If they ever praise each other's bad drawings, or broken-winded novels, or spavined verses, nobody ever supposed it was from admiration; it was simply a contract between themselves and a publisher or dealer. If the Mutuals have really nothing among them worth admiring, that alters the question.
But then he could go ever so fast. However, they usually rode, and horses can always go faster than men. Even Old Methusaleh could trot there in twelve, and he was spavined and a little wind-broke, while Teddy and Hal, who were young and frisky, could get there as quick as a wink. On this particular day Uncle Roger and Aunt Mehitable had a family party.
Their wet bedding and garments were soon dried and then the work of unpacking the sections of the Wondership was begun, for they were anxious to have the job completed and be on their way as soon as possible. Old McGee had told the truth when he said they would not be molested. An old Indian jogging by on a spavined horse and wrapped in a dirty blanket was the only person they saw all day.
De Breen had a weakness for spirited horses, and he handled them with a careless ease that never failed to excite in me a secret envy; for I here confess it I always have been a bit afraid of horses, whether spirited or not; not much, but just enough to make me cautious. I never take any liberties with even a blind and spavined derelict.
"What about the young lady?" asked the young man who had an Agency. "Never heard," answered Bildad. "Right there is where my lode of information turns to an old spavined crowbait , and folds its wings, for I've pumped it dry." "A very sad " began Judge Menefee, but his remark was curtailed by a higher authority. "What a charming story!" said the lady passenger, in flute-like tones.
He even talked as if, in strict and rigorous execution of his duty, he ought to detain honest Andrew himself; but on my guide's most piteously entreating his forbearance, he not only desisted from this proposal, but made a present to Andrew of a broken-winded and spavined pony, in order to enable him to pursue his journey.
"Locke, you are the kindest man in the world." "He feels fifty years younger than she appears to him," I thought; but I thanked him for his consideration for her. "Veronica has had a letter to-day from Mr. Somers. What did you buy in Milford?" "Mr. Morgeson," Fanny called, "Bumpus, the horse-jockey, is in the yard. He says Bill is spavined. I think he lies; he wants to trade."
He was glad to talk to the gentleman, especially because while they were talking his broken-winded white horse and the emaciated spavined one could go at a foot-pace, which they always liked to do. The driver spoke about the steward at Kousminski without knowing that he was driving "the master." Nekhludoff had purposely not told him who he was.
Being very absent-minded I said, "Come in," the first time. "You were rejected for this, I suppose?" he said. "No, cow-hocked or spavined, I forget which," I said. "This hadn't started then." The rite was quite a lengthy one, and at the conclusion the heartsmith said, "M yes, there is a slight murmuring, certainly."
The air was delicious, like that of Sao Paulo or Damascus in the spring. The next morning we were up and off at dawn to the Karla Caves. There was brought to the door at dawn for Richard a jibbing, backing pony, with vicious eyes, and for me a mangy horse like a knifeboard, spavined, with weak legs, and very aged, but nevertheless showing signs of "blood."
