"From the moment I saw you tie the janitor to the hitching-post. You remember I was waiting to go riding with Mr. Bromfield. Well, I was bored to death with correct clothes and manners and thinking. I knew just what he would say to me and how he would say it and what I would answer. Then you walked into the picture and took me back to nature." "It was the hitching-post that did it, then?"
Then he lunged through the doorway of the reception-room; but at the door opening on the street his courage gave way, and hunched up like one in pain, he ran towards the hitching-post where he had left his horses and wagon. They were not there.
She was suddenly silent then, staring out ahead, her hands clutching the chair-arms. To her inflamed fancy, it was as if, beyond the hedge, the old disused hitching-post had become incarnate and, in the form of her naive and horned conception, was coming toward her with the whites of his eyes bloodshot.
Nearly everything in the circus, with the exception of the side-shows, had to take part in the parade. Only the small boy, who stands upon the pavement, holding to lamp-post or iron hitching-post to steady himself in the wild excitement, can tell you how his heart races and his blood leaps as the first gilded chariot swings around the corner into the main street.
Just beyond the enclosing hedge, a motor-car drew up, honking, at the curb, two far-flung paths of light whitening the street and a disused iron negro-boy hitching-post. Miss Goldstone reared back. "That's him!" "Effie!" "Let me go, dearie; let me go!" "But, Effie "

"Who is that woman, Olivia?" asked Mrs. Ochiltree abruptly, with signs of agitation.
In the meantime he wanted to be among those present while the process of taming the wild man took place. Long before the cowpuncher had finished his story of hog-tying the Swede to a hitching-post with his own hose, the mining man was sealed of the large tribe of Clay Lindsay's admirers. He was ready to hide him from all the police in New York.
He'll show you where your friend made his New York debut. That's all we can do for you." An hour later the little cowpuncher was gazing wistfully at the hitching-post. His face was twisted pathetically to a question mark. It was as though he thought he could conjure from the post the secret of Clay's disappearance. Where had he gone from here? And where was he now?
"I wasn't going to say that," Vickers interrupted. "But," continued Isabelle, with rising intensity, "you know that has nothing to do with happiness.... One might as well be married to a hitching-post as to John. Women simply don't count in his life. Sometimes I wish they did that he would make me jealous!
'It isn't so very wonderful, said Polly, nonchalantly 'the most ordinary people can learn it; why! your brother Jack can lasso almost as well as a Mexican. 'And I can "lass" any stationary object myself, cried Bell; 'a hitching-post, or even a door-knob; I can do it two or three times out of ten.
