Here the fractious near horse was again beginning to show signs of disturbance and active terror.

Nothing was to be seen, the illimitable plain and the sinking sun were all that met the eye.
If I did not believe that you thought me innocent, I could not write as I do now to tell you my wishes. You'll not forget they are the words of a man shortly to die. Dear friend, you must take care of my mother. I don't reckon she'll stay long behind when we are all gone. Be tender with her, Job, for my sake; and if she is a bit fractious at times, remember what she has gone through.
She was startled by a touch, and a lumpish voice, attempted to be softened into an insinuating tone. "I say, Deb, don't take on." She sprung up as if an adder had stung her, and jumped away from him. "Ha! is it you? Dost dare to speak to an honest girl?" "Come, come, don't be fractious, my pretty one," said Diggory, in the amiable tones that had once gained her heart.
Neither could read all the time, games were soon used up, their mates were at school most of the day, and after a week or two the poor children began to get pale and fractious with the confinement, always so irksome to young people. "I do believe the child will fret herself into a fever, mem, and I'm clean distraught to know what to do for her.
We were obliged to leave the river on account of rotten ice, and took to the open plains, where our deers sank to their bellies in the loose snow. The leading animals became fractious, and we were obliged to stop every few minutes, until their paroxysms subsided. I could not perceive that the Lapps themselves exercised much more control over them than we, who were new to the business.
So she sais, 'Ve'y good, Clem yo' all Ah got lef t' mah name, an' so Ah come off. Then afteh while Little Miss she git resty an' tehible fractious an' she go off t' Baltimoah t' teach in th' young ladies' educationals, an' Miss Cahline she still theah waitin' fo' me.
Herse, however, forbid her going on such an expedition till the following day. Dada, who was more irritable and fractious than usual, burst into tears, flung the distaff that her foster-mother put into her hand over the side of the ship, and declared between her sobs that she was not a slave, that she would run away and find happiness wherever it offered.
"Then remember another time not to be fractious!" he said, letting go his hold, "or I'll show you that there is a magistrate." "When Lasse comes, send him up to me with the gin!" he said to the men as he passed through the barn. "The devil we will!" said Mons, in an undertone. Pelle had gone to meet his father. The old man had tasted the purchase, and was in good spirits.
"Yes, I know that, but we must do things decently and in order," he answered soothingly, as one would speak to a fractious child. "That's quite comfortable, isn't it? You'd have had to lean on one of us anyhow, being an invalid. There, the rug over your shoulder so; not a soul will notice it, and we'd go ashore last; we've a compartment reserved on the train, of course."
Keep hold of me, and I'll keep hold of them horses. I'll look out if they jump." For some reason of their own the team became less fractious. He limped along the road, his hand at the bit of the more vicious. She could feel him limp. "You're hurt they did jump on you!" she reiterated. "Knee's busted some, but we'll git along.
