By sundown, so great was their industry, the last calf had scampered, blatting resentment, to seek his mother in the herd. Slim kicked the embers of the branding fire apart and emptied the water-bucket over them with a satisfied grunt. "By golly, I ain't mourning because brandin's about over," he said. "I'm plumb tired uh the sight uh them blasted calves."
Such a chasing around and over benches, and upsetting the water-bucket, and tearing up Jack generally that teacher would say, "Boys! boys! If you can't play quietly, you'll have to go out of doors!" Play quietly! Why, the idea! What kind of play is it when you are right still? Outdoors in the country, you can whoop and holler, and carry on, and nobody complains to the board of health.
The water-bucket was usually at its place, or, failing that, there were some muddy little pools on the stone below. But the garbage-box was very unreliable. Once it left her for three days without food. She searched along the high fence, and seeing a small hole, crawled through that and found herself in the open street.
He took the treatment so to heart, that he kept on howling dismally for some time after he was taken out, and dried, and linimented and dosed by Mac, whose treachery about the amulet he seemed to forgive, since "Farva" had had the air of rescuing him from the horrors he had endured in that water-bucket, where, for all Kaviak knew, he might have stayed till he succumbed to death.
A man who knows how to do his work,... who has had enough to eat, and whose horse has had enough to eat, is always at ease...." In one of the corners a young cabman gets up, clears his throat sleepily, and makes for the water-bucket. "Want a drink?" Iona asks him. "Seems so." "May it do you good.... But my son is dead, mate.... Do you hear? This week in the hospital.... It's a queer business...."
Roses and pansies, with their funny little faces, and Sairy's blue gingham apron and the blue sky. The water-bucket on the porch, with the gourd. He began to mutter a little. "Time to take in, children didn't you hear the bell? I rang it loudly. I am ringing it now. Listen! Loud, loud like church bells and cannons. The old lesson.... Curtius and the gulf."
They had all withdrawn to some distance from the tree. Uncle Eb had been obliged to drag Tiger away, and was bathing his cuts out of the camp water-bucket in a shady corner. The dog, recognizing that he was a patient, submitted without a growl or budge, until his master, who had been keeping a keen eye on that pine-tree, suddenly loosed him, and started him off afresh with a loud "Whoop-ee!" and a
Eleven white pebbles and a black one are thrown into the water-bucket, and one by one we are blinded and led forward. I tremble as I place my hand in the vessel. It is like throwing the die for my own life. "Thank Heaven! my Moro is safe!" One of the Mexicans has drawn the black. "Thar's luck in that!" exclaims a hunter. "Good fat mustang better than poor bull any day!"
She put a little more coal on her fire and then went for a drink of water. The tin cup was not in its usual place, for Denas had left it on the table. Joan looked at the cup with a face full of questions. Had she left it there? She never before had done such a thing. Who then had been in her house? Who had been drinking from her water-bucket?
Stephen, and Teig sat alone by his fire with naught in his cupboard but a pinch of tea and a bare mixing of meal, and a heart inside of him as soft and warm as the ice on the water-bucket outside the door. The tuft was near burnt on the hearth a handful of golden cinders left, just; and Teig took to counting them greedily on his fingers. "There's one, two, three, an' four an' five," he laughed.
