"I'm going to attend to my lady friend." As the door slammed, he dragged Susan by the throat and one arm to the bed, flung her down. "I saw you were a high stepper the minute I looked at you," said he, in a pleasant, cooing voice that sent the chills up and down her spine. "I knew you'd have to be broke. Well, the sooner it's done, the sooner we'll get along nicely."
Won't you come into the house and sing something for me?" "All right," said Honor. "I love to sing, but I haven't studied very much yet, and I haven't any decent songs. Why doesn't somebody write some? Songs about something? Not just maudling along about 'heart' and 'part' and that kind of stuff! Come on! There's Stepper at the piano now. He'll play for me."
Ye mind what an awful day it was; the thunder roared as if the heavens were tumbling on the world, and the lichtnin sent the trees daudin on the roads, and folk hid below their beds and prayed they thocht it was the Judgment! But Gourlay rammed his black stepper in the shafts, and drave like the devil o' hell to Skeighan Drone, where there was a young doctor.
After the Rhine wine all tongues were unloosened, and as soon as they had eaten the Normandy sole- oh! what glorious appetites at twenty years of age! the five young men all talked at once. What a racket! Exclamations crossed one another like rockets. Gustave, forcing his weak voice, boasted of the performances of a "stepper" that he had tried that morning in the Allee des Cavaliers.
She turned into a quieter street and drove more slowly, so that she was able to face him for an instant, her face troubled. "Want me to drive?" "No, I like the feel of the wheel again, after so long. You talk, Stepper." "Well, T. S., I've no tangible charge to make against Carter, save that his influence has been consistently bad for Jimsy since the first day he limped into our ken.
They were playing better now, all of them, but it wasn't brilliant football; it couldn't be. It would be a battle of dogged endurance. "I say, my dear, is that a down?" the English novelist wanted to know. "Yes," said Honor, patiently. "That's a down, and now there'll be another because they have " again she cut short her explanation and caught hold of her stepfather's arm. "Stepper! Look!
A slip of his excellent stepper in one of the half-frozen pits of the highway was the principal cause of his confusion of logic; she was half on her knees. Beyond the market town the roads were so bad that he quitted them, and with the indifference of an engineer, struck a line of his own Southeastward over fields and ditches, favoured by a round horizon moon on his left.
Honor sat still at the piano. She did not mean to lift her eyes until she could be sure they would not run over. Why did that song always sweep her away so? from the first moment Stepper had read her the words in the old house on South Figueroa Street, all those years ago? Why had she always the feeling that it had a special meaning for her and for Jimsy a warning, a challenge?
Oh, Stepper, dear, haven't we waited long enough?" "He's only twenty, T. S." She sighed. "Being young is the cruelest thing in the world!" "You are blaspheming!" said her stepfather, sternly. "T. S., that's the only stupid and wicked thing you've ever said in the years I've known you! Don't ever dare to say it or think it again! Being young is the most golden and glorious thing in the world!

The banker, on his part, was handling a tremendous whip and sending along his two horses, which were harnessed tandemwise, the leader being a little warm-colored chestnut with a mouselike trot, the shaft horse a big brown bay, a stepper, with a fine action.
