So Buck romps off on his joyous mission, singing a little ballad that goes: "To hell with the man that works!" And Sandy moves quickly back to the wheel. I followed and found Cora barely surviving because she's lost nine of her three-dollar bets while Sandy was away, leaving her only about a hundred winner.
Bunning's face brought him to the sudden necessity of treating the nightmare as reality, for the moment at any rate. The staring spectacles piteously appealed to him "I can't stand it I can't stand it." "Hush!" Olva held his hand, and out of the fog, below in the Court, a voice was calling "Craven! Craven! Buck up, you old ass!"
I wish you'd lick the stuffin' outa him. I'm awful hungry, Daddy Chip." "We'll be home pretty quick," Chip said in a queer, choked voice. "Who was the man, Buck? Where is he now?" The Kid lifted his head sleepily from his Daddy Chip's shoulder and pointed vaguely toward the moon. "He's the man that jumped Andy's ranch right on the edge of One Man," he explained.
My gun hung fire a little, owin' to the night-dews, but that buck went down, and after kickin' a moment, laid still, and I took it for granted he was dead. So I laid down my rifle, and went up to where he was, and with my huntin' knife in my hand, took hold of his horn to raise his head so as to cut his throat.
"I reckon you've got him right there in your coat and pants." "I ain't so dead sure, Buck," spoke up Pesky. "We didn't see the man so as to know him." "Riding a roan, wasn't he?" snapped the owner of the Twin Star outfit. "Looked that way," admitted the cowpuncher. "Well, then?" "Keller! Why, that's the name given by the rustler who broke away from us two weeks ago," Curly spoke out.
"And you'd hold him for lettin' the guy loose, eh?" "I would. I'd hold my own brother for playing a trick like that." "Well, I don't sabe it," asserted the undersheriff. "Lorry Adams always had a good name." "We'll have a talk with him, Bill." "Are you sure Adams did it, Buck?" "No, not sure, but I'm going to find out. I'll throw a scare into him that'll make him talk." "Mebby he won't scare."
And she had a big family, little Cindy and the two big girls and Buck and Mart who was out somewhere and the hired man, and yes "Thar was another boy, but he was fitified," said one of the big sisters. "I beg your pardon," said the wondering Blight, but she knew that phrase wouldn't do, so she added politely: "What did you say?" "Fitified Tom has fits. He's in a asylum in the settlements."
On the way thither, it being just the hour for the deer to be running, that is, descending from the hills for an evening meal, Neal got a successful shot at a small two-year-old buck. This was a stroke of luck for the campers, and a necessary deed of death. It supplied them with venison for their journey; and, as Cyrus said, "they had already put a shamefully big hole in Dr.
And he picked up a fourth sheet of wall-paper. Almost at the same moment Buck strode quickly into the office. He had a bandage round his head. "I was told," he said, with his usual gruff civility, "that your Majesty was here." "And of all things on earth," cried the King, with delight, "here is an eye-witness! An eye-witness who, I regret to observe, has at present only one eye to witness with.
We paddled up to within twenty yards of a buck, and the guide gave the signal to shoot; but Emerson could see nothing resembling a deer, and finally the creature took fright and ran, and all we got of him was the sound of galloping hoofs as he sped away, stopping a moment, when at a safe distance, to snort at the intruders, and then off again.
