Th' filly's honest, and ye'r honest sir, but ye don't roide th' mare yerself, do ye?" "You think, Mike " began Mr. Porter, questioningly; but Gaynor interrupted him with: "I don't think nothin', sir, an' I ain't sayin' nothin.
"A crabbing beast! It was just like my luck that he should come up at that moment and have the supreme joy of seeing Gamble " Gamble was the filly's rarely-used name "wallowing in the ditch! That's the second time he's scored off me. I pity poor little Maudie Spicer for having such a brother!" In spite of this discouraging début, the filly's education went on and prospered.
Beside him, also beaming, sat Mr. Goodfellow, with the corner cupboard nursed between his knees. "Capital news, lad!" announced Mr. Rogers, climbing down from the tilbury. "The filly's pretty near dead-beat, though must see to her and cool her down before telling it. Now, then, Mr. Goodfellow, if you'll hand out the cupboard. By the way, sonny, I hope Miss Plinlimmon can give us breakfast.
"It's the biggest tip that always falls down, Gaynor; and they've got to be pretty swift to beat Lucretia." "That filly's all right; she's worked out well enough to do up that field of stiffs. I ain't no rail bird, but I've hed me eye on her. But I ain't doin' no stunt about horses, Mister Porter; I'm talkin' about men.
Oh! to get back to where they could send the good news flying to the absent owner of San Leon! "Let's go home!" cried the girl, running to the Zaraza's side and trying to saddle her. But Jim would not let her do that, though he did not seek to hinder her from going, and when she had sprung to her seat upon the filly's back, he held out his hand, saying: "I'll come soon's I can, Dolly Doodles!
"Put your finger in the filly's ear, and throw behind whatever you find in it." He got a splinter of grey stone, and in a twinkling there were twenty miles, by breadth and height, of great grey rock behind them. The giant came full pelt, but past the rock he could not go.
"Trouble, trouble, trouble, like gnats on a filly's flank!" and in spluttering words, twice bracketed in muscadella, he told of Michel de la Foret's arrest, and of his purpose to go to England if he could get a boat to take him. "'Tis that same business brings me here," said Buonespoir, and forthwith told of his meeting with Angele and what was then agreed upon.
To her whispers of affected, half-terrified interest, he responded in whispers that the captive was really in the filly's stall, securely bound by his wrists behind his back, and his feet "hobbled" to a post. That Lanty couldn't see him, for it was dark inside, and he was sitting with his back to the wall, as he couldn't sleep comf'ble lyin' down.
He removed the saddle from Captain Jack, took the rope from the filly's neck, threw the horses some hay and on the dry ground under the shed by the corral, lay down and went to sleep. For fourteen hours, without rest, the Ramblin' Kid had ridden. The sun was up when Sing Pete electrified the Quarter Circle KT into life and action by the jangle of the iron triangle sending out the breakfast call.
"I will leave the tools here, and I will return no more." "If you leave 'em, leave 'em," says the hoodie, "we will steal 'em, steal 'em." "Do that if you will; there is no time to go back." At the time of breaking the watch, the giant's daughter said that she felt her father's breath burning her back. "Look in the filly's ear, king's son, or else we are lost."
