Of course you've seen the pony tracks, and what's queer is that many of them head over towards the very point where this smoke is drifting from. Looks as if they'd jumped some wagons and burned them." Meantime, Mr. Davies had slowly mounted and was urging his reluctant horse into some semblance of a canter.
He would willingly have accompanied them. He bade them farewell with regret, which was softened by the hope expressed by all of a speedy meeting. 'I wish, Captain Armine, said Miss Temple, 'we had your turf to canter home upon. 'By-the-bye, Captain Armine, said Mr.
In the energy of his pursuit, he had overcome even the Highland obstinacy of Rory Bean, and compelled that self-willed palfrey to canter the way his rider chose; which Rory, however, performed with all the symptoms of reluctance, turning his head, and accompanying every bound he made in advance with a sidelong motion, which indicated his extreme wish to turn round, a manoeuvre which nothing but the constant exercise of the Laird's heels and cudgel could possibly have counteracted.
A fine game did Dick have of it, for as soon as ever he stopped and gave a farewell bark as much as to say, "There, I've done" and began to retrace his steps, the sheep would come to a stand-still, stare after him as though he were some unknown monster, never before seen or heard of, and then begin to follow him up, slowly at first, but afterwards at a canter.
It was not long before he appeared at a smart canter. He did not see me in the tree, but his horse did, and propping, snorted wildly, and gave a backward run. Harold spurred him, he bucked spiritedly. Harold now saw me and sang out: "I say, don't frighten him any more or he'll fling me, saddle and all. I haven't got a crupper or a breastplate." "Why haven't you, then? Hang on to him.
"Sit still!" panted our hero to the young woman, who had arisen to the seat. "I'll have him stopped in half a minute now!" It was in less time than that, for the horse, finding it impossible to shake off the grip of Tom, began to slow from a gallop to a trot, then to a canter, and finally to a slow walk. A moment later the horse had stopped, breathing heavily from his run.
Billy hung up. A little later he was talking to Wago. Once out of Rickett, Barry pulled the stallion back to an easy canter. He had camped during the latter part of the night near the town and ridden in in the morning, so that Satan was full of running. He rebelled now against this easy pace, and tossed his head with impatience.
But he had to give up by and by his daily canter in Rotten Row, and more reluctantly still his continental travel. Foreign railways were closed to him by the Salle d'Attente; he could not stand incarceration in the waiting-rooms. The last time he crossed the Channel was at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, on a visit to his old friend M. Thiers, then President.
Every trot is a jog, and so, for that matter, is every canter. A dog-trot takes its name from the even motion of the smaller quadruped, when it is seized with no particular mania, and is yet disposed to go stubbornly forward. It is in more classical dialect, the festina lente motion. It is regularly forward, and therefore fast it never puts the animal out of breath, and is therefore slow.
"You must cut and haul the necessary posts and timber before my return, and when we pass north, my outfit will build you a chute and brand your cattle the same day. Have the materials on the ground, and I'll bring any needful hardware from the railroad." A short canter brought the committee to the big bend.
