"H'm," ruminated Welton. "Chinless, eh? I wondered why he wore long white whiskers." As he walked up the street toward the hotel, where he would spend the night before undertaking the long drive back, somebody hailed him. He looked around to see a pair of beautiful driving horses, shying playfully against each other, coming to a stop at the curb.
Desirous of wealth, Manki found that he was repeatedly doomed to disappointments. Shying at the sight of a camel that was lying down on the road, the animals suddenly ran towards the camel, and fell upon its neck.
I certainly will be proud to have you wearing my name again." But both men were shying away from all this frank expression of their emotion, and Hanlon dropped back a pace. "How does it happen I've never seen you around the buildings or grounds here?" "No one ever sees me in uniform, except in this or some other Base office on special occasions. Outside, I'm always disguised.
"Yes, yes," quickly replied the candidate, "I am coming to that very soon." Shying off to the tariff, the improvement of Western rivers, and the necessity of rigid economy in all public expenditures, our candidate was about to close when the same troublesome inquiry, "Mr. Duncan, are you in favor of the Maine Law?" again greeted his unwilling ears.
The three men mounted their horses and rode away, but Philip's mare was, as usual, shying at every tree.

You can imagine how drunk he was, to let me have it. How they've been shying off from me these last few months!" "And you want Galloway to come to you," thrust Tetlow, as he counted out the money. "Don't go back and chew on that," laughed Norman. "It's settled." He took the money, gave it to the driver. "Thanks," he said to Tetlow.
"but take heed, for they see that thy horse is good, and one of them, the last, hath a bent Turk bow in his hand, and is laying an arrow on it; as ever their wont is to shoot a-horseback: a turn of thy rein, as if thine horse were shying at a weasel on the road!"
Even while he was talking with comparative calmness to Mr. Ferguson, his thoughts were whirling, and veering, in dizzying circles bewildered rage, pity, fright, revolt, and then back again to half-dazed fury.
