'Are thae a' ae body's? asked Robert. 'Troth are they. They're a' hers, I wat. Ye wad hae thocht she had been gaein' to The Bothie; but gin she had been that, there wad hae been a cairriage to meet her, said Crookit Caumill, the ostler.
Mark, after requesting the Inspector to find a man to go over to Streatham and bring back his horse, and writing an order to the ostler to deliver it, walked across to his lodgings.
It was market day, and he met with many people he knew, and it was getting quite late when he turned into the inn yard, and bade an ostler saddle his horse, and bring it round directly.
This is a universal custom throughout the north of Sweden: it is a part of the simple, natural habits of the people; and though it seemed rather odd at first to be shaking hands with everybody, from the landlord down to the cook and the ostler, we soon came to take it as a matter of course. The frank, unaffected way in which the hand was offered, oftener made the custom a pleasant one.
I thought it best to come back and tell you, and I will adopt any plan that you suggest for his capture." "You say that he has been there for nearly a year?" "About a year, the ostler said."

Lucy then expressed her desire to go forward without delay: "Aunt will expect me."

Evan mounted, and rode out of the yard to where Jack was standing, bare-headed, in his old posture against the pillar, of which the shade had rounded, and the evening sun shone full on him over a black cloud. He now looked calmly gay.
Before the inn there stood a yellow-wheeled stanhope with a horse which, from his manner of trembling all over for no conceivable reason, and manifest desire to stand upon his hind legs, I conceived to be a thorough-bred; and, hanging grimly to the bridle, now in the air, now on terra firma, alternately coaxing and cursing, was my friend the Semi-quavering Ostler.
He followed the young man with the interest and the undisguised admiration of a Paris gamin watching an aristocrat go to the guillotine. As the long back disappeared round a corner, the lad turned to Cherry and winked. "Guts," he said. The ostler led the old horse with dripping muzzle away from the water-trough. The expression on his face seemed to suggest that the other was a vulgar fellow.
"Well, I don't know, sir; I left him at the station." "Well, then, where did he take his ticket for? Where did he tell the porter he was going? Think now, and I'll give y' a sovereign." The ostler scratched his head, and seemed at first inclined to guess for the sovereign, but at last said: "I should only be robbing you gents.
