When he shows up in the next rodeo, with the right brand on his ribs, and some other brand where the right brand ought to be you'll take pains to remember his natural markings, of course you will explain the circumstances, and the owner of the iron that was put on him by mistake will be asked to vent his brand. A brand is vented by putting the same brand on the animal's shoulder. Look!
And the way his ribs sticks out and just feel them muscles on the point of his shoulder Oh, Jud, he would of made a prime wrestler, this fine bird of ours!" "It's like touchin' somethin' dead, granddad," said the boy. "I don't dast to do it!" "Jud, they's some times when I just about want to give you up! Dead? He ain't nowheres near dead. Just bled a bit, that's all.
Yet all the while he chuckled to himself until it seemed as if his dry old ribs would rattle in his sides; and every day, before Nick sang, he had him up to his little room for a broken egg and a cup of rosy cordial.
With the others I played about the camp, spinning tops on the ice, sliding down hill on a bit of parfleche, or on a sled made of buffalo ribs, and sometimes hunting little birds in the brush. All this I know about from having heard my mother tell of it; it is not in my memory. This is what I remember: One day, with one of my friends, I had gone a little way from the camp, and down the stream.
Poor man, your ribs will ache for this for a month to come! But the other gentleman opposite: see how flexible he has rendered his body.
In the spandrels of the main arches are coats of arms with angels above them. It consists of two arched openings separated by a pier. Above the two arches is an acutely-pointed gable, within which, supported by the arches, is a circle with cinquefoil tracery. Above the gable is a further arch, the ribs of which join the gable at its exterior angles.
Then followed, from an invisible hand, the most terrible blows in the ribs that anyone ever received. The effect of my terror made me endeavour convulsively to strike and grasp at the unseen object before me. The rapidity of my motions brought me to the ground, where I lay stretched out with a man under me, whom I held tight, and who now became visible. The whole affair was now explained.
But Ralph's growing proficiency in a seaman's tasks was such, that on Rucker's advice, he was put before the mast altogether, after one of the sailors had broken several ribs by falling from aloft during a squall. The injured man, as soon as he was able, took Ralph's place in the cabin. As they approached the African coast, alternate fogs and calms delayed their progress somewhat.
"Right you are, my hearty. Well, ladies, the chariot awaits without." In spite of their protests, Val at last got rid of them. Since he had a project of his own, he was only too glad to see the last of his oversolicitous family for awhile. Val had never been able to understand why broken ribs or a fractured collar-bone should chain one to the bed.
Had it been a purely logical question he was dealing with, he might not have been quite puzzled; but to apply logic here, as he was attempting to do, was like not like attacking a fortification with a penknife, for a penknife might win its way through the granite ribs of Cronstadt it was like attacking an eclipse with a broomstick: there was a solution to the difficulty; but as the difficulty itself was deeper than he knew, so the answer to it lay higher than he could reach was in fact at once grander and finer than he was yet capable of understanding.
