Then he went outside and over to the creek back of the willows to bathe in the fresh running water. Ruel Follett's Way of Business By the time the women were stirring that morning, Follett galloped up on his horse.
Let us now, however, endeavour to point out some of the excellences of Sir William Follett's character; and perhaps the most prominent of them was his admirable temper. Continually in collision with others, on behalf of important interests entrusted to him, and exposed to a thousand trials and provocations that temper, nevertheless, scarce ever failed him.
