She hadn't never ben used to hosses an' alwus set on the edge of the seat ready to jump, an' if one o' the critters capered a little she'd want to git right out then an' there.

I reckon she never went out but what she thanked mercy when she struck the hoss block to git back with hull bones." "I shouldn't have thought that she would have been nervous with the reins in your hands," said John.
"Wa'al," replied David, "the last time she come along somethin' give the team a little scare an' she reached over an' made a grab at the lines.
That," he remarked with a grin, "was quite a good while ago.

I says to her when we got home, 'I guess after this you'd better take your airin's on a stun-boat.

You won't be so liable to git run away with an' throwed out,' I says." John laughed a little, but made no comment.
"After all," said David, "I dunno 's I blamed her fer bein' skittish, but I couldn't have her grabbin' the lines.
