I kind o' calc'late 't won't pay to take the cretur's shoes 'n' hide off to-night, 'n' the' won't be much iron on that hose's huffs an haour after daylight, I'll bate ye a quarter." "I'll walk along with you," said Mr. Bernard; "I feel as if I could get along well enough now." So they set off together.
The horses have been hard bitted; their high huffs and heads drawed dretful hard at the bit held in her weak grasp, and she has been kicked a good deal by their sharp huffs. On the two off horses there wuz two figgers a-holdin' up high gorgeous banners; of course they wuz men, and of course they wuz ridin'. Three men a-ridin' and two wimmen a-walkin' afoot; it didn't seem right.

All that anyone knew surely was that some one of the three original owners or some unsuspected party outside had bought in and sequestered the almost valueless stock and was patiently biding his time. Since the Huffs did not own the stock themselves they knew for a certainty that it was held by either Holman or Blount.
So she, too, waited patiently, to foil his machinations and uphold the honor of the Huffs. In the good old days it had never been forgotten that the Huffs belonged to the Virginia quality, while the Holmans came from Maine; hence the Colonel's relations with Honest John Holman had at first been strictly business.
"Yes, that may be very true; but we do not care enough for His Satanic Majesty in the colony of New York, to treat him with so much deference. As for the 'huffs, as you call them " "Why, what do you call 'em, Mr. Littlepage?" "Hoofs, Mr. Newcome; that is the New York pronunciation of the word." "I care nothing for York pronunciation, which everybody knows is Dutch and full of corruptions.
Whether she loved him or not was not the question not even if she was willing to throw away her life by following him in his wanderings. Three times he had trusted her and three times she had played him false and was that the honor of the Huffs?
In your young days, you were dependent on the support of your old father, so that eating and drinking became quite a habit with you; that's how, at the present time, your resources are quite uncertain; when you had money, you looked ahead, and didn't mind behind; and now that you have no money, you blindly fly into huffs. A fine fellow and a capital hero you have made!
Ole mis', she done wake up and mean to go out to Syd'n'am dis day," urged Peter. "Who dis hoss an' kyart in de shed? Who make dese track wid huffs jus' now, like dey done ride by? Yo' go git somebody fo' me, or she be right mad, shore."
Jenny Hitchcock, and the Huffs, and the Dennisons and others, came now and then; but Ellen did not like to see any of them all but Mrs. Vawse. Alice longed for her brother. He came at last, just before New Year. It was the middle of a fine afternoon, and Alice and her father had gone in the sleigh to Carra-carra.
