There were many dangers, many possibilities. One dawn they had ridden through the greater part of the night a climb which the horses took at walking pace brought them to the top of a down. The world seemed stretched out before them in the light of the new day. "That way lies Bordeaux," said Sabatier, reining in his horse, and pointing to the left.
After a hard run, Uncle Obed halted at the edge of a rough piece of ground, pulled off his coat, and pulled down about a rod of stone wall, then quietly went to work building it up again, as if that was his regular occupation. Presently the sheriff came riding up on the spur, and reining in, asked Obed if he had seen a fellow running for his life.
The designs purport to represent the Duke's battles and sieges; and everywhere we see the hero himself, as large as life, and as gorgeous in scarlet and gold as the holy sisters could make him, with a three-cornered hat and flowing wig, reining in his horse, and extending his leading-staff in the attitude of command. Next to Marlborough, Prince Eugene is the most prominent figure.
While he sat on his mare, considering the matter, the man with the lame horse, whom he had passed, overtook him. "Can you tell me," Kenneth asked, "who owns this property?" "Why, I do," replied the man, reining up. "And you permitted these vile signs to be painted on the rocks?" demanded the boy angrily. "O' course," replied the man, with a grin of amusement.
They came to these, followed the road out of the desert through a narrow gap, and passed into the Mountain Meadows, reining in their horses as they did so. Before them the Meadows stretched between two ranges of low, rocky hills, narrow at first but widening gradually from the gap through which they had come.
I loved a girl, down Windsor way, When we was lying there, As soft as silk, as mild as May, As timid as a hare. She blushed and smiled, looked down so shy, And then looked up again My comrades warned me: 'Mind your eye, With Twisting Jane! I wooed her thus, not sure but slow, To kiss she vowed a crime, For she was 'reining back, you know, While I was 'marking time.
"Good idea," said Rhinehart, and he added with a chuckle, "it's been nigh three months since I've talked to a piece of calico." "Hey, there!" called Haines, and he stepped out with Rhinehart before her horse. "Oh!" cried Kate, reining up her horse sharply. "Who are you?" "A beaut!" muttered Rhinehart in devout admiration.
"I was riding after a woman," said the Laird, with great simplicity, reining in his steed. "Then I am sure no woman on earth can long escape you, unless she be in an air balloon." "I don't know that. Is she far gone?" "In which way do you mean?" "In this." "Aha-ha-ha! Hee-hee-hee!" nichered McMurdie, misconstruing the Laird's meaning. "What do you laugh at, my dear sir? Do you know her, then?"
But in the middle of the road she gripped him by the collar and caught him two sound cuffs on the nape of the neck. She turned as we rode up. "The villain!" she cried, still keeping her grip. "Oh, protect me from such villains!" "But, my good woman," remonstrated my father, reining up, "it scarcely appears that you need protecting. Who is this man?" "A thief, your honour!
Their leaders plunged in, their horses sank nearly to the knees, and the whole party bunched up. "Surrender, you rebel galoots." yelled Si reining up at a little distance, and bringing his gun to bear. "Surrender, you off-scourings of secession," added Shorty. The rebels looked back, held up their hands, and said imploringly: "Don't shoot, Mister. We'uns give up. We'uns air taylored."
