Well-pleased, Janardana also gave them a thousand mares with gold harnesses and of colour white as the beams of the moon. He also gave them a thousand mules, all well-trained and possessing the speed of the wind, of white colour with black manes.
Well-trained mistresses, who know how to work themselves and who have a democratic sense of human values, seldom have trouble in securing able servants, even in this transition time when the shops and factories are calling so loudly to working girls.

It was curious to sit on the piazza and watch the out-door scenes as they presented themselves to the eye.
Grevin was then over fifty; he feared to die, and saw no chance of marrying his daughter as he wished under the Restoration for her, he had had ambition. Under these circumstances he was shrewd enough to make Phileas ask her in marriage. Severine Grevin, a well-trained young lady and handsome, was considered at that time the best match in Arcis.
To Big Tom and his men had been given the post of honour, and it was well-known that such was his skill as a leader, and so well was he backed up by his well-trained, stalwart men, that unless some great accident happened, no brigade following would have any chance of catching up to him ere his journey was finished.
