I think women have more to do with war then men, even if they do stay home. It must be because women are mothers.... Lenore, you've bucked me up. I'll go at things now. The need for wheat next year will be beyond calculation. I'll buy ten thousand acres of that wheatland round old Chris Dorn's farm. An' my shot at the Germans will be wheat. I'll raise a million bushels!"
Yes, certainly," said Trask, reminded of where he was as he looked up to see the bar-boy standing beside him and Wilkins waiting. In spite of the fact that the letter was ample proof that Miss Locke was gone, it had put his head in a whirl. At least she hadn't forgotten. He followed Wilkins. "You look quite bucked up now," said Wilkins, as he pulled out a chair beside a marble-topped table.
With the grip on his ears released he once more gave heed to this clamoring within. He leaped straight up into the air. Returning to earth with nerve-shattering shock, he whirled suddenly, pitched and bucked, tossed and twisted, all in mad effort. But the weight clung fast. He whirled again, and again leaped, leaped clear of the ground, returning to it this time on stiffened legs.
It was moonlight. I I got the gate open, and I I roped him, and " He interrupted himself, was upon one elbow again. "It was a stallion a cross-bred, maybe and and say, friend, he rode me to death! I got on him before I knowed what he was. Bareback. He shot out of that corral like he was crazy. But I I managed to hold hold to him and if he'd only bucked me off! But he didn't.
The cries of the cowboys cut high above the chorus of yelling applause as the furious outlaw tried every known trick to unseat the rider. High in the air he bucked, swapping ends like a flash, and landing with all four feet "on a dollar," his legs stiff as jack-pine posts.
It was your using it that caused a shiver down my spine. But why bucked?" "It appears there's a girl in France." "Oho!" said the Dean. "Who is she?" "That's what Peggy, even now, would give a good deal to find out." For Doggie had told Peggy nothing more about the girl in France. Jeanne was his own precious secret. That it was shared by Phineas and Mo didn't matter.

According to the custom of the country, he was driven ashore at Windy Arm; three times on Tagish saw him swamped and beached; and Lake Marsh held him at the freeze- up.
The effort both to ride them and to look as if I enjoyed doing so, on some cool morning when my grinning cowboy friends had gathered round "to see whether the high-headed bay could buck the boss off," doubtless was of benefit to me, but lacked much of being enjoyable. The time I smashed my rib I was bucked off on a stone.

Wealth is nothing where a true affection is concerned. Love is all-powerful. If he only had spoken earlier! She could not have refused our Richard. But now I fear it is too late. He will have no opportunity to address her.
He sat down. "You're right, I must get away." "You're dreadfully hard hit, aren't you?" "Oh, Jim!" Lightbody's hand closed over the book and he opened it mechanically in the effort to master the memory. "This book we were reading it last night together."
