The rest of you stick by the camp until you know that the cowmen are here; then sail in. There'll likely be some shooting." "Any further instructions?" asked Tad, bunching the reins in his hand preparatory to mounting. "Nothing. That is, unless you find you can rope some more of these cayuses. I'd like to have them all tied up here for a while. I've got a few things to say to them.
And in the same instant Burnett made one leap and flung the door open, crying as he did so: "Betty!" Then Jack, bunching somewhat his starfish attitude, looked across the room and realized instantly that it was all up with him forever after. Because—
Her face was a most perfect book of cleverness, yet she was fair, too, beyond belief, with hair of a lovely ruddiness, cut short in the new fashion, and bunching on her shoulders. And eyes! Gods! who could plumb the depths of Phorenice's eyes, or find in mere tint a trace of their heaven-made colour?
Gone now was his flinching and shrinking as the sharp barbs lacerated his tender flesh. Gone was the calmness that denoted surrender and the acceptance of his fate. With bunching muscles he writhed inch by inch to one side, out of the path of the flow of the acid. He was just in time, for, at his last mighty effort, the consuming fluid flowed past, not an inch from his face.
The boys had spent an active winter, only a few storms ever bunching the cattle, with less than half a dozen contingents crossing the established lines. Even these were followed by our trailers and brought back to their own range; and together with wolfing the time had passed pleasantly.
Triumph here on the very verge of defeat! It misted his eyes. Joy gave wings to his thoughts. He was the master of the valley. "But you'll think before you do anything, Elizabeth?" "I've done my thinking already twenty-four years of it. I'm going to do what I promised I'd do." "And that?" "You'll see and hear in time. What's yonder?" The men were rising, one after another, and bunching together.
But, yelling with fright, Ruloff fended him off; and twisted and writhed out of reach; bunching his feet under him and, in a second, staggering up and racing for the shelter of the nearest tree. Up the low-stretching branches the man swarmed, until he was well out of reach.
"Did you suspect yesterday, Peter?" Alix asked, tasting the sauce, and bunching her fingers immediately afterward to send a rapturous kiss into the air as an indication of its deliciousness. "Yesterday when they went off after the tree, I mean?" "I had my own suspicions!" he returned, and Cherry his little, gay, lovely Cherry! laughed happily.
They were fast bunching immediately in the front of their human enemies. Jack and Mark obeyed the old hunter's order. They poured their fire into the huge, shaggy beast that rose on its hind legs before the sled, and roaring, spread its huge paws abroad ready to seize it and its human burden. Fortunately the wind had suddenly increased as the sleds rounded the wooded point.
In one or two points the situation was modified in their favour, and hence their escape from loss and disaster. A more extended position enabled the infantry to avoid bunching, but in other respects the situation was parallel to that in which they had found themselves a fortnight before.
