"Two of 'em are playing in blinkers, and that means they can't see to get out of the way of their own side, or they may shy at the umpires' ponies. They've all got white web-reins that are sure to stretch or slip!" "And," said Kittiwynk, dancing to take the stiffness out of her, "they carry their whips in their hands instead of on their wrists.
