'Stead of which Oi predic' that the young feller's a real man once he gets strung out. Anyways, Oi bet he does his foightin' whiles the other feller's there 'stead of settin' 'round an' snortin' folks' whisky full o' cracker-crumbs." He gazed ruefully into his half-filled glass. "Throw it out, Daddy, an' have one on me," offered Burrage, reaching for the jug.
At the explosion the passer-by spun about and his whistle expired in a snort of angered surprise as the bared head of Mr. Leary appeared above the topmost board of the pile, and Mr. Leary's abashed face looked into his. "Say," he demanded, "wotcher meanin', hidin' there and snortin' in a guy's ear?" His manner was truculent; indeed, verged almost upon the menacing.
And sez he: "The first thing I do when I go home will be to send the colt to the deestrick school." I told him the teacher wouldn't want him whinnerin' round amongst her scholars, and mebby gallopin' and snortin' round the schoolroom. But he wuz as firm as adamant in his idee.

"You have seen-Old Clay in a pastur, a racin' about, free from harness, head and tail up, snortin', cavortin', attitudinisin' of himself. Mane flowin' in the wind, eye-ball startin' out, nostrils inside out a'most, ears pricked up.
The morning on which this argument took place Dale was a long time in catching the horses. When he did come in he shook his head seriously. "Some varmint's been chasin' the horses," he said, as he reached for his saddle. "Did you hear them snortin' an' runnin' last night?" Neither of the girls had been awakened. "I missed one of the colts," went on Dale, "an' I'm goin' to ride across the park."
I had to grin a little, but even though it didn't seem as skeptical to me as it did to him, I saw he might be right about it. Still, I wasn't goin' to take sides without hearin' all the evidence, so I sez, "Is she healthy, Jabez?" "Healthy?" he sez.
