Not the seventeen hands that the hotel proprietor had described to Bull, but a full sixteen three, and so proudly high-headed, so stout-muscled of body, so magnificently long and tapering of leg, that a wiser horseman than the hotelkeeper might have put Diablo down for more than seventeen hands.
The Major's brow cleared as Jasper Toomey swung round the corner by the Prouty House and clattered down the main street sitting high-headed and arrogant in a Brewster cart. Spent money like a prince he did. A few more people like the Toomeys and the future of the country was assured.
And when I object, and try to save you from yourself, and offer you a good home where you will be cared for all the rest of your days, right among your own, where mother would have wanted to see you, you will probably get high-headed, and say I am interfering with your rights. But I can't help it. I've got to speak.
"Yes every thing is gloomy now. The devil of high-headed obstinacy and incompetence rules affairs. I do not croak in the Examiner newspaper. But we are going straight to the devil." As he uttered these words, he placed his hand upon his breast, and closed his eyes, as though he were going to faint. "What is the matter?" I exclaimed, rising abruptly, and approaching him.
And so Miss Bobbet told her, and Miss Gowdy, and Miss Peedick, and all the rest. She acted so high-headed about it, that we said it some to take down her pride, and some on principle.

"Kinder high-headed, ain't he?" ventured Creede, as the sorrel rolled his eyes and snorted. "That's right," assented Hardy, "he's only been broke about a month. I got him over in the Sulphur Springs Valley." "I knowed it," said the cowboy sagely, "one of them wire-grass horses an' I bet he can travel, too. Did you ride him all the way here?"
And so it was still, for the Widow Huff remained; but across the front of the hospitable gallery where the Colonel had entertained the town, a cheap cloth sign announced meals fifty cents and Virginia, his daughter, was the waiter. She stood by the sign, still high-headed and patrician, and when the driver of the car saw her he came to a sudden stop.
I'm goin' to rope the pinto for Barbie, but I wouldn't do it for you, an' when I get back I'll call around for what's comin' to me." "Well, go an' be hanged! You always was the most obstinate, high-headed, bull-intellected thin-skin 'at ever drew down top wages for punchin' cows. You're nothin' more than a kid, an' yet you swell around an' expect a man "
Some pretty high-headed fillies among 'em, too." Bronco Benny knew no other language than that of the horse world in which he lived. Not only dirt farmers but many others became sodbreakers.
