But when the lad asked if he could resume his place in the king's household, the king was so glad he was ready to jump and dance as he stood on the steps. There was no reason, the king said, why the lad should not come back. "Ay," said the lad, "but I must have good stable-room for my horse, and fodder that one can trust."
But when the lad asked if he could get a place in the king's household, the king was so glad he was ready to jump and dance as he stood on the steps. Well, they said, perhaps he might get a place there. 'Aye', said the lad, 'but I must have good stable-room for my horse, and fodder that one can trust.
Where no people should be in the clefts at the river-bank, in bald patches of veldt ringed with rocks, in overgrown ditches all these you find alive with men and beasts. The place that a month ago was only fit to pitch empty meat-tins into is now priceless stable-room; two squadrons of troop-horses pack flank to flank inside its shelter.
The interior was essentially suggestive of the half-breed, and his guess at its purpose had been a shrewd one. Part storehouse for forage, part bedroom, and part stable, it presented a squalid appearance. The portion devoted to stable-room was far in the back; the curious apparatus which constituted the bed was placed under the window.
But he did not offer bed and stable-room for the night; nor did he open the gate for me, as I had hoped he would. I should have declined the night's accommodation, but I should have been grateful for a helping hand at the gate. I had to get out of my wraps to open it.
He sought out Rainsford, who, having stable-room, willingly consented to put up his steed, and, being a discreet fellow, was not likely to indulge in undue tongue-wagging.

The roofs, which had no slant to them worth speaking of, were thatched and then sodded or covered with a thick layer of earth, and from this sprung a pretty rank growth of weeds and grass. It was the first time we had ever seen a man's front yard on top of his house. The building consisted of barns, stable-room for twelve or fifteen horses, and a hut for an eating-room for passengers.
Then one by one they stood up and went softly to the ladder that led to the stable-room below. Benham struck a second match and a third. "Giorgio!" he called. The cavasse made an arresting gesture and followed discreetly and noiselessly after the others, leaving Benham alone in the dark.
Never mind, thou wilt see worse than honest Jobst before thou hast done. Now, eat a morsel and be ready mountain air will make thee hungry ere thou art at the castle. And, hark thee, Jobst, thou must give stable-room to yon sumpter-mule for the present, and let some of my daughter's gear lie in the shed." "O father!" exclaimed Christina, in dismay.
