She had covered more than half the distance when she heard a shout behind her, and, reining in her horse, there came to her the sounds of another horse galloping and a man's voice calling her name. She faced round and saw Dickson approaching her. "Why, how did you get as far as this?" she asked as he rode up.
Hostilius shuddered, and, at that moment, Decius, who had overtaken them, broke in with: "By Hercules! there is no fear of those. They cut us down in flight. The choice is, shall we have it in the face or between the shoulders." "By the gods of Rome, then!" shouted the praefect, suddenly reining up, while Sergius and Decius swung their horses in short circles.
Don Quixote did so, reining in Rocinante until his weary squire came up, who on reaching him said, "It seems to me, senor, it would be prudent in us to go and take refuge in some church, for, seeing how mauled he with whom you fought has been left, it will be no wonder if they give information of the affair to the Holy Brotherhood and arrest us, and, faith, if they do, before we come out of gaol we shall have to sweat for it."
"Ho away, then," calls Blood, mighty glad of that way out of his predicament, "but don't try the wall here again, Mistress Hillary! I protest 'tis not safe for you! Ho away, then! I race you to the end of the wall!" And off he gallops, never looking back, keen to clear the wall and meet my lady half-way up. Hortense sat erect, reining her horse and smiling at me.
"I wouldn't mind having a little girl like you," he said, reining in the horses at the turn of the road; "come over and see marm some day." "Thank you," Marjorie said, rising. Giving the reins to Hollis, Captain Rheid climbed out of the wagon that he might lift the child out himself. "Jump," he commanded, placing her hands on his shoulders. Marjorie jumped with another "thank you."
"What, Dunlop, as I live!" he exclaimed, eagerly reining in his steed, and extending a cordial hand. "My dear fellow, how long have you been at home, and why have I been left in ignorance of your coming?" The young man who had paid Helene the doubtful tribute of a disappointed glance, returned the greeting warmly, but in more measured terms.
"D'ye know, Joe," he said confidentially, reining up his gallant steed after a sharp gallop "d'ye know I've bin feelin' awful low for some time past." "I know it, lad," answered Joe, with a quiet smile, in which there was a dash of something that implied he knew more than he chose to express. Dick felt surprised, but he continued, "I wonder what it could have bin. I never felt so before."

"Look here, boys," Harry said, reining up his horse at a point within two hundred yards of the lower end, "we can't do better than fix ourselves here.
As he drew near he took off his hat and waved it in triumph round his head. "Success, good friends!" he cried, reining in his steed at the veranda steps. Then, as he threw the reins to a servant and sprang to the ground, "Zoe, my darling, you can go on with your packing; we may confidently expect to be able to sail with the rest."
A horseman who bore traces of having ridden long and hard was rapidly approaching us. Both rider and steed were grey with dust and splashed with mire, yet he galloped with loosened rein and bent body, as one to whom every extra stride is of value.
