, does not work to advantage. She jogs up and down and gets nowhere.
Often and often when the 'pot' rests between them Lablache will throw down his hand which goes to show that he does not want to take his money." "An' I reckon goes to show that he's bucking dead against Uncle John, only. Yes, I see." The little gray head again bent over the darning, which had lain almost untouched in her lap during her long recital.
I tried to reverse the engine, but it would only work in one direction. He backed me into the ditch, and then across it on to the side path, then against the fence, bucking at it, and trying to go through and put me in the Tarra. I told Andrew, junior, to take the giraffe home to his parent, and relate what he had seen.
I forgot the ducking and forgave her with all my heart. I held her nose well out into the channel where the current ran with swells, though no wind blew. Bucking the rapids, she split the fast water over her nose and sent it aft in two clean-cut masses, that hissed about her like angry skirts. A light, V-shaped wake spread after, scarcely agitating the surface. She dragged no water.
Without a preliminary movement, either of lunging or bucking or leaping to one side, or any of the expected tactics, Sunnysides, with incredible suddenness, reared straight up into the air, threw himself over, and fell on his back, pinning Haig to the ground beneath him. Before any of the men could move, the horse rolled over sprawling, scrambled to his feet, and charged at the fence.
The definition of good behavior on the frontier is even more elastic for a saddle-horse than for a team. Last spring one of the Three-Seven riders, a magnificent horseman was killed on the round-up near Belfield, his horse bucking and falling on him. "It was accounted a plumb gentle horse too," said my informant, "only it sometimes sulked and acted a little mean when it was cinched up behind."
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.
