The brute neighed with delight as Carlos flung saddle and aquera into place, then, with La Pérdida in his arms, sprang upon its back. The vaquero dug his spurs into the shining flanks, the mustang reared, shook his small head and silver mane, and bounded through the doors. A lean, bent, and wiry thing darted from the shadows and hung upon the horse's neck.
The horse neighed again a sound strident and virile, the challenge of a creature of perfect muscle, hot desire, and proud, quick-coursing blood. Afterwards, an instant's pause, and Chifney's voice again, "So-ho my beauty take it easy steady there, steady, good lad," and the slap of his open hand on the horse's shoulder straightening it carefully into place.

There was a crash of pistol shots, a rumble of hoofs and the instant command of Harris. "Roll out! Roll out!" he called. "Saddles! On your horses."
Your watching and warding are at end." He rode into the Dark Valley. There was a roaring of unseen rivers in the darkness, of black cataracts rushing down the steep sides of the Valley.

Joan asked of the shining black silk waistcoat that gleamed beside her. "Oh, you know...." neighed Mr. Forsyth. "It's all right, you know. The old Bishop's kind enough." "Bishop Clematis?" said Joan.

And as soon as the horse saw a knight standing before him, he neighed loudly, and let Ivan saddle and bridle him.
