But, here, a sudden shout arose that spread and spread, and swelled into a roar; the swaying line of horsemen surges forward, bends, splits into plunging groups, and man and horse are off and away the great Steeplechase has begun. Half a length behind Carnaby's gray gallops "The Terror," fire in his eye, rage in his heart, for there are horses ahead of him, and that must not be.
"When he reached the second barricade, he drew his horse up, as if it were merely a question of jumping a hurdle in a steeplechase just then I saw the window on the first floor open again. 'Ah! you old rascal! I exclaimed.
At the circle of Melezes, Henri proposed to turn to the right, in order to reach Longchamp. "A flat race! You are joking!" Zibeline cried, turning to the left, toward the road of La Vierge, "You don't intend that we shall run a steeplechase, I hope." "On the contrary, that is exactly my intention! You are not afraid to try it, are you?" "Not on my own account, but on yours."
He gave it to her. She raised it to her eyes, but, at that moment, the horseman swerved into the road again, and was lost to view. Suddenly Houghton started; an enigmatical smile passed across his face. "Alice," said he, "did you mean what you said about the steeplechase I mean about the ride down the White Bluff road?" "I meant all I said," was her bitter reply.
I am not ashamed to own, with him who loves a steeplechase, That to me the charm in hunting is the ecstasy of pace, This is what best schools the soldier, teaches us that we are men Born to bear the rough and tumble, wield the sword and not the pen. Some there are who dub hard riders worthless and a draghunt crew Tailors who do all the damage, mounted on a spavined screw.
You go contrary to my orders, knowing that I would not have you take part in the steeplechase; you ruin another man's horse worth some three hundred guineas; and then you come home, just as if nothing had happened, and expect me, I suppose, to pay the bill. But you may depend upon it I shall do nothing of the sort." No one spoke for a few minutes. Then Walter stammered out that he was very sorry.
The ground on which he had predicted the greatness of the next day was not that the noted horses already present were entered for the race, but much more because he had received a letter from one whom he sometimes spoke of as "one of his childern," and sometimes as "one of his young masters" a grandson of his old master, Colonel Theodoric Johnston of Bullfield telling him that he was going to bring one of his horses, a colt his grandfather had given him, and try for the big steeplechase stake.
She suddenly realised that Major Guthrie, before leaving England, had made what Jervis Blake had once called "a steeplechase will." Rumours soon grew into certainties.
A mine explosion west of Hill 140 made a crater fifty yards across. A steeplechase dash across the open from both sides French and Germans met in the crater a fierce struggle for its possession followed, and the French won the hole.
The black filly with the star yes, she's thoroughbred too, and couldn't have been bought for money. Only a month old and unbranded, of course, when your father and Warrigal managed to bone the old mare. Mr. Gibson offered 50 Pounds reward, or 100 Pounds on conviction. Wasn't he wild! That big bay horse, Warrior, was in training for a steeplechase when I took him out of Mr. King's stable.
