Another mile, and the fox ran in sight scarcely a furlong off; but many of the horses were distressed: the Bassetts, however, kept up, one by his horse being fresh, the other by his animal's native courage and speed. Then came some meadows, bounded by a thick hedge, and succeeded by a plowed field of unusual size eighty acres.
Where, in his youth, he had climbed the woody bluff, and looked abroad on prairies dotted with bison, he saw, with the dim eye of his old age, the land darkened for many a furlong with the clustered roofs of the western metropolis.
Pop's elbows stuck straight out, he held the reins high and leaned far over Smoky's neck, his eyes glaring. Bud oh, never worry about Bud! In the years that lay between thirteen and twenty-one Bud had learned a good many things, and one of them was how to get out of a horse all the speed there was in him. They went past the quarter-post and a furlong beyond before either could pull up.
These two questions, though not mutually exclusive, differ as much as the question of why one of two balloons rises above the earth to a height of three miles and a furlong, while a second balloon reaches the height of three miles only, differs from the question of why either of them rises in the air at all.

"Oh, he has won, he has won!" cried the girl in the big hat, springing up on a chair in ecstasy. "No; it 's the blue by a neck," said her father. "I congratulate you, Snowden. But that 's a great horse. It 's well that it was not a furlong farther." "I think so," said the owner of the winner, hurrying away. "They have cheated him. I am sure he won," asserted the young lady.
Not a furlong farther, I came suddenly upon a house by the roadside, and a man coming out of the door with a light at the same moment enabled me to see "Vendéglo" on a small signboard. Good-luck: here, then, was an inn, where at least shelter was possible; and shelter was much to be desired, seeing that the rain was now a steady downpour. On making inquiries, I found that I was already in Büksad.
"But, as it 'appens, a furlong this side of Ibbetson's you'll find the very place. Take Arthur Miles along with you. He'll be thankful for it, later on an' I'll loan you a cake o' soap." "Where the hazel bank is steepest, Where the shadow falls the deepest, Where the clustering nuts fall free, That's the way for Billy and me."
"And when you feel the hill against you shove her for a furlong. Don't ride her out. And no fancy pranks, mind." "And sit still," said the girl. "Jerry, you take him along," continued the trainer. The lads made sundry guttural noises in their throats, leaned forward as though to whisper in their horses' ears, and stole easily away.
In fact, if they didn't demand it, he would." Before so many, Bert Dodge had to appear brave. "I demand the first meeting for satisfaction," Bert insisted. "And I think you may count on getting the first meeting," nodded Furlong coolly. "Now, Mr. Dodge, to whom shall I look as your friend?" "Let me act!" begged Dennison hoarsely.
Fellows like yearling Dodge cannot be taught. They can only be insulted to the fighting point, and then pummelled. Cadet Furlong went to considerable inconvenience, though uncomplainingly, for two young women whom he had not the pleasure of knowing. "So this is Flirtation Walk?" asked Belle Meade.
