A pair of leggings of scarlet cloth were drawn on, attached to a waist-belt, and bound below the knee with broad garters of variegated bead-work. It was some time before this Adonis was quite satisfied with himself.
I must mention that I had tied my horse's halter to my waist-belt in case of any alarm in the night, for I sleep so soundly always that no ordinary noise or movement ever wakes me. I sprang up of course, calling the Wallack at the same time. Something had frightened the horses, and they had attempted to bolt.
My arms did not move, my left hand held the reins on a level with my imaginary waist-belt, about which the sergeant talked, and my right hand hung steadily down just by my leg, but all the time I was on guard, and keenly on the watch for blows from those white bony hands that seemed to be flourished before me.
"I don't know," replied the other, with a serious look, as he thrust his hand under his waist-belt, "there's no hole that I can find, anyhow." The hand, when withdrawn, was covered with blood, but it was found on examination that the wound was slight, thanks to the providential interposition of the thick bullet-pouch.
But with this thought came the regretful recollection that his predilection for bed was quickly discovered, and his further penalties took the form of the buckle end of his father's waist-belt. However, he put the proposition with much tact. "Say, kiddies," he began, "how soon does your momma put you to bed?" Vada shook her wise little head. "Momma don't. Poppa does."
As he passed the corner of the British Museum a hand touched him on the shoulder, and its owner said: "How much are ye paid a week, lad, for kicking up such a row?" Willie looked round, and his eyes encountered the brass buckle of the waist-belt of a tall, strapping fellow in a blue uniform.
He hung his head and scraped with an unconscious foot upon the floor. The minister recovered his wind, looked with contempt in every line at the man who had abused him, and sat down without a word before the fire. "I'm sorry about this," said M'Iver, fumbling about his waist-belt with nervous ringers; "I'm sorry about this, Master Gordon.
The Masai have a wonderfully well-organised military system. Besides the spear and shield they generally carry a sword or knobkerrie, suspended from a raw-hide waist-belt; and they certainly look very ferocious in their weird-looking headdress when on the warpath.
He found his enemy taking refuge on a tree round the trunk of which a large python was curled. "Come down," said the Pig, "and I will kill you." "I cannot come down to-day. I am set here to watch the King's girdle. Look at it," he said, pointing to the Python. "Is it not pretty? I have never seen such a handsome waist-belt before." "It is beautiful," said the Pig.
He wore a waist-belt of hairy leopard's skin, wherein gleamed two formidable cutlasses. As soon as Hamilcar turned away he began to cry aloud and invoke all the Baals. It was not his fault! he could not help it!
