The boy came riding up ahead of the others and shouted to Jimmie: "Gardez! A cheval!" he shouted, urging the mule into a trot. "That's your kid from the Washington slums!" Jack laughed, scornfully. "Talking French!" "What does he say?" demanded Jimmie. "He says for you to be on your guard to look out for yourself as he is coming on horseback. I don't know much French, but that is easy!"
Your sons did not fail. They can be depended upon. The world is in search of men built on those lines. I congratulate you, sir." Cyrus was glad presently to escape to his stateroom with Cornelius. "Say, what did you have to do?" he asked, eagerly. "Did you trot your legs off all over town?" "Not much, I didn't!" said Cornelius, grimly, from the depths of a big towel.
There, down a wild looking glen, on the left hand, comes brawling, over stump and stone, a tributary streamlet, by the side of which a rough track, made by the charcoal burners and the iron miners, intersects the main road; and up this miserable looking path, for it was little more, Harry wheeled at full trot.
Nan hung far out watching, fascinated, the smooth, clean sand dividing before the wheels and flowing back over the rim, and so over a little rise, and the sea was before them. "Oh, the Pacific!" exclaimed she, sitting up very straight. The horse broke into a trot along the smooth hard shore. The wind was coming in from the wide spaces. A taste of salt was in the air.
"All I want is a fresh horse, sir," said I. "I am sorry we haven't a decent horse," he replied, "but we have a reliable and honest Government mule, if that will do you." "Trot out the mule," I told him. "It is good enough for me. I am ready at any time." The mule was forthcoming. At dark I pulled out for Fort Larned, and proceeded without interruption to Coon Creek, thirty miles from Fort Dodge.
Now it was all downhill, and Ruby pounded along at an even trot, which seemed to make a sort of accompaniment to David's thoughts To market, to market, To buy a fat pig; Home again, home again, Jig a jig, jig! it said, over and over again. "I wonder whether Antony will know me!" thought David.
Then the thunderstorm broke around us, with flash of lightning and flood of rain, and at every fresh peal my "Garibaldi" dashed more wildly onward. To me, it was a vast surprise to discover that I could sit more easily on this wild flying thing than when at a canter or a trot.
Oh, I don't think so!" he answered in surprise. "They all bore me to death," Rachael said idly. "I'd rather have a chop here with you, and then trot off somewhere all by ourselves! Why don't they leave us alone?" "My dear girl, that isn't life," Warren Gregory said firmly. His tone chilled her a little, and she looked up in quick penitence.
The boy jumped down. The horse increased his amble and, suddenly changing foot, broke into a fast trot. The Crosses, the village where Vasili Andreevich lived, consisted of six houses. As soon as they had passed the blacksmith's hut, the last in the village, they realized that the wind was much stronger than they had thought. The road could hardly be seen.
Major Bounder was the victor on that day of stress and strife, for it seemed that many women didn't like the Colonel's wife. "Away with you, stranger!" exclaimed Mrs. Granger, "avaunt and skedaddle! Come here never more! You agents are making me crazy and breaking my heart, and I beg that you'll trot from my door!
