A narrow pass, not twenty feet in width, was the only entrance to the basin, and this was securely fastened up with long poles. Over this old Huckleberry clambered, and as he walked into the basin, a couple of horses feeding there greeted him with a welcoming neigh.
About one hundred yards behind the rearmost of the dismounted party, came the troopers who remained on horseback; and it seemed as if even the irrational animals were sensible to Cromwell's orders, for the horses did not neigh, and even appeared to place their feet on the earth cautiously, and with less noise than usual.
Now come we to the battle of our dreams, The trumpets neigh, the ranks are closing fast In that stern silence that men keep who know This hour may be their last That they, like us, may riven and useless lie Ere once again the bright steel greets the sun.

If any unusual cloud of dust, any moving shade, appeared afar, if the tramp of horses in the lane were heard, or neigh of a colt from the four-cross roads, people at dinner would start up and cry, "The French, the French have landed!" while the men in the fields would get nearer the hedge to peep through it, and then run away down the ditch.
He had hurt his leg, and his kind mistress had tied it up with a piece of faded red calico and an end of ragged rope. He gave us a civil neigh, and looked at us curiously.
The birds pitifully twittered. Even the leaves rustled in response to those terrible quivers. The cattle were a red streak at the end of the perspective.
