Bunty gave a shuddering glance at the whip. "N-n-nothin'," he answered "n nothin' at all. My c c cricket b ball was up in the st st stables. I was only p p playin' marbles." The Captain gave him a little shake. "Did you lame Mazeppa with the cricket ball?" he said sternly. "N n no I n never," Bunty whispered, white to the lips.
The wild horse uttered a passionate cry, and sprang forward like the bolt from a cross-bow. And now commenced a race, which, if not as prolonged, was at least as furious as that of the far-famed Mazeppa. Dick was a splendid rider, however, at least as far as "sticking on" goes.
Kale Fisher, the Famous Mazeppa, involved Manager Hemmings charged by Fast-paced Mrs. Bethune with Larceny.
"Well, well, my dear, perhaps you are right," he replied good- humouredly. "I also have a confession to make, missy. Just before Rover cantered up, with you holding on to his tail like Mazeppa lashed to the back of the fiery untamed steed of the desert, a blackbird flew out of your blackberry thicket, brushing past my face, and do you know it startled me so that I jumped back, losing my hat.
I don't shine in the field, as Miss Tempest does." "Oh, but you must come, Mab. The Duke will find you a safe mount." "She has a hunter I bred on purpose for her," said the Duke; "but she'll never be such a horsewoman as her mother." "She looks lovely on Mazeppa," said Rorie; "and she must come to my hunting breakfast." "Of course, Rorie, if you wish I shall come."
For example, the "Mazeppa" symphony, based on Victor Hugo's poem, gets its significance, not in view of its description of Mazeppa's peril and rescue, but because this famous ride becomes the symbol of man: "Lie vivant sur la croupe fatale, Genie, ardent Coursier." The spiritual life of this thought burns with subtile suggestions throughout the whole symphony.
The King of Sweden met with many remarkable adventures and encountered very serious difficulties before he reached his own kingdom, but it would be foreign to the subject of this history to relate them here. As to Mazeppa, he made his escape too, with the King of Sweden, across the frontier.
"Not such a one as greeted Mazeppa on regaining his senses, Frank; rather insecure, 'tis true, yet somewhat better than the canvas covering for which we have been so grateful of late." Dr. Bryant leaned his elbow on the mantel-piece, and fell into a fit of musing, not unusual to him since leaving San Antonio. The servant disturbed his reverie by requesting room for her cooking utensils.
We had considerable difficulty in crossing, the water reaching to our horses' saddles, and the banks being very steep. By the time we had all forded the sun had risen. All the other drifts on the river were occupied by the enemy, our scouts reporting that Mazeppa Drift, three miles down stream, was entrenched by a strong English force, as was the case with Kalkfontein Drift, a little higher up.
He found time to wish fervently Esther was a tidy woman. "Nothing at all, Bunty? On your word?" said his father, in an impressive tone. "I was p playin' marbles," he said, in a shaking voice. "How c c could I have sh shot anything at y y your old horse?" "Horse ah!" said his father. A light broke upon him, and his face grew stern. "What did you throw at Mazeppa to lame him? Answer me at once."
