It was no little satisfaction to think, as we hobbled along, that the accident had happened through no carelessness of mine, beyond that of cantering in the dark, for I was on my own side of the road. Had Geoffrey been on his, narrow as the lane was, we might have passed without injury. It was so late when we reached Gastford, that we had to rouse the ostler before I could get Lilith attended to.
'Thank you. That will suit me admirably, I am going Gastford way. Have you ever been there? 'No, I answered. 'I have only just heard the name of the village. 'It is a pretty place. But there's the oddest old church you ever saw, within a couple of miles of it alone in the middle of a forest or at least it was a forest not long ago. It is mostly young trees now.
When I took Lilith by the bridle to lead her away, I found that neither of us could manage more than two miles an hour. I was very uneasy about her. There was nothing for it, however, but make the best of our way to Gastford.
It would be better to ride to the village of Gastford, somewhere about two miles off, put up there, and arrange for future proceedings. I did not know the way, and for a long time could see no one to ask. The consequence was that I made a wide round, and it was nearly dark before I reached the village. I thought it better for the present to feed Lilith, and then make the best of my way home.
Lilith remained at Gastford a week before I judged it safe for her to come home. The injury, however, turned out to be a not very serious one. Why should I write of my poor mare but that she was once hers all for whose hoped perusal I am writing this?
