And as though in a dream, yet distinct clear as though he had spoken himself came the words: "It is enough!" "Not this journey," said Waring. The Mexican youth gazed at him wonderingly. Was the gringo mad? Waring holstered his gun with a jerk. "Get up on your hind legs and quit that glory stuff! We ride north," he growled. José Vaca
The old man shook out the smoldering tow, blew it into flame, and lit a candle from it, offering the light to Altamont. Loudons got out a cigar and lit it from the candle; the others filled and lighted pipes. The Toon Leader reprimed his pistol, then holstered it, took off his belt and laid it aside, an example the others followed.
Get your paws up, for I'm goin' to thrash you so bad that your own mother won't know you if she's so misfortunate as to be alive to look at you! After that, you're goin' to hit the breeze out of this country, an' if I ever lay eyes on you ag'in I'll go gunnin' for you!" While he had been speaking he had holstered the pistol, unstrapped his cartridge belt and let guns and belt fall to the ground.
What in thunder is it all about?" "We'll talk later. Now you got to get started." Bull waved to the door. Pete Reeve darted past him with noiseless steps and paused a moment at the threshold of the jail. Plainly he was ready for fight or flight, and his right hand was toying constantly with the holstered butt of his gun. Bull followed to the outside. "Hosses?" asked the little man curtly.
He backed into the shadow-shade of a tree and sat tense, with Colt in hand. A horse nickered. There was the whirr of wheels. Drew edged Shawnee out of cover and then quickly holstered his weapon, riding out to bring to a halt the carriage horse between the shafts of an English dogcart. He pulled off his dust-grayed hat. "Good mornin', Aunt Marianna."
His demoralization was completed when the Sandeman said, "Good shooting, Ranger Medart. Do you want that last one, or may I take him?" "Neither," Medart replied. "He's hers give me a hand with Kennard." "Yes, sir." Nevan holstered his blaster, and the two men went to kneel by the fallen Ranger. Corina stopped in front of her former teacher. "You have seen and felt the truth, Thark.
He made an eye-baffling practice draw with the stun-pistol, then holstered it and started down the spiral stairway to the office below. There was the usual mass of papers on his desk. A corps of secretaries had screened out everything but what required his own personal and immediate attention, but the business of guiding a world could only be reduced to a certain point.
Cogswell chirped, "Now that he's broken the ice, in a couple of hours kids will be scratching their names on our hull." In the morning, two or three hours after dawn, they made their preparations to disembark. Of them all, only Leonid Plekhanov was unarmed. Joe Chessman had a heavy handgun holstered at his waist. The rest of the men carried submachine guns.
Our horses were ready, my pistols holstered, and my valise strapped to Michelot's saddle. Despite the desperate outlook of my fortunes, of which I had made him fully cognisant, he insisted upon clinging to me, reminding me that at Rocroi I had saved his life and that he would leave me only when I bade him go.
There was another pistol under the dead man's coat, in a shoulder-holster; a queer thing with a thick round barrel, like an old percussion pepper-box, and a diaphragm instead of a muzzle. Probably projected ultrasonic waves. He holstered his own Colt and pocketed the unknown weapon. There was a black plastileather-bound notebook. It was full of notes.
