At last, in desperation, Maurice de St. Genis had thought of wrapping himself in his cloak and getting what rest he could by the roadside, for he was getting very tired and saddle-sore, when on his left he perceived in the far distance, glimmering through the mist, two small lights like bright eyes shining in the darkness.
He learnt what it is to be flea-bitten, saddle-sore, hungry and, above all, thirsty. He was haunted by a dread of fever, and so contrived strange torments for himself with overdoses of quinine. He ceased to be traceable from Chexington in March, and he reappeared in the form of a telegram from Karachi demanding news in May.
We had ridden across an ice-field which sloped gently off into China, I dare say. I did not look over. Our horses were weary, and we were saddle-sore and hungry. Pete, our big guide, whose name is really not Pete at all, waved an airy hand toward the massed peaks beyond the land of our dreams. "Well," he said, "there it is!" And there it was.
Goin' past the bank, who would I see but our old bookkeeper, Merriam, chinnin' wid the bank president. I thought he was out o' the way entirely." Stiff and saddle-sore as he was, Eckstein leaped out of his chair with an oath. "Merriam? What the devil is he back here for? It's a put-up job!" It was the chief of the MacMorroghs who flung in the calming word.
Over these soft and feathery plumes of balsam soft and feathery only through six blankets is laid the bedding, and on this couch the wearied and saddle-sore tourist may sleep as comfortably as in his grandaunt's feather bed. But, dear traveler, it is much simpler to take an air-mattress and a foot-pump. True, even this has its disadvantages.
The senator was saddle-sore as well as hungry, and his temper showed in his blood-shot eyes. He would have quarreled with his best-beloved woman that morning, and he began on Swan. Why hadn't he come back down the gulch yesterday and helped track the girl, as he was told to do?

Ford was for starting back the next morning: he had missed Brissac and both of the Bensons on the way over. But Kenneth confessed to being saddle-sore, and begged for another day's respite. Ford agreed without giving the matter a second thought. Upon such unconsidered trifles an indifferent "yes" or "no" turn the poised scales of life.
