"Mr. Graves is dead," he whispered, "and my sister " "Oh, I'm so sorry for her, Mr. Waldstricker," cried Tess, struggling up. Deforrest stepped forward to Ebenezer's side and supported her. "Yes, you would be," the elder asserted.
"He never lost a race in his whole life!" cried the Muley Cow, who was walking just ahead of them. "Ebenezer used to be known as the fastest horse in these parts. He had a record." Twinkleheels gasped. "A record!" he exclaimed. "What's that?" "I don't know, exactly," said the Muley Cow. "I never saw Ebenezer's.
