"Eddy Horncastle? Ah! yes. Eddy, dear child, is gone." "Gone!" shouted Steptoe in a voice that startled the padre. "Where? When? With whom?" "Pardon, senor, but for a time only a pasear to the next village. It is his saint's day he has half-holiday. He is a good boy. It is a little pleasure for him and for us." "Oh!" said Steptoe, softened into a rough apology. "I forgot. All right.
Want to take a little pasear with me?" "Suits me, Jim." "Come on, then." They mounted and rode side by side across the noon mesa. The ponies stepped briskly. The air was like a song. Far away the blue hills invited exploration of their timbered and mysterious silences. "Makes a fella feel like forgettin' everything and everybody but jest this," said Pete, gesturing toward the ranges.
"Strange I ain't got to see her yet," she replied coolly, shouldering her parcel, and quite ignoring any sense of obligation to him for his extra-official act. "But you might get to see her at the edge of the Gin and Ginger Woods," he persisted feebly, in a last effort to detain her; "if you'll take a pasear there with me."
He let his hand rest quite unconsciously on the leathern holster of his dragoon revolver, yet with a strong suggestion to me of his ability "to make the riffle" if he wanted to, and added: "But just now I was reck'nin' on taking a little pasear with you."
He did not regret the untasted liquor; here was an experience in after years to lean his back against comfortably in bar-rooms, to entrance or defy mankind. He had even got so far as to formulate in fancy the sentence: "I remember, gentlemen, that one afternoon, being on a pasear with two fash'nable young ladies," etc., etc.
You've got me dead to rights again." His very nonchalance disarmed her. What could she do while his low laughter mocked her? "When you've gone through me complete I think I'll take a little pasear over the hill and have a look at your hawss. Mebbe we might still do business." As he had anticipated, his suggestion filled her with alarm. She flew to bar the way. "You can't go. It isn't necessary."
"I believe I'll just step over and see if I can't get a quarter of venison for those folks." "Shore," said McKinney, "I'll go along. No, I won't; I'll take a pasear acrost the street and have a look at a little stuff I brung up from the ranch yesterday." "No Christmas," said Curly, staring ahead of himself into the tobacco smoke, and indulging in a rare soliloquy.
"I reckon," said Brace dubiously; "I don't know but I'd take a little pasear into the town if I had my horse ready." "Take mine, and I'll trapse over on foot to the Ranche with Crosby after a spell. You'll find him under that big madrono, if he has not already wound himself up with his lariat by walking round it.
"If you have any doubts about hell," said Cave to Miller, as the latter rode by, "just take a little pasear through that thicket once and you'll come out a defender of the faith."
So you kin be wearin' that ar headstall kinder like this evening when the contractor's here, ez if you'd jest come in from a pasear." Miss Rosey did not however immediately avail herself of her father's purchase, but contented herself with the usual scarlet ribbon that like a snood confined her brown hair, when she returned to her tasks.
