"I wonder if he's used to spurs. No English saddle, mind. Give me a good Mexican and a curb bit not too severe, seeing as he likes to rear." Daylight superintended the preparations, adjusting the curb strap and the stirrup length, and doing the cinching. He shook his head at the martingale, but yielded to the dealer's advice and allowed it to go on.
But Craig shook his head lazily, and Wade, cinching his loosened belt, limped with aching legs down the slope. The trainmen were already pulling the smouldering, evil-smelling waste from the box, and after watching a minute he loitered along the track beside the car. Several of the shades were raised and the sight of the gleaming white napery and silver brought a wistful gleam to his eyes.
It's all right for amusement, but the big money is in cinching one deal and pushing hard. It's a bull market now, too; buy A.O.T. is the good word Any Old Thing but I'm going to stay right by my little line." "You certainly have a genius fur finance," declared Uncle Peter, with fervent admiration. "This going into business will be the makin' of you.

"Read that. Vanamee just brought it." He handed Annixter a sheet of note paper, and turned again to the cinching of his saddle. "We've got to be quick," he cried. "They've stolen a march on us."
"It sure looms up like that on the surface," he admitted ruefully. "But I didn't have a hand in cinching you this way." "You could have proved that by staying away. I wrote you a year ago that I'd donate you a half-interest in the Three Bar at the expiration of the time if you'd only keep off the place. But at the last moment you couldn't resist having it all.
The result was that it took two hours to run up the bunch of ponies and another half-hour to cut out, rope, and saddle the three that were wanted. Throughout the process Reilly sat on the fence and scowled. Leroy, making an end of slapping on and cinching the last saddle, wheeled suddenly on the Irishman. "What's the matter, Reilly?" "Was I saying anything was the matter?"

"You can cinch me as tight as you please, but if I smile ten days from now will you give the Bull Durham to Morrell and Oppenheimer?" "You are mighty sure of yourself," he retorted. "That's why I made the proposition," I replied. "Getting religion, eh?" he sneered.
