My son made a careful examination and sketch for me of a dun Belgian cart-horse with a double stripe on each shoulder and with leg-stripes; and a man, whom I can implicitly trust, has examined for me a small dun Welch pony with three short parallel stripes on each shoulder.
You may see what I mean by considering that while he longed for nothing so much in later life as the possession of Broome Park, and that while his selfishness stopped hardly at anything to enrich that house with pictures, china, and furniture, and that while he would shamelessly hint for things in the houses of the people who were entertaining him, even in the houses of his own subordinates, until the weaker or the more timorous gave him the object of his covetousness, nevertheless for the sake of his country he clung to the uncongenial chair in Whitehall, not merely working like a cart-horse for what he considered to be his nation's good, but suffering without public complaint of any kind, and scarcely a private grumble, all the numerous humiliations that came his way either from his own colleagues in the Cabinet or from a powerful section of the newspapers outside.
Yes, it would be something terrific, if only he could catch it. For a long time an idea had been stirring and spreading, yeastily, in his mind. He had made a portfolio full of studies, he had drawn a cartoon; and now the idea was taking shape on canvas. A man fallen from a horse. The huge animal, a gaunt white cart-horse, filled the upper half of the picture with its great body.
Proceeded across the McDouall range, and camped on a grassy plain between it and Mount Samuel. The natives followed us nearly to Tennant Creek, raising a line of smoke all the way. They kept about a mile to the east of us, on some rising ground that runs nearly parallel with my tracks. We have had to lighten a heavy cart-horse named Charley.
A complete, equable circulation of the blood is thereby most perfectly secured. And this, I may remark, is in one aspect the physiological purpose of all exercise. The race-horse has a much more vigorous circulation than the cart-horse.
'Tell me, he said, in the stern, low voice of a despot; 'tell me who that creature is. 'Which creature? asked Lord Bagshot. 'Booby! brute! Bag, that creature of light and love! 'Where? 'There! 'What, my mother? 'Your mother! cub! cart-horse! answer me, or I will run you through. 'Who do you mean? 'There, there, dancing with that raw-boned youth with red hair. 'What, Lord St. Jerome!
Moreover, I didn't run into anything. Two horses ran into me. I was coming down past the Shambles into Duck Bank very slowly, because I could hear a tram coming along from the market-place and just as I got past the Shambles and could see along the market-place, I saw a lad on a cart-horse and leading another horse. No stirrups, no saddle.
Tewfik, a white Egyptian ass, bought in Cairo by Lord Wolseley. Two Shetland ponies one, The Skewbald, three feet six inches high; another, a dark brown mare like a miniature cart-horse. The royal herd of fifty cows in milk, chiefly shorthorns and Jerseys. An enormous bison named Jack, obtained in exchange for a Canadian bison from the Zoological Gardens.
It was so unlike any thing I had foreseen, that I could scarcely believe that it was real. "They are not Frenchwomen, Monsieur le Curé," observed the driver, after a short pause. We were travelling slowly, for the curé would not allow the peasant to whip on the shaggy cart-horse.
Bucephalus and I chanced to be near the spot at the time, so we managed to pull him out between us." "I don't like Bucephalus," observed Miss Peppy, stirring her tea with her egg-spoon by mistake.
