There's nothing whatever the matter with Whirlwind. He must win the cup John Farrier says so. You are the person who does not wish him to win." Adventurers never blush when they are found out, and Willy Forrest was no exception to the rule. "Oh, there you are," he cried boisterously, "just the same old kettle-drum and the same old sticks. Do you think I don't know as much about a horse as Farrier?
"This fear of solitude brought Grettir, at last, to his end." Ghosts being seldom dangerous to human life, we follow up the homicidal Glam with a Scottish traditional story of malevolent and murderous sprites.

They also form a part of the aegyptiacum of the farrier. There are many better drugs to accomplish the same purpose. 'Creosote' is seldom used for the dog.

I have mentioned that several distinguished Australian explorers took part in the reception, and I may add that among them were the whole of Stuart's last party, except the gallant leader and Mr. Kekwick, who were dead, Mr. Few, who was in a distant part of the colony, and the farrier, who had gone no one knew whither.

Give me your definition of a horse." "Girl number twenty unable to define a horse!" said Mr. Gradgrind, for the general behoof of all the little pitchers.
"Well," he said, "here I am, seated on the emperor's favorite horse, sitting upon him as if I were the emperor himself. But what was it the farrier asked me? Ah, I remember now, that's a good thought, he asked me why the golden shoes were given to the horse. The answer is quite clear to me, now. They were given to the horse on my account."
