Can you get a good buckboard?" "Why, yes, of course I can. Carson says I can have his double-harness buckboard any time, ponies and all." "Good! Just the thing. I want to go out to Bylow's Corner to make a call, and maybe farther, if we can manage. I'll be ready by the time you are here with the rig." She went to her desk and wrote a note to her father. Somehow, mother didn't seem to count.
Say, he's got his eye on one of you girls. Not you, by any chance, is it, Lenora?" Lenora laughed across at Laura, who had turned a little pink. "I guess French has got sense enough to know I'm not that sort," the latter replied. "The double-harness stuff doesn't appeal to me, and he knows it!" Lenora made a little grimace as she turned away. "Well," she said, "it's brave talk."
I've seen a few turned off before, but never one who went to the gallows in this condition. 'Can't tell how it affects 'em, though. It's the thoroughbreds that sweat when they're backed into double-harness.-And that's the man who went through the guns at Amdheran like a devil possessed of devils.
It shies a good deal at gnats, I own; but it can run in double-harness with a camel, if worldly considerations render such a course desirable. It is like a horse we once had, which always shied violently at every puddle, but went past a steamroller without turning a hair." "'By my troth, niece, thou wilt never get thee a husband if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue," quoted Christopher.

She's a power too white for him, herself, but he uses her and some day he'll kill her. You're not the fust gudgeon she's hooked, to feed to him. Why, she's known all back down the line. They two have been followin' end o' track from North Platte, along with Hell on Wheels. Had a layout in Omyha, and in Denver. They're not the only double-harness outfit hyar, either.
I never thought of it before which goes to show that this double-harness business puts a different face on 'most everything. But I'm going to remedy that. Of course, it may be twenty years before this country begins to settle up enough so that some individual may cast a covetous eye on this particular spot but I'm not going to take any chances.
Now, if I were to send you, and along with you a good, level-headed man like Moody " "I have had enough of double-harness work, unless I am commanded to go, Mr. MacGregor," interrupted Philip. "I realize that DeBar is a dangerous man, but I believe that I can bring him down. Will you give me the opportunity?"
