'You know we're off the track again! said Vasili Andreevich. 'How's that? 'Why, there are no way-marks to be seen. We must have got off the road again. 'Well, if we've lost the road we must find it, said Nikita curtly, and getting out and stepping lightly on his pigeon-toed feet he started once more going about on the snow.
"The gawbbler?" faltered the amazed old man. "Naw; him, him Kittredge," said Tim, jerking his big thumb in the direction of the small boy. "Law-dy Gawd A'mighty! naw! naw!" The grandfather indignantly repudiated the imputation of the infirmity. One would have imagined that he would deem it meet that a Kittredge should be pigeon-toed.
It's worth his while, even then, for the sake of watching that pigeon-toed cockney in the oilskins, him as is stubbing his toes in the sand, this blessed minute." "Shut up, Paddy," his victim retorted hotly. "It's you that should shut up and teach the toes of you to walk hushlike. If you go on like this, you living watchman's rattle, the Boers can hear you, clear up in the Transvaal.
Their pathways are not more than a foot wide, which to a European is most painful; but as the natives invariably walk with the feet turned in, or pigeon-toed, they feel no inconvenience from the narrowness. When a traveller is once on the path, it is impossible for him to go astray. We proceeded for many miles in this unsocial manner; unsocial, for it precludes all conversation.
The rest of his clothes were in keeping. 'He did not walk cunningly Indian-like but cautiously and firmly. His tread was even and strong. He was a little pigeon-toed; and this, with another peculiarity, made his walk very singular. He set his whole foot flat on the ground, and in turn lifted it all at once not resting momentarily upon the toe as the foot rose nor upon the heel as it fell.
There was no choice. Hollister let go the bridle and ran. Scarcely fifty yards behind them came the Utes. Even in their high-heeled boots the cowpunchers ran fast. Once within the shelter of the willows they turned and opened fire. This quite altered the situation. The foremost brave faltered in his pigeon-toed stride, stopped abruptly, and dived for the shelter of a sagebush.
"Judging by my footsteps I must be a pigeon-toed blighter," soliloquised Wilmshurst, as he noted the turned-in prints in the soft ground. "I must look out to that, or I'll give the show away." On and on he went, making his way from one point of cover to another, yet without seeing or hearing the faintest sign of the German patrols.
Keggs was a man one must use that word, though it seems grossly inadequate of medium height, pigeon-toed at the base, bulgy half-way up, and bald at the apex. His manner was restrained and dignified, his voice soft and grave. But it was his eye that quelled Martin. That cold, blue, dukes-have-treated-me-as-an-elder-brother eye. He fixed it upon him now, as he added, placing the can on the floor.
"Serves you right," Amanda told him with impish delight. "I hope every cross-eyed, pigeon-toed girl in the county meets you and walks with you!" "Feel better now, Sis?" His grin brought laughter to the crowd and Amanda's peeved feeling was soon gone. It was true, Martin Landis spent many hours at the Reist farmhouse. He seemed filled with an insatiable desire for the companionship of Amanda.
We fed up at the town. The boys gets kind of restless " "Boys? Ain't you alone?" "Hell, no!" replied Williams disgustedly. "I wish I was! I got four pigeon-toed, bow-legged, bat-eared Moonstoners down in that meadow, just itchin' mad to cut loose. And they ain't sayin' a word, which is suspicious. Worryin' across the old dry spot the last three days has kind of het 'em up.
