But the triumphant vault into the saddle was never made; the animal, alarmed at this summary and unusual method of release, was shying away from the man who was trying in his frenzied haste to mount on the wrong side. As Coogan hopped about with muttered oaths, trying to secure an effectual footing, a dark, slender figure seemed to rise out of the ground at his side.
"Ours is a poor but honest paper," said Maddox with his devilish twinkle. "I don't see how I can very well be the editor of The Planet so long as it insists on shying a dead cat every week at the editor of Metropolis." "We have never mentioned the editor of Metropolis. Still if you can induce Rankin to give up his little jest the cat is certainly very dead by this time."
You've got no more heart than a mushroom, for you're all head and legs, and you're going to be just as bald some day." "I am, am I, mistress?" "If I were you, Philip, I should hire myself out for a scarecrow, and then having nothing under your clothes wouldn't so much matter." "It wouldn't, wouldn't it?" said Philip. She was shying off at a half circle; he was beating round her.
Science tells us that the flight of a bird, the falling of a leaf, the laughter of a child, the vibration of song, changes the whole universe. The boy shying a stone from one tree to another alters the center of gravity for the earth. And if the movements of dead leaves and stones are events unchangeably written down in nature, how much more are living hopes and thoughts.
Miller's horse, shying, swerving unexpectedly, had thrown him. Before he could get to his feet the bag of gold under his coat had been torn off, his revolver wrenched away and the highwayman, his face masked with a red bandana handkerchief, had run into the thick timber. "Charlie just walked in, reeling like a drunken man," Tripp concluded.
Accordingly, he lowered his gun, in the hopes of quieting his nerves, so as to bring himself up to the self-appointed task. As he did so, his horse began shying off from the buffalo. He was afraid of the horns of the enraged creature, and having given him all the opportunity he could expect, he was not willing to keep him company any longer.
We got to work at once shying the sandbags over from the old front of the trench to the parados. Our guns had never stopped all the time; they were now plastering the third line trenches. And almost at once the German shells began dropping into us. Of course they had the range to an inch.
They are only like young horses, pulling too hard at first and sweating off their strength jibbing one moment and shying the next when it comes to "'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard 'igh road," one finds who is going to stick it and who is not.
Say, your mount gets bounding this way, that way;" and with his body and hands he indicated the rapid lateral movements of a horse shying and plunging. "Well, it's only the grip that can save you. You aren't going to keep in your saddle by mere balance and it's balance that old gentlemen rely on best part of the time." Mavis listened wonderingly and admiringly.
My master as usual whipped me smartly, but the old man cried out, 'You're wrong! you're wrong! You should never whip a horse for shying; he shies because he is frightened, and you only frighten him more and make the habit worse. So I suppose all men don't do so.
