I should be glad to know her, were there no objections." "How? His daughter?" "Miss Rachael, I believe. That is the name he used." "The young one, you mean?" "Yes, sir. The one who served me with breakfast. Rosy-cheeked and plump." "Whoa, man! She's his wife, and not for Gentiles. They're both his wives; whether he has more in Utah I don't know. But you'd best let her alone.
She could not keep the anxiety out of her voice. "Drinking? He could be as drunk as a lord and I wouldn't Whoa, Lion!... Get me some shaving soap, Kit!" he called after her, as she went into the shop. When she came back with her packages and got into the buggy, she said, quietly, "Tell me, Henry."
She greeted me in the same rather tempestuous manner that I am accustomed to at the hands of Betty and Hugh, and then she ran down the steps again to tell the cabman that he had a very nice horse, which she patted, and said, "Whoa, mare!" She always does that.
At that time there were only two words in the English language which seemed to come to me.

It was clear that Benham was grappling with a crisis upon a basis of inadequate experience. A number of people shouted haphazard things. Then, too late, the barrow had persuaded the little wheel to give up its fancy for the great wheel, and there was an enormous crash. "Whoa!" cried Benham. "Whoa!" but also, unfortunately, he sawed hard at the horse's mouth.
