"It's the trut'. Miss Allis'd take Lauzanne, or the Black, or the little mare, an' get a better race out av thim than any jock I've seen ridin' hereabout." "Mike," exclaimed Allis, "you flatter me; you almost make me wish that I were a jockey." "Well, bot' t'umbs up! Ye'd av made a good un, Miss, an' that's no disrespect to ye, I'm sayin'." Mortimer smiled condescendingly.
I've borrowed it from him more than once to clean out the horses' hoofs." "Bot' t'umbs up! I'd hang that b'y to a beam if I had him here.
