What's the good of my keeping a stable of first-class horses at the service of a lot of mush-heads who don't even know how to use 'em? All they do is ruin 'em. In a week or two, after a good horse is put in the stable, he's not fit for a gentleman to ride.

The leaderless insurgents stared at Caradoc's still form, then began filing out of the cabin. "Deschaillon, get that medicine chest out of my bag!"
