"Deacon Tubman," said the parson, as he clutched more stoutly the rim of his tall hat, against which, as the horse tore along, the snow chips were pelting in showers, "Deacon Tubman, do you think the pacer will beat us?" "Not if I can help it! not if I can help it!" yelled the deacon, in reply, as, with something like a reinsman's skill, he lifted Jack to another spurt.
W., though people called to me that I could not catch the boat, and that my horse would fall on the steep broken descent. My saddle slipped over his neck, but he still sped down the hill with the rapid "racking" movement of a Narraganset pacer.
When the cavalcade was on the point to start, Angioletto stepped forward and took Bellaroba by the hand. "Little lady," says he to his blushing captive, "I have a mule for the road which I am assured is a steady pacer. Will you be my pillion?" "Oh, yes, Messere," said Bellaroba in a twitter, and dropped him a curtsy of her best. "Excellent!" he cried gaily. "I can see that we are to be friends."

Frightened, he forgot, he dodged, he wavered "Steady, Ben Butler, don't oh " It was a small trick of Travis', for though the old pacer came with a rush that swept everything before it, the drive had been made too late. Travis had the heat won already. Still there was no rule against it.
Two men talked in low tones behind the carefully-shaded windows, one of them, the younger, lounging in the depths of an easy-chair, and the other pacing the floor in deepest abstraction.
