Now for a nasty leap out of the tangled swamp! a high six-barred fence of rough trees, leaning toward him, and up hill! surely he will not try it! Will he not though? See! his rein is tight yet easy! his seat, how beautiful, how firm, yet how relaxed and graceful! Well done, indeed!
And it is pretty certain that any crocodile, who has been regularly hunted through the season, and is master of the weight he carries, will take a six-barred gate now as well as ever he would have done in the infancy of the pyramids. Perhaps, therefore, the crocodile does not change, but all things else do: even the shadow of the pyramids grows less.
I kept to the road, skirting the pudding basin hill, and came presently to the fence of the Park and to what was evidently a side gate not an imposing wrought-iron erection between stone pillars such as that which announced the front entrance, but just a rather high-class six-barred gate.

Then I saw, as sure as ever I was standing there in the shadow of the stable, I saw a short wide figure glide across the foot of the courtyard, between me and the six-barred gate.
So, so, old boy, you shall go over the six-barred gate to-day, or we'll know why." And Mr. Beaufort patted the sleek neck of his favourite hunter. "Put the saddle on him, Tom." "Yes, your honour.
