It is the rainless summer time; no sound save the congress of the coyotes, or the notes of the mountain owl, disturbs the dreams of the campers. Don Miguel, in happiest mood, canters beside his wife. The party has its scouts far in advance. Resting places in fragrant woods, with pure brooks and tender grass, mark the care of the outriders.
"His eyes twinkled in his heed aright, As doon the sterres in the frosty night." Our eyes and ears distinctly perceive the jolly Monk, as he canters along: "And, whan he rood, men might his brydel here Ginglen in a whistling wind as clere, And eek as loude as dooth the chapel-belle."

There goes the first boom of cannon from the Russian side, and a round shot sends the earth spluttering amidst the staff as it canters by once more, plumes waving, and epaulets, and scabbards, and gold lace, and all the fine tinsel of war, as yet unsoiled, glittering in the sunshine. This is no day for a cavalryman to win honour.

When Christopher and indeed both of them have had enough of the game, the pony calmly stops at the stable door.
Temperance canters say that, 'it is unlawful to drink a glass of ale. Unmanly canters say that 'it is unlawful to use one's fists. The writer begs leave to tell both these species of canters that they do not speak the words of truth. 'No, said I, 'I do not mean to go to church. 'May I ask thee wherefore? said Peter.
The wonderful loveliness of the double colonnade of polished granite pillars on the polished pale grey marble floor; fantastic, like transfigured pools and streams of purest water. May 9.
