"My dearest misanthrope," I replied, "what you need is some horse-riding." Maintenant que la belle saison étale les splendeurs de sa robe. Listen! A note is struck which, with an old magic, transforms the world!
"He belongs to the horse-riding, if you please, sir." Mr. Gradgrind frowned, and waved off the objectionable calling with his hand. "We don't want to know anything about that here. Your father breaks horses, don't he?" "If you please, sir, when they can get any to break, they do break horses in the ring." "You mustn't tell us about the ring here. Very well, then.
Horse-riding, bathing in the Seine, spectacles, dinners under the leafy covert of the trees, balls on the banks of the grand canal, concerts, etc., etc.; all this would have been sufficient to have killed, not a slight and delicate woman, but the strongest porter in the chateau.
Those vile, horse-riding, murdering, thieving nomad Indians of the plains those homeless, wandering, plundering violators of women and butchers of children, had nothing whatever in common with our forest Indians of the East were a totally different race of people, mentally, spiritually, and physically. And these two species must ever remain distinct the Gens des Prairies and the Gens du Bois.
But from the East we came, and from that central plain of Asia, now commonly called Iran. Iran, the habitation of the tillers and earers of the earth, as opposed to Turan, the abode of restless horse-riding nomads; of Turks, in short, for in their name the root survives, and still distinguishes the great Turanian or Mongolian family, from the Aryan, Iranian, or Indo-European race.

To these parties persons of all sorts would come: young bloods from the regiments garrisoned in Dublin: young clerks from the Castle; horse-riding, wine-tippling, watchman-beating men of fashion about town, such as existed in Dublin in that day more than in any other city with which I am acquainted in Europe. I never knew young fellows make such a show, and upon such small means.
This is not to be wondered at when we reflect how little the Japanese are accustomed to horse-riding at home, and what small opportunities they have of acquiring that knowledge of the management of horses which comes instinctively to the English groom, to the Irish farmer's son, or to the field labourer.
The bold man who risked everything to save the Calliope will never earn as much in a year as a horse-riding manikin can in two months. That is the way we encourage our finest merit.
Around them seven men, armed with guns and parangs, were dancing with excitement. Iris's captors were endeavoring to tie her arms, but she was a strong and active Englishwoman, with muscles well knit by the constant labor of recent busy days and a frame developed by years of horse-riding and tennis-playing.
