It was not because of crime that "He buckles up his talk like the bellyband on a broncho," as Malachi Deely, the exile from Tralee, said of him; and Deely was a man of "horse-sense," no doubt because he was a horse-doctor "a veterenny surgeon," as his friends called him when they wished to flatter him.
With him were Clancey Dempster, small and mild of manner, blue-eyed, the last man in the room one would have picked for great stamina and courage, yet playing one of the leading roles in this crisis; the merchant Truett, towering above all the rest; Farwell, direct, uncompromising, inspired with tremendous single-minded earnestness; James Dows, of the rough and ready, humorous, blasphemous, horse-sense type; Hossefross, of the Committee of '51; Dr.
Our pack-horse, Shoshone, got between two trees. His head could pass but his pack couldn't, and there he stood struggling to pull through. He couldn't do it, but stupidly he would not back up.

From there two days would find you in Halifax and two more in New York, so that you would be always near good care and advice. With a little care and prudence in regard to your leg I am sure that you can reach home quite safely. With kindest regards, Very sincerely yours, JOHN GRANT. I stared at Daddy, hardly knowing what to say. "That boy has a lot of good sound horse-sense!" he exclaimed.
"Now I know what's going on here at this table," he growled savagely, "and I want you two to cut it out. Like most of the other damned fools that come up here and waste their money and my time, he thinks I'm playing some cute game with him tag or something that will let him show how much cuter he is than I am. And he's supposed to be a writer and have a little horse-sense!

Carpenter shook his head. "Don't know anybody there?" asked Travis. "I thought so just what I want." He went on indifferently, but Carpenter saw that he was measuring his words and noting their effect upon himself.
"I didn't say he could PAINT; I said he knew how to earn $4,000 in three months painting portraits." "He never painted a portrait worth four cents. Why, I knew " "Dry up, Munson!" interrupted Jack. "Go on, Waller, tell us how he did it." "By using some horse-sense and a little tact; getting in with the procession and bolding his cud up," retorted Waller, in a solemn tone. "Give him room!

"I am sweating through my coat." "But don't leave my horse half a day tied to a post any animal with horse-sense would kick." "As if I ever did but when the ladies keep me waiting. Heard the good news?
I was convinced that they regarded me as a frost. The same with Perry Potter, a grizzled little man with long, ragged beard and gray eyes that looked through you and away beyond. I had a feeling that dad had told him to keep an eye on me and report any incipient growth of horse-sense. I may have wronged him and dad, but that is how I felt, and I didn't like him any better for it.
All the way home grandmother and Jake talked about how easily good Christian people could forget they were their brothers’ keepers. “I will say, Jake, some of our brothers and sisters are hard to keep.
