The red velvet curtains at the windows, when drawn at night, permitted no ray of light to escape; the carpet was a gorgeous Brussels affair, the like of which both as to cost and enduring splendor was not to be found elsewhere on any floor in Mount Hope.
In an instant Peggy had wheeled her mount and was beside the poor frightened creature; frightened because his blood had asserted itself and he had literally outdone himself.
There was a metallic ring in the duke's voice as he spoke. "I have heard, Mr. Carvel, that you can ride any mount offered you." "Od's, and so he can!" cried Jack. "I'll take oath on that." "I will lay you an hundred guineas, my Lord," says his Grace, very off-hand, "that Mr. Carvel does not sit Baltimore's Pollux above twenty minutes." "Done!" says Jack, before I could draw breath.
