Unpleasant, of course, but, as Anatole would say, I can take a few smooths with a rough. The next moment she was legging it for the dining-room, while I, having bunged the bicycle into a bush, made for the stairs. I need not dwell upon my buckedness. It can be readily imagined.
It's all Edith Edith Edith." "And he is engaged to Miss Smyth?" Weston struck his legging a sharp blow with his stick. "Confound it!" he cried, "I can't get it out of my head that our book-keeper's name is Smyth." "But Tim knows, surely," said I. "Yes he must," answered Weston. "Of course I'm wrong. But this Miss Parker are they engaged?" "I can't tell from his last letter," I replied.
"Now remember, don't play, but hurry home," said Miss Davis, when the last legging was buttoned and all the mittens were matched. Perry Phelps lost one of his mittens regularly every day and Miss Davis always had to find it for him. "Don't stop to play in the snow till you have been home and had your lunch. You'll have the whole afternoon to play in."
Pinned under the heavy, glowing mass of metal, his body must already have been roasted to a char. The head could not be seen; but part of one shoulder and one arm protruded, with the coat burned off and the flesh horribly crackled; while, nearer Gabriel, a leg showed, with a regulation chauffeur's legging, also burned to a crisp. "Nothing for me to do, here," said Gabriel aloud.
The worn old saddles were deftly set, the crude buckles of the old days, long since replaced by cincha loop, snapped into place; lariats coiled and swung from the cantle-rings; dusty old bits and bridles adjusted; then came the slipping into carbine-slings and thimble-belts, the quick lacing of Indian moccasin or canvas legging, the filling of canteens in the tepid tanks below, while all the time the cooks and packers were flying about gathering up the pots and pans and storing rations, bags, and blankets on the roomy apparejos.
At last he stopped eating, gave his hunting-knife a turn or two over his legging, replaced it in its sheath, and looking up, said "Well, friends, you've saved my life; I've to thankyou for that not that I know that it is worth much; and now I guess you'd like to know where I come from, and what I've been about." We all told him that we should particularly like to hear something about him.
I'll bet if every one of the herders had escaped instead of festering there in the ash heap, they'd all be legging it out of the country far and fast as they could go." The little mule came to a stand at a bend in the switch back; and the old evangelist sat ruminating silently on his broncho. "Y' have a sheriff?" Wayland laughed. "He's like the Indian flies; a no-see-him.
Another 'legging' would kill me, but if I cannot get a living at hawking I will be forced to go on the 'cross, and 'God help the man that tries to catch me. These places are getting so hot that a fellow had better commit murder and be 'topt' at once." "If you had a safe where would you place it to be most secure?" "In the street, and then your servants couldn't put you away."
He loses his head; distracted he pulls the levers, and, behold, in a moment the thing is irrevocably done; we are a coward legging it down the street, a murderer with bloody hand, a liar with false words suddenly pumped. A moment later the driver is calm and aghast at the ruin he has contrived. Why, before God, did he pull the leg lever? the arm lever? the tongue lever?
The fugitive, travelling a straight course, had crossed the field at its narrowest point and had bounded into the fringe of greenery bordering the little lake, heading apparently for the thick swampy place lying between the ball ground and the golf links. The two pursuers, legging along behind, did their best to keep him in sight, but, one thing sure, they were not gaining on him.
