He was as lean-loined and lithe as a panther, and his stride ate up the miles as easily. They nooned at a spring in the dry wash of Bronco Creek. After he had unsaddled and picketed he condescended to explain to her. "We'll stay here three hours or mebbe four through the heat of the day." "Is it far now?" she asked wearily. "Not more than seven miles I should judge. Are you about all in?"
"Not if I love you and you love me. By God, I trample down everything that comes between us." He swung to a sitting position on the lounge. Through the steel-gray eyes in the brooding face his masterful spirit wrestled with hers. A lean-loined Samson, with broad, powerful shoulders and deep chest, he dominated his world ruthlessly. But this slim Irish girl with the young, lissom body held her own.
The first rider was straight, tall, and wide-shouldered; also he was deep-chested and lean-loined, forty-five or thereabout, and had "Texan" written all over his weather-beaten face and costume. At sight of him Steve gave a silent whoop of joy. Also, he carried on his face and in his bearing the look of reckless competence that comes only from death faced in the open fearlessly and often.
As for taking the next boat, Elliot did not even give that consideration. "Tell your master I don't take orders from him," he told Wally quietly. "I'll stay till my work here is done." They had moved a few yards down the street. Now Gordon turned, lean-loined and active, and trod with crisp, confident step back to the hotel. He had said all that was necessary to say.
In years of intimacy, I never once saw on his lips the faintest hint of a smile. He had tremendous breadth of shoulders and depth of chest; he was big-boned, lean-loined, quick and furtive of movement as a panther. In short, Captain Jim was altogether the most fearsome-looking man I ever saw, the very incarnation of a relentless, inexorable, indomitable, avenging Nemesis.
Judged by his clothes, he was one of the world's ineffectives, flotsam tossed into the desert by the wash of fate; but there was that in the steadiness of his eye, in the set of his shoulders, in the carriage of his lean-loined, slim body that spoke of breeding. He was no booze-fighting grubliner. Disguised though he was in cheap slops, she judged him a man of parts.
The camera man, an alert, boyish fellow as thin as a lath, turned and grinned. Harrison was sitting up a little unsteadily. Burning black eyes, set in sockets of extraordinary depths, blazed from a face sinister enough to justify Steve's impression of him as a villain. The shoulders of the man were very broad and set with the gorilla hunch; he was deep-chested and lean-loined.
He was lean-loined and broad-shouldered. The long, flowing muscles rippled under his skin when he moved like those of a panther. From beneath the band of his pinched-in hat crisp, reddish hair escaped. Wild Fire was off the instant his feet found the stirrups. Again the outlaw went through its bag of tricks and its straight bucking.
