He lifted his hat and drew his fingers across his forehead where the perspiration stood in beads, resettled the hat at an angle to shade his face from the glare of the sun, ran two fingers cursorily between the cinch and Rabbit's sweaty body, picked up the stirrup, thrust in his toe and eased himself up into the saddle; and his mind had not consciously directed a single movement.
Lord Erpingham played with his neckcloth, and Lady Erpingham rose to leave the room. "D d fine girl!" said the earl, as he shut the door upon Constance; "but d d sharp!" added he, as he resettled himself on his chair.
