I came in to supper hungry, weary, footsore, sunburnt, dirty, happier, in short, than I have been for a twelvemonth. And now for the victories of the brush! June 11th. Another day afoot and also afloat. I resolved this morning to leave this abominable little tavern. I can't stand my feather-bed another night. I determined to find some other prospect than the town-pump and the "drug-store."
What the poet calls "the golden exhalations of the dawn" began to warm the gray of the plain. The sun was in the roots of the grass. Four miles away the lights of Larned twinkled. The only blot on a fair landscape was the mule in the middle distance. But there was a wicked gleam in the eye of the footsore young man in the foreground. Boom! The sunrise gun at the fort.
Leaving Eaton's battalion, the artillery, and the footsore men of the legion, to follow more slowly, Lee mounted a detachment of infantry behind his dragoons, and made a forced march to Fort Galphin. This point he reached on the 21st of May, 1781.
That poor, brave, foolish Rosalie that was! Did she protest, that foolish girl, that she was right in what had been her attitude to love? Did she with would-be bitterness recall those views laid down upon the women in the boarding house that they were derelicts precisely through this love business, abandoned of men, relict of men, footsore and fallen in pursuit of men?
We remained here till the 6th, when we started on our journey again, passed through London, and, tired and footsore, arrived on the north side of Cumberland Gap, a distance of fifty-six miles, on the 10th, just as the sun was setting behind the western hills; having for supper only the crumbs of our morning meal.
He was struggling, struggling with his body of lead for one step just a step nearer the great curtain, that now glowed warm red red as the ghost of her cardinal-flower lips pillars of light, as of the halls of heaven. "Aurore! Aurore!" By L.H. ROBBINS From Everybody's Jacob Downey waited in line at the meat shop. A footsore little man was he.
For five days he toiled footsore and weary through the defiles which he had already traversed on horseback. At night he flung himself down among the rocks, and snatched a few hours of sleep; but before daybreak he was always well on his way. On the sixth day, he reached the Eagle Cañon, from which they had commenced their ill-fated flight. Thence he could look down upon the home of the saints.
So back we rode, the dogs a trifle footsore, for they had covered many a mile in their ranging. Tom had shoes for them to wear when they are very lame at the first of the season. Later on, their feet become tough and need no protection. So we arrived back at the ranch empty-handed. Next day we rested, and rain fell. The day following we again tried a hunt and again failed to strike a hot track.
It overcame me so that I sobbed; for, after all, though big in body, I am but a child at heart. It was not the five pounds that moved me, but the way of giving it; and after so much bitter talk, the great trust in my goodness. It was the beginning of wheat-harvest, when I came to Dunster town, having walked all the way from London, and being somewhat footsore.
He was tired and footsore; in addition to the English five-pound note, he possessed but very little of the money with which he had left the circus; though, during his tramp, he had been able to get an occasional job, helping some herdsman rounding up his cattle or assisting timbermen to adjust their loads, and he was hoping that he would find some permanent employment in one of the big towns.
