His companion raised his foot and rested it carelessly, upon the settle near by, and upon the heel of his slim riding-boot I saw a particularly cruel-looking, long-necked spur.
"I shall go and place some flowers on his grave," said Juanita, as they sat on the terrace after luncheon and Sarrion smoked his cigarettes. "Now that I have forgiven him." Marcos was sitting sideways on the broad balustrade, swinging one foot in its dusty riding-boot. He could see Juanita from where he sat. He usually could see her from where he elected to sit.
'Come live with me and be my love," she quoted, sitting down to shake a stone out of her riding-boot. Bill looked startled. "I might say," he said hastily, "that I may have misled you, ladies. I'm married." "You said you had never been in love," Tish said sharply. "Well, not to say real love," he replied. "She was the cook of an outfit I was with and it just came about natural.
He paddled into Hummil's saddle-room in his bare feet and uncased a twelve-bore rifle, an express, and a revolver. Of the first he unscrewed the nipples and hid them in the bottom of a saddlery-case; of the second he abstracted the lever, kicking it behind a big wardrobe. The third he merely opened, and knocked the doll-head bolt of the grip up with the heel of a riding-boot.
"It was a solid lump of clear ice two inches long and one and a half broad." "I couldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen them," observed the girl. "I wonder that everyone who is caught out in such a storm is not killed." "Animals often are and men, too, for that matter," replied Daleham. Noreen tapped her smart little riding-boot with her whip.
A number eight box-toed riding-boot planted suddenly in the pit of one's stomach brings about the same result as a kick from a vigorous Missouri mule, I should imagine; anyway, that Mounted Policeman was eliminated as a fighting unit from the instant my toe made connections with his person.
"How was I to know " the girl began sullenly. But at that moment I found Mrs. Ostermaier' chamois bag thrust into her riding-boot, and she suddenly went pale. Tish held it up before her accusingly. "I dare say you will not deny this," she exclaimed, and took Mrs. Ostermaier's earrings out of it. The men muttered, but Aggie was equal to the occasion.
The moon was almost exactly overhead. The deputy sergeant-major went thoughtfully along the path till he arrived at the spot where the ascent ceased and the ground became quite level. "This is the best place, I think," he said. With the spurred heel of his riding-boot he drew a deep furrow in the clayey soil. "Will you stand here?" he said to the sergeant-major.
There was a light track of snow where he had crossed the room, and as he rested his foot upon the brass knob of the fender, the ice clinging to his riding-boot melted and ran down upon the hearth. "Oh, I've had a great day," he repeated heartily, holding his plump white hands to the flames. "It was worth the trip to test the spirit of Virginia; and it's sound, Julia, as sound as steel.
Before speaking the colonel made a step forward, so that his foot must necessarily prevent the closing of the door. "The Count de Vasselot," said he. "Take away your foot," replied Jean. The colonel noted with a good-natured surprise the position of his stout riding-boot, and withdrew it. "The Count de Vasselot," he repeated.
