"Bold words," said the Villicus; "we'll give you a chance to prove them." Another filly was roped, bitted, bridled, and saddled, and her captors invited me to mount. "Pooh!" said I. "Let some one else ride her. I don't need all those preliminaries.
He has "bitted the bull-mouthed breaker" and ridden it in, and the pride in the feat shows in the carriage of his magnificent body as he glances for a moment carelessly at you who sit in the shade of the shore. He is a Kanaka and more, he is a man, a member of the kingly species that has mastered matter and the brutes and lorded it over creation.
Finding that he was not understood, the Emir turned to Ibrahim to bid him say that the Hakim's friend should have the finest barb in his stable bitted and bridled, and if he would descend and then mount and try the present himself in a ride round the enclosure, the gift would be rendered doubly valuable to its recipient.
But champion as he became, and worshipping as his manner seemed, it all might easily have been put down to a warm, chivalrous, and spontaneous nature, which had not been bitted or bridled, and he might have landed at Quebec without committing himself, were it not for the fact that he was not to land at Quebec. That was the fact which controlled his destiny.
He wanted no patients this night; but from the peremptory sound of the bell he was sure some one had come who needed medicine or the knife, and he could refuse neither; for was he not at everybody's beck and call, the Medicine Man whose door was everybody's door! "Damnation!" he said aloud, and turned towards the door expectantly. Then he bitted himself to wait; and he did not wait long.
When we returned here everybody kept saying, 'the captain, the captain. If I want the carriage 'the captain. Is there a bill to pay 'the captain. If my horse is not properly bitted, they must speak to Captain Paz. In short, it is like a game of dominoes Paz is everywhere. I hear of nothing but Paz, but I never see Paz. Who and what is Paz? Why don't you bring forth your Paz?"
We brought the other end to the captain, and hove in upon it until we came to the slip-rope, which we took to the windlass, and walked her up to her chain, the captain helping her by backing and filling the sails. The chain is then passed through the hawse-hole and round the windlass, and bitted, the slip-rope taken round outside and brought into the stern port, and she is safe in her old berth.
The piper turned, and pointed to a neighbouring tree, and they saw an old white horse ready bitted, bridled, and saddled. He slung the pipe across his back, and, taking the torch in his hand, got upon the horse, and started off before them, as hard as he could go. The wood grew thinner and thinner, and the ground began to slope up toward the mountain.
At this time the wind was west south-west; she had the main top-mast struck, the fore and mizzen top-gallant mast on deck, and the jib-boom in. At three a pilot came on board, when they were about two leagues west from Portland; the cables were ranged and bitted, and the jib-boom got out.
I generally have my horses so bitted that they can't very well object. And as to the other question, I mean to stay here for the next fortnight, and I advise you to make it square with Miss Roanoke. Here's my lady's cousin; for a man who doesn't ride often, he went very well to-day." "I wonder if he'd take a twenty-pound note if I sent it to him," said Frank, when they broke up for the night.
