Jealousy had been added to her other torments; he was ever by Lady Gwendoline's side of late ever at Drexel Court. His father had set his heart upon the match; she was graceful and high-bred; it would end in a marriage, no doubt. There were times when she woke from her jealous anger to rage at herself. "What a dog in the manger I grow," she said, with a bitter laugh.
Keith was glad that patient enemy was not following him. Keith's inspection of the young girl had inflamed his interest. It was an unusual face high-bred and fine. Humor lurked about the corners of her mouth; but resolution also might be read there. And Keith knew how those big, dark eyes could flash. And she was manifestly having a good time all to herself.

They had a special objection to carrying fresh water, and nearly always bolted when they discovered it was "Adam's ale" that was swishing about on the outside of their hump.
