The donkey trotted down the slopes gayly, the harness rattling, the cart swaying, jolting, making an amazing noise. The donkey cocked his ears, flecked his tail, even indulged in one or two buck-jumps, as he rattled down the hilly roads. Denis Donohoe once or twice leaned out over the shaft, and brought his open hand down on the haunch of the donkey, but it was more a caress than a whack.
