Christian was thirteen years old before what was left of one of the Hunt horses, after seven strenuous seasons of official work, was placed at her sole disposal.

She missed the fish-net draperies and cozy corners and the usual clap-trap of amateur studios. But she's educated up to it now, and it's a daily joy to me. On the other hand my broiled steaks and feather-weight waffles and first-class coffee are a joy to poor Henry, who can't even boil an egg properly, and who hasn't the first instinct of home-making."
It's the fellow with the feather-weight touch that does the best work with the revolver. He is the man to look out for." "That's the way I always shoot," declared Chunky pompously.

Of course the man is hot, you are not a feather-weight; but what is to be done?" "I don't know, but I won't go on with him, it's simply disgusting; he might let himself out as a watering-cart."
