My Pegasus is galloping off, goodness knows where, like his Majesty's charger at Dettingen. How do these rich historical and personal reminiscences come out of the subject at present in hand?

Marengo required no one to guide him, but followed quietly in the tracks of the snow-shoes, and thus avoided the trees, rocks, and other inequalities.
