This was another small, grassy bottom. Blue went galloping after them, indignant that they should even attempt to elude him. They were making for the head of that pocket, and Billy Louise twitched the reins suggestively. Blue obeyed the hint, which proved that the human brain is greater in strategy than is brute instinct, and raced in an angle from the fleeing cattle.
Then he set the door in its place and rode straight for Bracefort. When he reached the hill-top he saw some one riding upward; and galloping down soon found himself face to face with Lady Eleanor.
With two or three lesser officers a general, galloping by it from behind, had drawn up on a slight rise at the southwest corner of the fire-swept field, taken one glance across it and said, "Hilary, can your ladies' men waltz into action in the face of those guns?" "They can dance the figure, General." "Take them in."
Cossedo can do other things besides walk the tight-rope, juggle five balls at once, and stand on his head on the back of a galloping horse.

How long could the poor girl hang on like that? Not much longer, I was sure, yet prayed that she might have strength. Then, ahead of us, in the distant moonlight, I discerned other galloping figures.
