That's how busted we were; and there was Hambletonian, twenty miles away, full of money and misguided faith in their team.

Red-Eye himself and Ray Clancy, the pianner-player, and two o' the girls was lost. I got a busted arm and most o' my hair singed off going in after 'em, but 'twarn't no use." "You knew the the girls?" Willa had difficulty in controlling her voice. "Sure I did! Blonde Annie and Miss Violet. Annie was just a a girl like you'd expect, Ma'am, but Miss Violet, she was a regular lady.

A light revealed the fact that our boat, in being rolled bodily up the bank by the gale, had got several of her planks damaged and two of her ribs broken.
We was talkin' over matters the very minute you busted into the door and was satisfied that he had larned he was playin' with fire and had concluded to drop it. We was as big fools as you." It was the parson who now broke in. "Why do we sit here, lamenting that which cannot be helped? Do you mean to give up, captain, and let her go?
She felt his fingers tighten on hers like bands of steel, crushing them together, and she was conscious of a strange joy in the pain of it. "You know you are not!" he said tensely.

And I can't get a word out of Nora. Shuts me up with a bang when I mention it. Throws her nerves all out, she says. I'd like to get my hands on the blackguard." "So would I. It's a puzzle. If he had molested her while she was a captive, you could understand. But he never came near her." "Busted his nerve, that's what." "I have my doubts about that.
"What!" exclaimed Ian, starting and sitting bolt upright, while he gazed in the faces of his two comrades. "Is it true? Have I killed the the grizzly?" "Killed him!" exclaimed Victor, rising; "I should think you have." "Killed 'im!" echoed Rollin. "You's killed 'im two or tree time over; vy, you's axed 'im, stabbed 'im, shotted 'im, busted 'im, squashed 'im ho!

"That hobo was gone when I went to talk to him this morning. The lock was busted. I can't figure it out. Young Lorry stood to win the reward, and he could use the money." "Hear anything by wire?" queried the undersheriff. "Nothing.
And he'd paid the doctor, too, and laughed and said he'd come some day and borry the money back when he got busted playing poker! "And then, all of a sudden, when you'd have thought he was soft that way clean through," she went on, her eyes blazing now at the memory of it, "them Bedloe boys come over lookin' for trouble. An' Buck sure gave it to them!" "Tell me about it," the girl said quickly.
"They're both good shots, all right, and they could have broken that flask from the distance it was broken. But they wouldn't throw a scare into us this way.
