I presented my gun to her, but, as she did not understand it, she was perfectly unconcerned at it, nor did she offer to stir away; upon which I tossed her a bit of biscuit, though, by the way, I was not very free of it, for my store was not great: however, I spared her a bit, I say, and she went to it, smelled of it, and ate it, and looked (as pleased) for more; but I thanked her, and could spare no more: so she marched off.

He tossed his toilet articles and a few changes of linen into a small, flexible valise and ran down the stairs.

When he went out she tossed her reins over the head of her horse and strapped his valise behind her saddle.
