"Our 'orses are 'arnessed as they had orter be, Miss Gibson, and as the Queen 'erself rides them in the hold country. 'Hi'm doing my best to teach you young ladies proper, and I can't 'old with some of these loose Hamerican 'abits. They wouldn't be 'eld with for a minute in the Row." "Oh, a fig for your old Row, Dawson!
"Saw no racin'!" said his neighbour; "ain't she won the cup?" The joke was lost on the women, who only perceived that they were being laughed at. "Come up here, Esther," said William; "stand on my box. The 'orses are just going up the course for the preliminary canter. And you, Sarah, take Teddy's place. Teddy, get down, and let the lady up." "Yes, guv'nor. Come up 'ere, ma'am."
Nothing seems to me to have been altered within twenty or thirty years, save the noses of the landlords, which have bloomed and given place to another set of proboscises as germane us the old ones to the very welcome, please to light 'Orses forward, and ready out. The skeleton at Barnby Moor has deserted his gibbet, and that is the only change I recollect.
He knew whom he served, and from whom it would become him to take beer. "I'd be happy to pay for a pint," said Mrs. Demijohn, fingering a fourpenny bit so that he might see it. "Thankye, Mum; no, I takes it reg'lar when I takes it. I'm on dooty just at present." "Your master's horses, I suppose?" "Whose else, Mum? His lordship don't ride generally nobody's 'orses but his own." Here was a success!
Well, thank my stars the Airly Castle is safe in the Downs. Miss Burs. Mr. Bursal, can you inform me why Joe, my groom, does not make his appearance? Mr. Burs. Yes, that I can, child; because he is with his 'orses, where he ought to be.
"What, not Wheatear, and with all that American corn in my 'ead? Is it likely I'd've missed it?" No one answered, and Ketley drank his whisky in the midst of a most thoughtful silence. At last one of the group said, and he seemed to express the general mind of the company "I don't know if omens be worth a-following of, but I'm blowed if 'orses be worth backing if the omens is again them."
"Couldn't ye just knot hup them tails a bit, and mebbe braid that fly-away mane down along the crest? If I'm bordered to take my young ladies into the park or the city this hafternoon, I swear I'll hexpire of mortification with them 'orses." But this was too much for Jess. Dawson had at last touched the match, and he caught the full force of Jess's wrath: "Sp-sp-spire ob ob mortification!
'Now that's what I call a respectable turn-out! was the phrase passed from mouth to mouth in the crowd gathering near the door. Children in great numbers had absented themselves from school for the purpose of beholding this procession. 'I do like to see spirited 'orses at a funeral! remarked one of the mourners, who had squeezed his way to the parlour window.
"A phe-a-ton! vy, it's more like a fire-engine," said Jim. "Don't be impertinent," said Jorrocks, who had pulled down his collar to hear what he had to pay "but tell me what's to pay?" "Vy, it's a phe-a-ton drawn by von or more 'orses," said the toll-taker; "and containing von or more asses," said Tom. "Sixpence-halfpenny, sir," "You are a saucy fellow," said Jorrocks.
Ralph the heir was out of town, and the servant at his lodging professed she did not know where he was. She thought it probable that he was "at Mr. 'Orsball's, Mr. 'Orsball of the Moonbeam, Barnfield, a-looking after his 'orses." She suggested this, not from any knowledge in her possession, but because Ralph was always believed to go to the Moonbeam when he left town.
