"About two years ago," Rand said. "Stephen had just gotten a cased dueling set by Wilkinson, then. From the Far West Hobby Shop, I think." "Oh, he's gotten a lot of new stuff since then, and sold off about a dozen culls and duplicates," the former Marine said. "I'll show you what's new, till the others come."
"Boys, they're just the finest ever! Some whoppers out here, too. No 'coon oyster about that chap," and he held up one that was half again as large as his hand. Now and then, as he worked, they could see him stop to try an extra fat-looking fellow. When this had been repeated a dozen times, Will reproached him. "Where do we come in? Do we get the culls?" he demanded.
I have read every book there is in that cottage. I walked on. He did not leave me. I thought he ought to. But he didn't. He didn't seem to notice that I would not talk to him." She was now perfectly still. The wretched little parasol hung down against her dress from her joined hands. I was rigid with attention. It isn't every day that one culls such a volunteered tale on a girl's lips.
"You'd better start on, Bud, so as to noon at the Little Elm water-hole. Tell Barber we'll have another lot of culls ready in about a month." Bud allowed a hesitating eye to steal upward and meet Webb's. Webb saw apology in his look, and fancied he saw commiseration. "You deliver them cattle," he said grimly, "to " "Barber," finished Santa sharply. "Let that settle it.
But Caracalla laughed to himself, and went on cheerfully: "Yes, it is dangerous work, no doubt; and for that reason I pledged my word as Caesar not to require him to pay for the sins of others. On the contrary, he is free, if the posy he culls for me is sufficient." "Ay," said Alexander, on whom his sister's white face and warning looks were having effect.
True, those steers were not exactly prime beef, he had caught the culls only, late in the season for these scenes but they passed, with one audible comment that this was a poor season for beef! "We rounded 'em up and we put 'em in the cars " The sub-title sang itself familiarly into the minds of the range men.
While we were looking them over, Solly divested himself of a fearful, rusty kind of laugh like moving a folding bed with one roller broken. It was his first in two weeks, and it gave me hope. "'Right you are, says I. 'They're a funny lot of post-cards, aren't they? "'Oh, I wasn't thinking of them dudes and culls on the hoof, says he.
I then cull the worst of the different lots, feeding the culls and wintering the tops. By this method I secure a lot of wintering cattle for the great Christmas market of the ensuing year, without one bad or indifferent beast among them. The price I have obtained for several years, with the exception of the culls of my winterers, has been £35 a-head.
They intend using their share of the collection, plus such culls and duplicates as the rest of us can consign to them, to go into the arms business, with a general-antique sideline, which Karen can manage while Pierre's writing.... Tell you what; I'll call a meeting at my place tomorrow evening, say at eight thirty. That suit you?" That, Rand agreed, would be all right.
Having spent a dollar for six steamed crabs a few nights before, he was also amazed to hear the crabber report that he received only six dollars a bushel for "jumbo" crabs and three dollars a bushel for "culls," or medium ones. All under four and a half inches from tip to tip were thrown back.
