The two Masters that I have quoted, condemned this Retreat very much, especially Monsieur De Latouche, who says in springing back, three motions are necessary; first to draw back the Right-foot in guard, secondly to bend the Knee, and thirdly to chace or fly back.
The sergeant rode over to the high bank, and looked it over in an apparently careless manner, so as not to attract attention, as far up as the great bend just above Mill Springs. He shook his head significantly as he resumed his former position. "The swimmin' is all right after you git the hosses inter the water; but you've got to crack the nut afore you kin eat it, Leftenant."
He laughed again, and passed on in the wake of the hunt which had now swept far ahead round the bend of the hill. Meanwhile, 'Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, rendered stunned and dizzy by her fall, began to recover her equine senses.

We know now that it is impossible to carry out any human purpose by the contraction of one muscle or even one group of muscles.
