It's time for breakfast, man!" But Peter Fiddle made no more response than a log. And then a look of boyish mischief danced into Lawyer Ed's young eyes. "Come here, Rod!" he cried. "Let's fix him up and see what he'll do when we get back." Roderick alighted and helped unhitch the old horse from the wagon. They led him back to the house, watered him, put him into the old stable and fed him.
Immediately, Chester swung the horses to the right in among the trees, which, fortunately, happened to be dense at this particular point. "Guess we'll give 'em a little surprise," said Chester, with a grin. Dismounting, he motioned the men to unhitch the horses, which was done. Then the gun was whirled into position where it commanded the roadway. "We're ready for them," said Chester, quietly.
A few weeks after Arthur's arrival, Mrs. Motherwell called him from the barn, where he sat industriously mending bags, to unhitch her horse from the buggy. She had just driven home from Millford. Nobody had taken the trouble to show Arthur how it was done. "Any fool ought to know," Mr. Motherwell said. Arthur came running from the barn with his hat in his hand.
I resolved that I would not ask that question again in that tone in that scrape. I would be cheerful and courageous like Kate splendid Kate! "I shall have to unhitch them, tie one of them to that stump, and ride off on the other for help," said Kate. "Where to?" I asked. "Till I find it," grinned Kate, who seemed to think the whole disaster a capital joke.
"Got any track of 'em?" asked George Ray one evening, stopping at Anderson's back gate to watch the marshal unhitch his thankful nag. Patience had ceased to be a virtue with George. "Any track of who?" asked Mr. Crow with a fine show of innocence. "The robbers." "I ain't been trackin' robbers, George." "What in thunder have you been trackin' all over the country every day, then?"
"My cookin' is sech as white folks kin eat, but " "We will pay you twenty dollars a month." "The wages air more'n enough, but " "And the work will be light." "I ain't scar't o' work," she retorted valiantly, "but " "It's settled, then," said Ajax, in his masterful way. "If you'll get down, I'll unhitch the mule and put him in the barn. My brother will show you the house."
Si and Shorty waded around to unhitch the struggling mules, and then, taking poles in hand to steady themselves, took their stations in the stream where they could head the mules right. Thru the beating storm and the growing darkness, the wagons were, one by one, laboriously worked over until, as midnight approached, only three or four remained on the other side.
I could unhitch at the edge of the sidewalk in the shade of the trees, and you'd have a reserved seat through it all." "That's some better, anyway," she said, as if relieved. "I come near showing my temper, didn't I? Well, I've got one hid away inside of me, and it kicks up sand sometimes when I'm least expecting it."
When he opened the door, and stared at her and about the altered room, she swiftly went to him, and took the bundles he carried from his arms. "Hurry up, and unhitch, Dannie," she said. "Your supper is waiting." And Dannie turned and stolidly walked back to his team, without uttering a word. "Uncle Dannie!" cried a child's voice. "Please let me ride to the barn with you!"
Treacher a powerfully-built woman caught up the all but inanimate lady in both arms, and bore her into the passage, nodding to Miss Gabriel to unhitch from its nail a lamp which hung, backed by a tin reflector, just within the doorway. "Unhasp the door to the left, please. We'll rest her down in the Commandant's parlour. There's a sofa though he do mostly use to keep his books and papers upon it."
