A mate of a man who seemed to be of no employment, to belong to no recognised class, to wear description-baffling clothes not an ostler's, nor an undertaker's, certainly; but some suspicion of one or other, Heaven knew why! and never to look straight in front of him. Without some light on his vocation, imagination could provide no mate.
Again he started to go, but again Sir George called him back. "Read it," he said peremptorily, and he thrust the parchment into the ostler's hands.
His wife slipped down from her seat. 'Gave I you not the ostler's gossip from Calais three days since? she said, and went towards her roastings. 'But wherefore comes the yellow dog to Paris? Udal persisted. 'That you may go seek, she answered. 'But believe always what an innkeeper says of who are on the road.
Well, this time we were let in and allowed to sit down, whilst the ostler's wife was being roused as well as the servant, for we were told that the tourists' season, being already over, the inn was no longer in trim for customers. This was bad news, for the good effects of the luncheon had passed off, and as soon as we could rest and forget our fatigue we became sensible of ravenous hunger.
'I never did such a thing in my life. I cannot drive. 'Very well, responded Michael with entire composure, 'neither can I see. But just as you like. Anything to oblige a friend.

Mountjoy should have troubled himself to write the letter at all. "If he knows the young lady who is staying at the doctor's house," she said, "why doesn't he call on Miss Henley?" She handed the letter back to her daughter. "There! let the ostler take it; he's got nothing to do." "No, mother. The ostler's dirty hands mustn't touch it I'll take the letter myself. Perhaps I may see Miss Henley."
With her, too, the impression of Cardo's presence had been so vivid, that she almost expected to see him waiting for her; but no Cardo was to be seen! After leaving her luggage in the ostler's charge, she hastened out through the old archway which opened into the High Street.

The smaller ones filled up the intervening spaces between them. Behind the thicket-clad sandhills of the Kowie and Green Fountain, and extending over the low plains beyond Bathurst, were the locations of Cock's, Thornhill's, Ostler's, Smith's, and Richardson's parties. Skirting the wooded Kloofs from Bathurst towards the banks of the Klienemonden, were ranged the parties of James and Hyman.
