I have looked at the city from the water and islands from the city, but I can see nothing that recalls the times gone by, except the venerable Mission, the ruinous Presidio, the high hills in the rear of the town, and the great stretches of the bay in all directions. To-day I took a California horse of the old style, the run, the loping gait, and visited the Presidio.
Everything seemed to ache the munching cows in the Trumbull pasture, the cats on the doorsteps, the dog loping along beside the stage, the stage driver's stooping old back. Aunt Olivia was going to the city Rebecca Mary wasn't going to the city. There was no room in the world for anything but that and the ache. Rebecca Mary's indignation was not born till night.
"He's our doctor I told you the other day ... But he doesn't bite, my dear! You look as if I'd said that a grizzly bear and three mad ogres were loping down the steps." "I never think of him as a doctor somehow," said Cally, recovering, with a little laugh. "So I couldn't imagine " "Second largest practice in town only I'll admit that his not charging any fees has something to do with it.
But when Doctor Grace said, fervently, "That sounds good!" all admitted the excellence of Parson Tombs's suggestion. About three in the afternoon on the last day of the year John March was in the saddle loping down from Widewood. He was thinking of one of the most serious obstacles to the furtherance of his enterprise: the stubborn hostility of the Sandstone County mountaineers.
Had there been several ponies coursing ahead of him, he would not have found it so hard to understand matters, for he would have concluded that they were an independent party, making all haste to reach some point, but he could not read the meaning of a single warrior speeding in this fashion. "Whoever he was he lost no time," mused Warren, breaking into a loping trot, for his own haste was great.
A timber wolf, gray and gaunt, came loping along with lowered nose. A new scent brought the animal to a standstill. His nose went up, his fiery eyes scanned the plain. Two men had invaded his domain, and, with a short, dismal bark, he dashed away. Like spectres, gliding swiftly with noiseless tread, the two vanished. The long grass had swallowed them. Deserted once again seemed the plain.
He had taken scarcely a dozen steps when he struck into a long, loping trot, not particularly rapid in itself, but of such a character that it could be kept for hours at a stretch. It was the genuine Indian dog trot, which is so effective in long distances. As the runner went along in this fashion, his thoughts were busy, and all his senses on the alert.
I wanted nothing to eat; not even a cup of coffee to drink. To find conveyance to the inn was not an easy task. No one wanted to take the drive. Finally I secured a horse. There was no haggling over the price. And soon I was loping through the snowdrifts in the direction of the old inn.
Certain that he would find him sooner or later, Fred resorted again to his loping trot, which he could keep up for several hours without great fatigue.
I'd shore look nice loping around a keno layout without my guns, in th' same town with some cuss huntin' me, wouldn't I? A whole lot of good a marshal would a done Jimmy, an' didn't Harris get his from a cur in th' dark?" shouted Hopalong, angered by the prospect. "We're talkin' about Buffalo, where everybody has to hang up their guns," replied Buck. "An' there's th' law "
