She looked at us with a smile, and made a little courteous gesture with her hand; then turning to the attendants she said: "Lead him yonder to the cross at the entrance to the church; I will mount him there." Snorting and struggling, casting foam flakes from his lips, and fighting every inch of the way, the great charger was led whither the Maid had said.
'The devil can do his business in one, was the retort, and Schwartz Thier swung himself on his broad-backed charger, and gored the fine beast till she rattled out a blast of sparkles from the flint. In a minute he drew up in front of Margarita. 'So! you prefer settling this business in the square. Good! my choice sweetheart! and he sprang to her side.
Such are the uncertainties of war! To strap on my sabre and my accoutrements to mount my Arab charger to drink off what O'Gawler had left of the sangaree and to gallop to the General, was the work of a moment. I found him as comfortably at tiffin as if he were at his own house in London. "The enemy psha! Mr. Gahagan, the enemy is on the other side of the river."
It was one hundred and seventy pounds of trained flesh, iron nerve, and sinewy muscle that he encountered. The missionary sprang to meet his adversary like a charger rushing to battle. For an instant only they grappled, when Keith, seizing Pritchen by the throat, hurled him back over the bar with a sickening thud. The boaster was pinned as in a vise.
Gun-carriage and reversed arms and bay charger, faithful comrades with bent heads, the voice of victory over the grave "I am the resurrection and the life" the volleys of honour, the proud salut of the brave to the vanished brave, the quivering farewells of the few who turn away from the fresh-piled earth with their hearts dragging behind all had been; and all had gone.

I gave him a sharp scolding, for it was kicking up its hind legs like mad; but he only looked up in my face and laughed. "It's my charger, granny," he says, "and he smells the battle-field; that's why he's so excited!"
I put my hand behind to ascertain the state of matters, and found both the heroes still in such an excited condition that I said if they were disposed to break another lance in the same lists I was quite willing to keep my place, provided Sir Charles would take my charger in hand and lead him on to participate in the pleasing conflict.
