Then the earth-stopper draws nigh, and, resting a hand on Tom's horse's shoulder, whispers confidentially in his ear. The pedestrian sportsman of the country, too, has something to say; also a horse-breaker; while groups of awe-stricken children stand staring at the mighty Tom, thinking him the greatest man in the world.
He was back before his prisoner could do more than wrench at his bonds, and with him he brought his lariat and his canteen. "What are you going to do?" José inquired, backing away until he was once more at bay. "I'm going to give you a drink." "Whisky? You think you can make me drunk?" The horse-breaker laughed loudly but uneasily. "Not whisky; water. I'm going to give you a drink of water."
The scene with the dancers in the foreground on the green sward, and the lake and mountains in the distance, was one of the most poetical I ever beheld. Turf had been ridden from Keswick to Penrith by the horse-breaker already mentioned, and with infinite difficulty.
Would they not have given their First, and their fellowship in embryo to boot, to have had the morning appetite of Tom Chauntrell, the horse-breaker, after twelve pipes overnight, with gin and water to match, or to have been able, like Joe Springett, the under keeper, to breast the steepest brae in Cumberland with never a sob or a painful breath?
Who can argue with a woman?" sneered José. Alaire, who had listened smilingly, now intervened to avert a serious quarrel. "When the train arrives," she told her horse-breaker, "I want you to find General Longorio and ask him to come here." "But, señora!" José was dumfounded, shocked. "He is a great general " "Give him this note."
Old Mr Duppo, it was the father of Zack Duppo, the horse-breaker, who had recently been breaking in colts at Moongarr. They stayed till the horses were found. Mr Duppo had a housekeeper now if Mrs Hensor had been like that housekeeper there could have been no cause for jealous scandal.
So did the third visitor, Fawcett, the horse-breaker, who leaned back, his long, thin legs, with their boxcloth riding-gaiters, thrust out in front of him, tapping his protruding teeth with his riding-whip, with anxious thought in every line of his rugged, bony face. Publican, exquisite, and horse-breaker were all three equally silent, equally earnest, and equally critical.
The horse-breaker will set the timid colt in harness with the steady mare. Thus is stiffening and a sense of security imparted to the weaker spirit; timidity oozes and is burned by the steady flame of courage that from the stronger emanates. In the heat of that flame latent strength warms and kindles in the weaker. Gain strength from strength.
The three backers rubbed their hands when they saw him at work punching the ball in the gymnasium next morning; and Fawcett, the horse-breaker, who had written to Leeds to hedge his bets, sent a wire to cancel the letter, and to lay another fifty at the market price of seven to one. Montgomery's chief difficulty was to find time for his training without any interference from the doctor.
He's a good boy. He's got points I'd like to know I possess. He's his father over again, without his father's experience. Say, he's a blood colt that needs the horse-breaker of Life, and, unless he gets it, all the fine points in him are going to get blunted and useless, and there's things in him going to grow up and queer him for life.
