Now on the instant he wheeled, swooped with all his might upon the disordered vanguard of the English. Baldry and those with him fought madly, the English on foot made all haste; the prostrate figure, pinned beneath the dying bay, became the centre of a wild melee, the hotly contested prize of friend and foe! Then burst from the tunal, came at a run down the hill, re-enforcements for Mexia....
I've always liked people but it was as if some evil thing had swooped down on the old house." The lad saw straight! That was the thought which suddenly illumined Dr. McKenzie's troubled mind.
