"Mr. Bass and Dad go off to hunt for the horses and mules we are to use on the trip. The burros will not travel fast enough, though they are going to put me on a large burro they name Belshazzar.
You see it's just like having so much soup as the cook's made for you, and all as good as can be, till the cook's mate tilts the lamp aside by a-hitting it with his head, and a drop o' hyle goes into the soup. That one drop o' train-hyle spyles all the pot. See what I mean?" "That Jarette is the drop of oil?" "That's it, sir, and a werry, werry rancid drop he be."
There is no limit to the mercy. I know that God's mercy is boundless. I know that 'whilst there is life there is hope. I know that a man, going swept down that great Niagara if, before his little skiff tilts over into the awful rapids, he can make one great bound with all his strength, and reach the solid ground I know he may be saved. It is an awful risk to run.
Vast numbers of them have been forced, either by paroxysms at intervals or by gradual movement, into all manner of angular inclinations. Whatever explanations we may offer of these innumerable and immense tilts and fractures, they would seem to demand for their completion an inconceivable length of time.
All this preparation, all the preliminaries, the whetting of appetites to razor edge, the tilts with fortune, the defiance of fate, the moil and toil and tribulations of months all brought to a head, focused on this minute and a half. All, all for one minute and a half! It had been a clean break from the barrier. But in a flash Emetic was away first, hugging the rail.
They were now chiefly loaded with wool and other produce, and with a few articles the travellers required for their journey.

But, as they now look around them, and note the canvas tilts, and light timbers, dry as chips from long exposure to the hot prairie sun; the piles of dry goods woollen blankets, cotton, and silk stuffs intended for the stores of Chihuahua, some of which they have hastily pulled from their places to form protecting barricades when they see all this, and then the preparations the Indians are engaged in making, no wonder that they feel dismay on Walt Wilder shouting out, "They're agoin' to set the waggons afire!"
There were the wagons most of them with their tilts torn off, and part of their contents scattered over the ground. There were the cannons too, with fires smouldering near them, but not a human being was in sight! Yes, there were human beings dead men lying over the ground! and living things wolves they were growling, and quarrelling, and tearing the flesh from their bodies!
He had listened to her bright retorts to O'Dowd's sallies, and marvelled at the ease and composure with which she met the witty Irishman on even terms. Her voice, always low and distinct, was never without the suggestion of good-natured raillery; he was enchanted by the faint, delicious chuckle that rode in every sentence she uttered during these sprightly tilts.
Your weight tilts it over a bit one side that's the worst of you successful business men." "Two stone heavier than I, if he's a pound," thought Andreas. "The man may be all right in his profession but heaven preserve me." "Off you go, my beauty." Doctor Erb flicked the little brown mare. "Did your wife get any sleep last night?"
