He then drew his kamund from the saddle-strap, and praying to God to grant him victory over his foes, urged on Rakush, and wherever he threw the noose, his aim was successful.
Then he placed the other strip on top, with the hollow side downwards thus sandwiching the defunct between the two pieces removed the saddle-strap, which he wore for a belt, and buckled it round one end, while he tried to think of something with which to tie up the other. "I can't take any more strips off my shirt," he said, critically examining the skirts of the old blue overshirt he wore.
Thus saying, Ferámurz rushed on his adversary, struck him several blows with his battle-axe, and drawing his noose from the saddle-strap with the quickness of lightning, secured his prize. He might have put an end to his existence in a moment, but preferred taking him alive, and showing him as a captive.
A saddle-strap was in one hand, his Sunday clothes, tied up in a handkerchief, in the other, and his presence made the room smell just like a woolshed. "Hello, Dave!" shouted everyone. He said "Well!" and dropped his hat in a corner. No fuss, no kissing, no nothing about Dave.
As for me, what does it matter? I may hide from them and escape, or at least I am old, my life is done, whereas yours is before you. Now, good-bye, and go on," and he let go of the saddle-strap. By way of answer Benita pulled up the horse. "Not one yard," she said, setting her mouth.

"You'll have to take care of that head of yours or you'll be found hanging by a saddle-strap to a leaning tree on a lonely track, or find yourself in a lunatic asylum before you're forty-five."
My door opened with the dining-room, and from my bed I could see the proceeding. Mr M'Swat hitched his trousers well through the saddle-strap which he always wore as a belt, took off his coat and folded it on the back of a chair, rolled his shirt-sleeves up to his elbows, pulled his hat well over his eyes, and "shaped up" to the writing material, none of which met with his approval.
My tail is tied to a stick in that cupboard where the tools are a bit of glue would stick both in. And one stirrup is nailed to the table-drawer for a handle. It could be got off, and tied to my saddle-strap with a bit of string. My mane is gone for ever. Johnny put it on a mask for whiskers one Guy Fawkes' day, and Herbert threw it in the bonfire.
