"Why don't you try your 'prentice hand on that buckskin? He's dodged the lariat a dozen times." "Why, that Bucky is a regular rocking-horse, I bet," declared Tom, who, for a city boy, was a pretty good rider. "Get down and ride him, Tommy," urged Sue. "Can't you ride as well as these country boys?" "I never said I could," retorted Tom, doubtfully. "You girls are guying the punchers, too.
And then his old inclination to be always open and frank with her asserted itself and he closed the book and rising stood looking down at her. "The little beast was guying your crowd," he said, "but I do not want him to guy you. Not that he wouldn't try. He has the audacity for anything." A flush arose to her cheeks and her eyes gleamed. "That is not true, Sam," she said coldly.
I just dote on being a Groome, plus Ballinger, plus. And I'm not guying, neither. I'd hate like the mischief to be second rate, no matter what I won later. It must be awful to have to try to get to places that should be yours by divine right, as it were.
"They don't go as far as that," said Chauncey soothingly. "They just guy him a little." "They will stop guying if I hear them," said Lee doggedly. "The boy has every kind of courage that there is and some day will prove it. But never, never if it will distress his mother. He will bear all the slurs and insults in the world rather than hurt her."
Thompson felt some personal pride in his horsemanship, as he was a Pennsylvania fox-hunter. The driver replied, "Yes, sir; you ride all right." "Well, then," said Thompson, "it must be this horse you are guying." The teamster replied: "Guying that horse? Not in a thousand years!" "Well, then, why am I such a conspicuous object?" "Why, sir, are you not the king?" "The king?
Willing enough in one way, and not liking it in another. I'm hard-up, have no clothes, and should cut a sorry figure on such a smart-looking brig as yours when I haven't even a donkey's breakfast to bring aboard if I shipped before the mast. And I'm not the man to stand guying, especially from beauties like those who were here just now."
The tree, by the time the things had been lashed upon its branches, needed propping and guying in every direction. The placing of big, white candles upon it, however, strained the skill and self-control of the men to the last degree.
He was down and out when I met him, and I set him on his feet. I didn't mind what I missed or the other girls guying me I made him laugh and believe he had as good a chance in the world as anyone else. I put a bit of fun into him. I liked the kid. I I like him now. If he wanted a good time to-morrow I'd run round with him again.
The Lakerimmers, however, decided to resist force with force, and stuck by each other so closely, and barricaded their doors so firmly at night, when they must necessarily separate, that time went on without any of them being subjected to any other indignities than the guying of the other Kingstonians.
In fact I think he was cockier; for he took to guying Bill The Hollander in French, with which tongue Bill was only faintly familiar and of which, consequently, he was doubly suspicious.
