But, really, wasn't it all delightful? Did you ever see such riding, and shooting, and lassoing?" "No. But I have never lived in a country where it is done. I have always understood that cowboys were proficient along those lines, but why shouldn't they be? It's their business " "There you go reducing everything to terms of business! Can't you see the romance of it what it stands for?

Our neighbors were quite interesting to watch, and we were pleased with the simplicity of their lives. They had no apparent means of support, unless it might be lassoing and taming some wild mustangs, which they were sometimes engaged in doing; but this seemed to be more of a recreation than a business with them. They were never harassed nor hurried about any thing.
