He had been deeply disgusted, when, at the death of Count Renneberg, Verdugo, a former stable-boy of Mansfeld, a Spaniard who had risen from the humblest rank to be a colonel and general, had been made governor of Friesland. He had smothered his resentment for a time however, but had sworn within himself to desert at the most favourable opportunity.
Conyers Smythe's fine shoulders in that figure nor the jaunty carriage of his massive head. Now he drew near, and the light of the porch-lamp fell upon him. The coachman caught the arm of his stable-boy, who was standing next to him a rather Jewish-looking Mashona. 'Look! look! he cried. They both watched the churchgoer as he passed up the steps. Then he was gone from their view.
There was such a tone of doubt in the Trainer's voice that even Mortimer noticed it. Neither was there much praise of the big Chestnut; evidently Mike did not quite approve of him, though hesitating to say so in the presence of his mistress. "Yes, Lauzanne is my horse," volunteered Allis. "I even ride him in all his work now, since he took to eating the stable-boy."
The ladder had been removed, and if he would leave the room he must leap to the ground, a distance of over twenty feet. "Confusion!" he exclaimed. "The ladder is gone!" "Yes, I directed the stable-boy to keep awake and remove it," explained Manning.

It is the cuspidore into which she voids her royal rheum.

Resigning the trembling and wearied horse to a stable-boy, he came toward the young girl, mopping his brow and exclaiming: "It will never do at all. He is ugly as sin. No woman should ride him, not even a squaw." "Bah, Graydon! he did not throw you, although he had you at every disadvantage. I'm not in the least afraid. Has the saddle come?"
