Jabez grew quite moped during the weeks that followed, for he was not even allowed to come into the kitchen for a comforting cup of tea as of old. "And if anybody can't have a bit of a clack sometimes," groaned poor Jabez, "nor a cup of tea neither, why he might so well be dumb to once. I've ackshally got to talk to the 'orses and the cat to keep my powers of speech from leaving me."
"Only think! well, if he made a good king, what a wonderful king the groom would have made, through whose knowledge of 'orses he was put on the throne. And now another question, Mr. Romany Rye, have you particular words which have power to soothe or aggravate horses?" "You should ask me," said I, "whether I have horses that can be aggravated or soothed by particular words.
Turn your horse out to grass throughout May and the first part of June, for then the grass is sweetest, and the flies don't sting so bad as they do later in summer; afterwards merely turn him out occasionally in the swale of the morn and the evening; after September the grass is good for little, lash and sour at best; every horse should go out to grass, if not his blood becomes full of greasy humours, and his wind is apt to become affected, but he ought to be kept as much as possible from the heat and flies, always got up at night, and never turned out late in the year Lord! if I had always such a nice attentive person to listen to me as you are, I could go on talking about 'orses to the end of time."
"His lordship don't know nothing about the vicarage," bellowed out the butler, opening the hall-door only half way, so that his face just appeared above the lock. "Oh, dear! oh, dear!" said Mrs. Wilkinson. "Just let me down into the hall, and then I will explain it to you." "Them 'orses 'll be foundered as sure as heggs," said the post-boy. Mrs.
But he had a request to make and prefaced it with many a "Beg y'pardon, Sir." Could the Major see his way to letting the Slane M'Kenna wedding be adorned by the presence of four Battery horses to pull a hired barouche? The Major could, and so could the Battery. Excessively so. It was a gorgeous wedding. "Wot did I do it for?" said Corporal Slane. "For the 'orses O' course.
His neighbour answered, "And they do come wonderful true occasional. They 'as 'appened to me, and I daresay to all 'ere present." The company nodded. "You've noticed how them that knows nothing at all about 'orses the less they knows the better their luck will look down the lot and spot the winner from pure fancy the name that catches their eyes as likely."
Now every body's orf everywhere; the whole dratted country sims flying to pieces. Wonder they all get back. Orf to Brighton indeed! Anybody want to buy 'orses?" "You can't say I bin to Brighton, father," said Tom. "Nor don't want to go," said Jessica sharply; "creering about and spendin' your money."
"Never say that, George never say that," I cried, and, leaping from the saddle, I would have caught his hand in mine, but he drew back. "You be so fine an' grand, Peter, an' I be all sooty from the fire!" he repeated. "I'd like to just wash my 'ands first." "Oh, Black George!" said I, "dear George." "Be you rich now, Peter?" "Yes, I suppose so." "A gentleman wi' 'orses an' 'ouses an' servants?"
"You didn't make by him?" "I didn't lose nothing. I didn't have a lot of 'orses under me without getting something out of it." "What am I to do?" asked Tifto. "I can sell him a horse now and again. But if I give him anything good there isn't much to come out of that." "Very little I should say. Don't he put his money on his 'orses?" "Not very free. I think he's coming out freer now."
"The bullock could not have been driven very fast," said an English lady, who had regarded the scene intently from the piazza of the hotel, "because it does not perspire at all; see, its hide is perfectly dry." "That sort of hanimal doesn't sweat only on the nose," said the cavalryman, as he coolly wiped his knife and returned it to his pocket, adding, "'Orses does, but hoxen doesn't."
