"I say," said Harris, as blithe as a lark, "has old Wingate been here?" "Been here?" I cried, "I should hope not!" "The whole thing's out, you know," said Harris, pulling Gypsy's forelock over her eyes and blowing playfully into her nostrils. "You don't mean it!" I gasped. "Yes, I do, and we are to pay Wingate three dollars apiece. He'll make rather a good spec out of it."

Harry had now gained the fence and had already begun to loosen the reins when Alec, out of breath and highly indignant over the refusal to carry out his warning, reached his side.
