My only object in having come to see you is to lend you a helping hand in the matter. Look here.

True, at home the skewbald got none but the poorer sorts of oats to eat, and Selifan never filled his trough without having first called him a villain; but at least they WERE oats, and not hay they were stuff which could be chewed with a certain amount of relish. But at Nozdrev's there had been nothing but hay! That was not right. All three horses felt greatly discontented.
