Ned ate and drank in silence. His nerves were quite steady, and he had become so used to battle that he awaited whatever they were going to attempt, almost without curiosity.
"But at the same time, if the tailed wanderer must do some mischief, I would rather it should break folks' arms and legs than turn their brains." "What a wish!" exclaimed Paula. "But you often say things and I see things about you too which seem to me extraordinary. Yesterday you promised. . . ."
"So, one evening, I left the wagon on that bit of red ground at the Fifteen-mile Gate, and tailed the bullocks down in the dark to sample the grass in Old Sollicker's horse-paddock. About eleven at night, when the first of them began to lie-down, I shifted the lot to an open place, so as to have them all together when they got full.
To the Major they only suggested an infinite capacity for foolishness. 'Don't you think we could exchange our Duke for another, a more interesting one? she added, misled perhaps by his look.

"They're on the run, by Gawd, they've got it right in the neck this journey," bellowed a soldier as the German infantry broke and tailed away. Then something took Tim in the chest, something wet and red, that went through him. The man next to Tim saw the long bayonet stand out beyond his back, saw Tim sway, laughing, and snap the steel short as he fell upon it.
Now I'm not a Ring Tailed Panther an' a Cheerful Talker for nothin', an' we want to hunt that band. Like as not they've been doin' some mischief, which we may be able partly to undo. I'm in favor of ridin' south, back on the herd track an' lookin' for 'em." "So am I," said Obed White.
