The Baron flung the reins on his charger's neck, and smote the animal on the flank, causing it to trot at once to its stable. "There will be no riding to-day," he said, his voice ominously lowering. The stablemen of the castle came forward and led away the horses.
Nevertheless the day the King and his army were ready to set out the lad stole away to the stables and begged the stablemen to give him a mount. It seemed to the men that that would be a merry thing to do. He was such a scarecrow they gave him a scarecrow horse. It was old and blind of one eye and limped on three legs, dragging the fourth behind it.
She was in that house by the same authority she rode the horse." "A woman of that sort would have no difficulty in hoodwinking the stablemen," declared Merrihew, certain that he had solved the riddle. "And so you add forgery? Not a shred of my romance left!" Hillard spoke jestingly, but like a man who covers up a sudden twinge of pain. "We'll know all about it in the fall.
In a moment she was beside him, her arm around his shoulder. "Pauline!" he said feebly, and fainted in her arms. An instant later she was speeding to the house, and, rousing her mother and two of the stablemen, she snatched a flask of brandy from a cupboard and hastened back.
Somebody about Hay's place was mighty anxious to cover his tracks." But a dozen "somebodies" besides the stablemen hung there at all hours of the day, infesting the broad veranda, the barroom and stores, striving to barter the skin of coyote, skunk or beaver, or, when they had nothing to sell, pleading for an unearned drink.
His only fault is that he's apt to take a little nip out of the stablemen now and then. He's very fond of ladies." "Humph!" said Tish. "He's looking at me rather strangely, don't you think? Has he been fed lately?" "Perhaps he sees that divided skirt," I suggested. Tish gave me one look and got on the horse. They walked round the ring at first and Tish seemed to like it.
Evidently the servants had taken advantage of their master's and mistress's absence to wander out into the woods. Some of the stablemen had the dogs out, too; there was nobody in sight to take his horse, so he led the animal to the stables and found there a lad to relieve him.
You've no idea how many accounts like yours they're carrying along. Sooner or later they'll have to call a halt or get it in the neck themselves. And in the meantime just see if you can't scrape up five dollars by next week just to cheer them along, you know." One of the stablemen who had not gone out, Henderson by name, worked at Billy's stables.
I had asked one of the stablemen before breakfast. "You don't need to be payin', miss! Just confront the driver, and you'll get it aisy!"
The Atwells could very well have let the girl walk home, but they sent her in a buckboard, with one of the stablemen to drive her. The landlord put her neat bundle under the seat of the buckboard with his own hand. There was something in the child's bearing, her dignity and her amiability, which made people offer her, half in fun, and half in earnest, the deference paid to age and state.
