Once thus Chrysler met Libergent driving Grandmoulin in a "buck-board," while another person sat in the back seat. "Chrysler! Chrysler! Listen!" exclaimed the person in the back seat. Chrysler recognized an Ottawa acquaintance. "De Bleury! how do you do!" De Bleury put his hand on the reins to stop the vehicle: "Come up here, Chrysler, we go past the Manoir."

But Mr Inglis had now taken the reins from Sam, and had mounted to his seat; so that nothing remained but for Fred to follow his example, for the train would soon be due at the station though the boys were rather in hopes that they would be too late, and so secure another day; but Mr Inglis knew what uneasiness this would cause to friends in town, so he prepared to start at once.
Betty saved herself from going over his head by a skillful lunge backward, pulling sharply on the reins. But the horse did not so easily regain his foot-hold. The edge of the bank crumbled. Betty did not utter a sound, but the girls behind her screamed in unison. "Stop! Wait! She'll be killed!"

Shashai tossed his head partly in nervous irritation at the creaking saddle, partly in the joy of motion, and joy won the day. Then Peggy began to draw slightly upon her reins. The colt shook his head impatiently as though asking: "Wherefor the need? I know exactly where you wish to go." "Oh, my bonny one, my bonny one, that is just it!
He had seen that boy not long since on the other side of the mountains, riding his horse at a gallop down the county road with his reins in his teeth, and shooting a pistol alternately at the sun and the earth with either hand.

Sergeant, you fill all the canteens; take any supplies you find here. Then we’ll move out." Drew, his wrists corded to the saddle horn, both ankles lashed to the stirrups, swayed in the saddle as Shannon took the reins of his horse and led it along.
