Personally, and even in a court of law though Heaven forbid it ever reaches that stage personally, I could swear that the fellow that stood abusing me there, in that revolting fashion, was not Lawford.

Nothing was wanting but the clatter of hoofs upon the turf, and an occasional breath of steam from the nostrils, to make the spectator believe that he had before him genuine flesh-and-blood steeds.
