"They's mighty few white men takes the trouble to look, but the Indians used to know. They'd come canoein' an' fishin' down the river an' camp under these very trees, an' Ma 'ud git so mad at the old squaws. Settlers wasn't so thick then, an' you had to be mighty careful not to rile 'em, an' they'd come a-trapesin' with their wild berries. Woods full o' berries!
And he seemed, instead of lovin' to rile her up, as he had, to jest put his hull mind on the idee of the joyful surprise. But do all I could, he wouldn't tell me one word about what he wuz goin' to do, only he kep it up, kep a-sayin' that, "It wuz somethin' I couldn't help approvin' of, and it wuz somethin' that would happify me, and be a solid comfort to her, and a great gain and honor."
Reclining in a big chair, and scowling at her, was Mick the Wolf, whose arm Carshaw had broken recently. "Yes," growled that worthy, "I'm not the most cheerful company, missy, but my other arm is strong enough to put that fellow of yours out o' gear if he butts in on me ag'in. So just cool your pretty lil head, will you? I'm boss here, and if you rile me it'll be sort o' awkward for you."
Two hands waved a joyous farewell from the top of the cars, delighted at the prospect of a trip to market with the steers. "I don't pretend to regret that old Rile played even for Bang's," Harris said. "But I wish he'd sorted out some one else in the albino's place. It was bad business for the Three Bar when Harper went down." "He was the head of the gang," she said. "The worst of the lot."
There was just a chance that he would work back through these breaks below us instead of making a ride for it, and we could have spotted him from up here. We might as well be going." They mounted and headed to the right along the divide. "If Rile is in sight we can wait for him," he said. "And see if he's picked up any tracks."
One of the privates turned quickly and ran. D'ri sent a shot after him, that only grazed a leg, and he kept on. Then D'ri gave all attention to his new prisoners. They could see no amusement in dodging bullets; they threw their arms on the side-hill and sat down with the others. The captain swore as he submitted, "Don't rile yerself," said D'ri; "you need rest."
She wouldn't let me open my lips in the afternoon, and at supper she read the paper every minute Harris will tell you." Blair Maitland whistled. "Well, I'll tell her myself. It was really to spare her that I wanted you to do it. I always rile her, somehow, poor dear mother. Nannie, this house reeks of cabbage! Does she live on it?" Blair threw up his arms with a wordless gesture of disgust.
And I don't mind nuther their standin' off, and throwin' their flies as fur as they've a mind to; that's not it. And it ain't even the way they have of worryin' their fish. I wouldn't do it myself, but if they like it, that's their business. But what does rile me is the cheeky way in which they stand up and say that there isn't no decent way of fishin' but their way.
"I know it is, so let's drop it," Stuart interrupted. "I won't drop it. You rile me. You're the only man I've struck on this earth that didn't have his price." "Perhaps we have different ways of fixing values. To me value is a thing which gives life. If it brings death is it valuable? You are not yet fifty years old and a wreck. What's the use? What can you do with your money now?"
I used to have aspirations that way, myself; but I am coming to the conclusion that for me charity begins at home, and that it counts for more to make Billy comfortable than to make his life a burden with my hobbies." "Blunt as ever, Teddy?" Hope's laugh had no sting. "Yes. I haven't reformed yet. Things 'rile' me, just as they used to, things and people. I'm a good hater, Hope."
