The following morning the veterinary, that is, the doctor of animals, paid him a visit, and declared that he would remain lame for life. The director then said to the stable-boy: "What do you suppose I can do with a lame donkey? He would eat food without earning it. Take him to the market and sell him." When they reached the market a purchaser was found at once.
"Just now I don't remember ever having done any poor boy such a charity." "Now," said Vosky, "perhaps you may remember a nightingale that you wished to have brought to your mother's garden. You will recall that poor stable-boy who managed it for you." "Oh, yes," said Alfred, "I remember the boy very well. He was a poor, worthy, ambitious lad, named Michael Warden.
"Put him into the gig," called Peer to the stable-boy who had come out to take the horse. The man touched his cap. "Horse has never been driven before, sir, I was to say." "Everything must have a beginning," said Peer. Merle glanced at him. But they were both dressed to go out when the chestnut came dancing up before the door with the gig.
The hotels in these parts are very much on a par with caravanserais in Algeria; bells, fire-places, and other necessities of civilized life are unknown, the bed-rooms are often reached by an outside staircase only, and afford such accommodation we should not think luxurious for a stable-boy in England, and these often, moreover, adjoin a noisy upper salle-a-manger, where eating, and drinking, and talking go on all day long.
He might, had he so pleased, have put in his claim for loving notice, on the ground of presence of mind in stilling the plunging horse, presence of mind, which commonly contributes more to success and deliverance in an emergency than impulsive and impetuous courage; but he was not one to assert himself, and the coachman and stable-boy, who knew the part he had taken, were not present to speak a word for him.
Schwarzenberg was astonished at his capacity; in fact, the ci-devant Yorkshire stable-boy was the only one of the diplomatic body that could make head against the impetuous counsels, or rather dictates, of Schwarzenberg; and this was found highly useful by other members of the diplomatic body.
The revolutionary National Assembly of France in 1790 bestowed a pension of fifteen hundred francs on his worthless widow, who had married a stable-boy soon after the death of her husband. Such was the checkered life of Rousseau. As to his character, Lord Brougham says that "never was so much genius before united with so much weakness." The leading spring of his life was egotism.
'Hullo! cried Casimir, 'there goes the stable-boy with his luggage; no, egad, he is taking it into the inn. And sure enough, Jean-Marie was seen to cross the snowy street and enter Tentaillon's, staggering under a large hamper. The Doctor stopped with a sudden, wild hope. 'What can he have? he said. 'Let us go and see. And he hurried on. 'His luggage, to be sure, answered Casimir.
'Seemingly, the old man agreed. After a few words on pigeons, and a glass of beer, Dan had no difficulty whatever in borrowing his friend's white mare and black trap. He himself helped in the harnessing. Just as he was driving triumphantly away, with that delicious vision Maud on his left hand and a stable-boy behind, he reined the mare in.
Joe, the stable-boy, led away Regina, and Rose entered the house. Crossing the hall, she met Eeny going upstairs. "Well!" said Eeny, "and where have you been all day, pray?" "Out riding." "Where?" "Oh, everywhere! Don't bother!" "Do you know we have had luncheon?" "I don't care I don't want luncheon." She ran past her sister, and shut herself up in her room. Eeny stared.
