Coming down the Turkey he met Van Horn. They had a bunch of Barb's boys with them driving in some cattle." "Whose cattle?" "Punk says when he run into 'em they was roundin' up yours." "Was Punk sober?" asked Laramie. "He sure was," replied McAlpin.
Some on 'em sort-of-kind-of feel 's if they was playin' nurse to you kids, and the notion don't go down none too good even to oblige Dan Ford, Boss. They've lived in the open, most of the boys has, and are better used to roundin' up stock than to tendin' tenderfeet youngsters. Eh, Little One? Ain't you nowise curious to hear how Netty passed the night?"
I'll accept the roundin' up he gave us and say! You'll swallo' your dose, too! Us boys'll stand in with him in this." So Trampas swallowed. And what of the Virginian?

That is, as how, roundin' out what I know about him, he's got a eye for a fine-lookin' lady. Which, against argyment, I maintain that Terry Temple girl is." "Guy Little," cried Packard sharply, "you're a fool! Maybe you know all there is about motor-cars an' gasoline. When it comes to females you're a fool."
"In roundin’ up the p’ints of my gov’ment, Mis’ Rodney, you don’t want to forget that green gourds and green grapes is mighty apt to belong to the sour fambly, when they hangs beyant your reach." "Ai-yi!" grimaced old Sally. "It’s tol’able far to send East for green fruit. We can take our own pep’mint."
Roubideau rounded up next day his beef stock and sold two hundred head to the drover. During the second day the riders were busy putting the road brand on the cattle just bought. "Don't bust yore suspenders on this job, boys," Webb told his men. "I'd just as lief lie up here for a few days while Uncle Sam is roundin' up his pets camped out there.
Aunt Jane spoke at last, and her words were an echo of my thought. "There's lots of satisfactory things in this world, child," she said, beaming at me over her spectacles with the smile of the optimist who is born, not made. "There's a satisfaction in roundin' off the toe of a stockin', like I'm doin' now, and knowin' that your work's goin' to keep somebody's feet warm next winter.
"Powder River bucked after he was roped an' tried to break away. The other horse, like any good cowpony does, leaned back on the rope an' dug a toe-hold." "Where's Houck going?" "Brown's Park likely, from the way they're headed." "What'll we do?" "Why, drap in on them to-night kinda casual an' say 'Much obliged for roundin' up our stray bronc for us." This programme did not appeal to Bob.
"He won't let 'em get far into the timber," said Shoop. "He sure saves me a lot of steps, roundin' up them hosses." "I can whistle Gray Leg to me," said Lorry. "Then the other horses'll come." Shoop nodded. "What you goin' to do to-day?" "Me? Well, it's so kind of quiet and big up here I feel like settin' around and takin' it all in. I ain't been in the high country much.
"We were roundin' up a few strays just the other side of the Narrows this morning, and Ace and Weary were workin' down the river.
