Cuchillo gave the spur to his horse, causing him to bound to one side while at the same time he attempted to unbuckle the straps that fastened his carbine to the saddle; but Tiburcio sprang after, seized his hand, and held it while he repeated the question: "How long have you owned this horse?"
In a moment the Sky Wagon touched down, bumping only a little as it rolled across the field. He taxied to where the girls and the Millers were waiting, and killed the engine. Barby and Jan were up on the wing before the boys had a chance even to unbuckle seat belts. Both girls were obviously excited, and both started to talk the moment Rick opened the cabin door.
But few expressions of sympathy were offered to the coughing, shivering, dripping woman, who sat silently in the chair upon the sands. She was meek enough now when the guards came to unbuckle the straps and free her. Even after she was released, she sat in the chair, strangling, coughing and shivering.
"It's good of you to take me in, Judge," said Austen, patting his shoulder. And then he began, quite naturally to unbuckle the breechings and loose the traces, which he did with such deftness and celerity that he had the horse unharnessed and in the stall in a twinkling, and had hauled the buggy through the stable door, the Honourable Hilary watching him the while.
"You shall neither catch a scolding nor a cold on my account, pretty one," said the man, going to his horse to get the saddle-cloth. "Oh, don't take off the saddle it will detain you too long," said Cap, impatiently. "My pretty Cap, I cannot get the cloth without taking it off," said the man, beginning to unbuckle the girth. "Oh, yes, you can; you can draw it from under," persisted Cap.
She carefully drew the shutters to, and laughed to see how clumsily Hermas set to work to unbuckle the greaves; but the gay laugh died upon her lips when the gate flew open, the greyhound and the senator's watch-dogs barked loudly, and she recognized her husband's voice as he ordered the dogs to be quiet. "Fly-fly-for the gods' sake!" she cried in a trembling voice.
Quiett said that in getting out his dinner, father took a pistol out of his saddlebags. This created much merriment for them, as they thought it would have been of little use to him in case of attack. They told him that if that was where he carried it, the South Carolinians would shoot him some day before he could unbuckle his saddle-bags.
"Now the Winchester. Now stand up an' let's look at you." The man obeyed. "Yo' don't really need that other gun, under th' circumstances," pursued the little man. "No, don't fetch her loose from the holster none; jest unbuckle th' whole outfit, belt and all. Good! Now, you freeze, and stay froze right whar you are." So Alfred arose and scrambled down to the bottom.
Sylvia looked around her with appreciation as she alighted. "I am going to like South Africa," she said, "I wonder!" said Ranger. He began to unbuckle the traces, and she went round to the other side and did the same. "Poor dears, they are hot!" she said. "Don't you do that!" said Ranger. She was tugging at the buckle. "Why not? I like doing it. I love horses, don't you?
"You will take particular care of this horse, young man walk him about a little; wash his back with salt and water. Just unbuckle the saddle- bags; give them to me. Oh! safe enough, I dare say, but papers of consequence. The prosperity of the colony depends on these papers. What would become of you all if any accident happened to them, I shudder to think."
