Still laughing gaily, she rode through the gate. But suddenly her laughter broke flatly and she reined in the mare. Sheldon glanced at her sharply, and noted her face mottling, even as he looked, and turning orange and green. "It's the fever," she said. "I'll have to turn back." By the time they were in the compound she was shivering and shaking, and he had to help her from her horse.
With a slither of sand, the first horse took the pitch, legs angled awkwardly as he worked down. The second rider followed, the led horses pulling back. At the bottom of the arroyo, the Mexicans reined up. The elder, squat, broad of back, a black handkerchief tied round his thick neck, reached into his pocket and drew out tobacco and cigarette papers.
They reined up a little, it is true, just as a hunter does in gathering his horse together for a rush at a stone wall, but there was nothing like an approach to stopping. "Hi! Hi!! Hi!!!" roared the firemen, Baxmore and Corney high above the rest.
Time crept on; evening began to close in, and Beck was still at his crossing, when a young gentleman on horseback, who, after seeing the procession, had stolen away for a quiet ride in the suburbs, reined in close by the crossing, and looking round, as for some one to hold his horse, could discover no loiterer worthy that honour except the solitary Beck.
And then he alighted down and reined his horse on the bridle, and bound all the three knights fast with the reins of their own bridles. When Sir Lionel saw him do thus, he thought to assay him, and made him ready, and stilly and privily he took his horse, and thought not for to awake Sir Launcelot.
She was leaning against the wind, her skirt streaming behind her, her face thrust into the air. Sommers reined in his horse and jumped down. "How is your husband?" he asked brusquely. Mrs. Preston looked up with a smile of glad recognition, but she did not answer immediately. "You remember, don't you?" the doctor said kindly. "You are Mrs. Preston, aren't you?
Again on the knoll by the temple, apart from the rushing fugitives, Mardonius reined. His companion was once more beside him. He leaned that she might hear him through the tumult. “The battle is lost. The camp is defenceless. What shall we do?” Artazostra flung back the gold-laced cap and let the sun play over her face and hair. “We are Aryans,” was all her answer.
Yet he was conscious of the approaching tread of horses' feet, and recollected the hail that had come from the desert. Soon loomed up the shadowy figures of mounted men, and they came so near that he was constrained to call out, "Mind where you're going! You'll be over us!" "Who are you?" said a voice, which sounded like that of General Trednoke, as they reined up.
Those who could catch their horses threw themselves astride bareback and shot for the heart of the hills; two or three scrambled off afoot and were quickly run down, one a heavily-built, haggard, hollow-eyed man shook from head to foot as the lieutenant reined up his panting and excited horse and coolly said: "You are my prisoner, Burleigh." Nor was there attempt at rescue.
Aaron took off his hat, reined up, and turning the head of his Bucephalus towards the placid waters we had left, stretched forth his hand: 'Ethereal air, and ye swift winged winds, Ye rivers springing from fresh founts, ye waves That o'er the interminable ocean wreathe Your crisped smiles, thou all producing Earth, And thee, bright Sun, I call, whose flaming orb Views the wide world beneath.
