Then he shook the bridle, shouted loudly, and guided Pegasus, not aslantwise as before, but straight at the monster's hideous front.
Again she paused a moment before taking up the story. "Well, his ship the Pegasus was bringing him home after two years on the Australian station. . . . Heaven help me! I'm an old sportswoman now, and understand something of the male animal and his passions.
PEGASUS. By the winged horse Pegasus the ancients meant the understanding of truth, by which comes wisdom; by the hoofs of his feet they understood experiences, whereby comes natural intelligence, 182.

Or a horse-doctor elevating his eye-brow with a contemptuous smile and turning away, as from an innocent, when you speak of the wings of that fine horse, Pegasus!

Some day I must try water-colours, or pastels. Sans doute ça ira mieux." He was off on his Pegasus now, far above Mrs Mayhew's bewildered head.
"To wind and turn a fiery Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship."

Pegasus immediately started from the ground and pranced about a quarter of a mile aloft, and made a grand sweep around the mountain top by way of showing that he was wide awake and ready for any kind of an excursion.
