There it broadened once more, and our willing beasts pressed forward and galloped beside the stableman's till the hoofs beat in unison. "There!" said Thatcher, suddenly pulling his horse up to a walk. "We're five miles out, and they've got a big piece to make up if they're on our track. We'll breathe the horses a bit."
He came to Waldenweiter; I jumped to the conclusion that to be near me was his only object. By a stableman's chance remark, overheard as I was looking at my horses, I learned of his presence on the morning of the day when Varvilliers was to arrive at Artenberg.

"She's a good girl," repeated Dan, furiously, as he flung the other boot at his cousin.
The following day the same man presented me another bill for nearly an equal amount, claiming it had been assigned to him in a settlement with other parties.

An attempt was made, only for a moment, to hold the horses, resulting in my incurring the stableman's displeasure.
