You'll have to put up with Duddy and Fuddy for a while longer for your trap. By the way, how is Duddy?" "He's come around," she answered, "thanks to Mr. Hennessy." "Nothing serious," the veterinarian added. "He was just off his feed a trifle. It was more a scare of the stableman than anything else."
"Queer thing," he said, thinking aloud rather than addressing the stableman who had given this disconcerting news. "I have never before known him fail; and I wired to Hereford early enough." "Oh, he's in Hereford, is he?" inquired the man. "He ought not to be, but he is, I fear." "Then it'll be him who axed for ye on the telephone?" "When?"
"If you set two men to work?" "If I set ten men to work." "What if the spokes were to be tied together with ropes?" "That could be done with the spokes, not with the hub; and the felly is in a bad state, too." "Is there any one in this village who lets out teams?" "No." "Is there another wheelwright?" The stableman and the wheelwright replied in concert, with a toss of the head. "No."
"What do you take me for?" asked the stableman, trying to appear indignant and innocent. "You're a l-l-liar, and I am in no mood for trifling. Out with it, you scoundrel!" he cried, seizing him by the throat. With a sign of terror the groom indicated his readiness to come to terms, and the doctor relaxed his grip. Still trembling, he told the truth. "Do you know which road they took?"
Things looked peaceful, and there was a warm sun, so I ventured to unstrap my kit-roll and spread my blankets out to dry. They were still wet from the rain of two nights ago. I had scarcely spread them out when "Hook in" was shouted, and back they had to go, half-folded, in a perilously loose bundle. I am "stableman" to-day for three days.
He could only feel and gaze. A stableman with hard lips stood sentinel in front of the fiery horse, and put up a red forefinger on the right side of his temple to give them greeting. "I'll get in first," said Dion to Rosamund, "and then you can hand me up Robin." He put in his gun and took the reins, while Robin instinctively extended his arms so that his mother could take hold of him under them.
"The first of the season." "And I got to be out in it," fumed Annixter, "and I suppose those swine will quit work on the big barn now." When the buggy was finally ready, he put on his rubber coat, climbed in, and without waiting for the stableman to raise the top, drove out into the rain, a new-lit cigar in his teeth.
Anthony evened it down with his fork, which he stuck in the ground beside it. He called his stableman, told him to put up the horses, and went to his room. He went to bed, still thinking of what he had best do, but no ideas came to him. His apprehension increased in the quiet of his room. They would shoot him!
The next morning I get up early, before he is awake, and take down King William and pawn him and buy a new Pope with the money. Then I give the old man the ticket to get King William out." Too Much of a Good Thing "I've got the very thing you want," said the stableman to a ruralist in search of a horse; "a thorough-going road horse.
The stableman said he had left the wagon a few moments after I had and had been stolen. The police accused the stablemen of being parties to the theft, in which I think they were right. Money could not buy that dog. He was an integral part of the expedition: always on the alert; always watchful of the wagon during my absence, and always willing to mind what I bade him do.
