"He's had everything to do with it," said David; "but you see, we helped him first to find his jackdaw. That's how it all began." "Well," said Mr Hawthorne putting his hand on Ambrose's shoulder, "I think it all began in another way. I hear that Dr Budge has had a good and industrious pupil while I have been away, and that has made him so willing to help you.
If eleven o'clock had passed it did not run along in front of him, but would only, very grudgingly, rise when he came up, and then it would arch its back and suffer no caresses. When he came later yet, it would not budge, and would complain and groan if he took the liberty of stroking its head or scratching its throat. This morning it had no patience with Durtal's laziness.
Quoth he, "O whither, wicked Bruin, Art thou fled to my" Echo, Ruin? "I thought th' hadst scorn'd to budge a step For fear." Quoth Echo, Marry guep. "Am I not here to take thy part?" Then what has quell'd thy stubborn heart? Have these bones rattled, and this head So often in thy quarrel bled? Nor did I ever winch or grudge it, For thy dear sake." Quoth she, Mum budget.
"I haven't anybody to do my darning now," he said. "My girls are all at school, except two that's married. So " He finished his knot, took the reins in his left hand and the whip in his right. At first the old mare would not budge. Switching was of no avail. Saterlee brought down the whip upon her with a sound like that of small cannon. She sighed and walked gingerly into the river.
He tried first with one hand, then with the other, and at last with both. It was of no use at all. He just couldn't budge that fish. He couldn't cough it up, because it had gone too far down for that. The more he clawed at that waving tail with his hands, the funnier he looked, and the harder Little Joe Otter and Billy Mink and Jerry Muskrat laughed.
"Can't get her to budge, sir." "Oh, tell her " said Field, and stopped as if arrested by a sudden thought. "Who is it?" he asked. A grin so brief that it might have been a mere twitch of the features passed over the boy's face. "Wouldn't give no name, sir. But she's a nob of some sort," he said. "Got a shiny satin dress on under her cloak." Field's eyes went for a moment to his littered papers.

"Yes!" answered Betty after a breathless fashion. "Yes. A little more. Oh, come see. It looks almost like steps going down!" "I'll have to force it back a little farther," he returned. "Maybe it will balance there. If not we'll have to get loose stones and wedge under it." He pried it further and further until at last it would not budge another inch.
"She's on that train, confound you, and I'm going away with her whether you like it or not or anybody else, for that matter," said Windomshire, refusing to budge an inch. "Well, you'll have a damned hard time getting rid of me," roared Joe, trying to break past his rival. A baggage-man leaped between them in time to prevent blows.
"Well, then, what do you advise?" "Wait." "Hey?" "He won't run. I well, in fact, I could have shipped him off before this happened, and tried to persuade him to go." "The deuce you did!" "Yes, but he refused. And he won't budge now. My advice is wait, and pick a strong sheriff for next year.
