Σελίδα 213 - m bound for the Kingdom, — will you go to glory with me ? " the rogue shouted back over his shoulder, with a defiant grin, never slacking his pace. Jack gave Snowfoot a touch of the whip, reined out of the track, and drove after him. The fellow at the same time quickened his step to a run, and before he could be overtaken he had come to rough ground, where fast driving was dangerous. Jack pulled up unwillingly, revolving rapidly in his mind what he should do. Though he had recovered his horse,...
Σελίδα 133 - " Aunt Vinnie ; and. I tell you, she 's real slick." And Link slashed away at the wood with an axe ; for that was the Betterson style, — to saw and split the sticks only as the immediate necessities of the house required. Rufe might have hitched the horse, but he was not a fellow to give himself any trouble that could well be avoided ; and just then he saw Wad coming out of the yard with two pails. Wad, being cordially invited to stay and hold the horse, also declined, except on condition that...
Σελίδα 175 - ... I never could get in love with work," replied Wad. " I 'm constitutionally tired, as the lazy man said. The thought of that trench makes my back ache." " It wont be such a back-aching job as you suppose. You 've only to take one stroke with a pick or shovel at a time. And as for that constitutional weariness you complain of, now is the time in your lives to get rid of it, — to work it out of your blood, — and lay the foundations of your manhood.
Σελίδα 210 - Radcliff Betterson say to you, I wonder ? " CHAPTER XXIX. ANOTHER HUNT, AND HOW IT ENDED. JACK had one day been surveying a piece of land a few miles east of Long Woods. It was not very late in the afternoon when he finished his work ; and he found that, by going a little out of his way, and driving rather fast, he could, before night, make Vinnie and her friends a call, and perhaps give Airs.
Σελίδα 143 - Vinnie pictured to herself a youth of precious qualities and great promise, and asked : " Where is Radcliff now ? " " He is not with us just at present. He is of age and his own master ; and though we make a home for him, he's away a good deal." " What is his business ?" " He has no fixed pursuit. He is, in short, a gentleman at large.
Σελίδα 185 - ... greatly admired if he had not had other business on his mind. The bird fell in the direction of the boundary fence. Jack ran as if to pick it up, at the same time giving a low whistle for his dog. He stooped, and was for a minute hidden by the fence from the Peakslow boys — if, indeed, Rufe gave them leisure just then to look in that direction. Darting forward to the fence, Jack took down the top rails of a corner, and made a motion to Lion, who leaped over. "Catch Snowfoot ! catch Snowfoot...
Σελίδα 150 - And I like them. They do all they can for me. Rufus even helped me about the washing,- — pounded and wrung out the clothes. You must stay to dinner to-day." " I think I may have to," said Jack ; "for my horse has n't come back from Chicago yet, and I don't mean to go home without him." When he went out he found the boys waiting, and accepted a seat with Wad and Link on a board placed across two of the tubs. Rufe walked by the cattle's horns ; while in the third tub sat Chokie. " You can't sit...
Σελίδα 137 - 11 get you a basket of potatoes now, and some green corn, and I '11 look out for the water and wood." "O, thank you!" said Vinnie. "That will make things so much easier and pleasanter for all of us !" The potatoes and corn were got with a cheerful alacrity which quite astonished Rufe's mother and sisters. The inertia of a large body being thus overcome, that well-known property of matter tended to...
