"I'm sore and stiff from so much saddle riding. I'm not used to it." "Oh, you'll limber up soon," said Hank, cheerfully. "Now, if you boys will get the water, and break out the grub, I'll get supper. It'll soon be dark."
One of the Gardner guns had been overturned into the limber containing its ammunition, and set fire to. This kept burning, hissing, and firing shots like a gigantic and malevolent cracker for a long time. But the Blue Jackets recovered the gun.
I was sitting on the right hand side of the limber close to the wheel and, before long, the effort to think and hold on at the same time was too much for me, and I fell into a fairly sound sleep, Sergeant Johnson, my companion, doing likewise. While dozing, the string from the end of the cape engaged itself with the axle, wound itself round and round and started pulling me down.
He saw that though Barlow had once more command of his features, there was still a feverish gleam in his eyes. And, further, that with rising impatience Barlow was waiting for him. "Come alive, Twisty, old mate," Kendric called to him. "Limber up and give us a good old deep-sea chantey!" Twisty stood where he was, eyeing him curiously. "I want to talk to you, Jim," he said.
"It is a pity we can not remain, general. This is an excellent position." And he gave the order to limber up. The operation was performed amid a hurricane of bullets, striking down the cannoneers. Suddenly a column of Federal cavalry charged straight at the guns. Davenant met them with his mounted men, armed with sabres, and a stubborn combat followed.

Sheila quickly learned the trick and plodded with bent knees, limber ankles, and wide-apart feet through the winter miracle of the woods. It was another revelation of pure beauty, but her heart was too sore to hold the splendor as it had held the gentler beauty of summer and autumn. Besides, little by little she was aware of a vague, encompassing uneasiness.

There is a life-size marble relief of Shri 108, S.B.S. in the garden. It represents him in this same posture. Dear me! It is a strange world. Particularly the Indian division of it.
She tells ye to come, an' ye come smilin'; and then she tells ye to go, an' ye go smilin'; and then she winds ye 'round her finger, and ye feel as limber an' as willin' as if ye was a whip-lash, an' hadn't nothin' else to do." "Nevertheless, I shall stay with you, Jim."
