In her despair Tess sprang forward and put her hand upon the hole, with the only result that she became splashed from face to skirt with the crimson drops. Then she stood helplessly looking on. Prince also stood firm and motionless as long as he could; till he suddenly sank down in a heap. By this time the mail-cart man had joined her, and began dragging and unharnessing the hot form of Prince.
"Everything you've done's between you an' God A'mighty. I 'ain't got nothin' to tell!" Then she went out, and, deftly unharnessing the horse, put him in her little shed, and gave him a feed of oats. The hens had gone to bed without their supper. "No matter, biddies," she said, conversationally, as she passed their roost. "I'll make it up to you in the mornin'!"
"Mother, I mean," she hastily corrected herself. "You needn't be afraid," was all he said. He was silent for the rest of the journey, and was very slow in unharnessing; Ditte kept beside him. Sörine came out with a lantern and spoke to him, but he did not answer. She cast a look of fear at him and the child, hung up the lantern, and hurried in.
'What's that you are doing there? asked Vasili Andreevich. 'Unharnessing. What else is there to do? I have no strength left, said Nikita as though excusing himself. 'Can't we drive somewhere? 'No, we can't. We shall only kill the horse.
"I'm blamed if you have a hair of him," said the yokel. "I don't want one. Here!" and he pitched him a half-crown. The man gaped stupidly at the unharnessing of his beast, and began to pump up for another protest. But before the words were ready, Mr Armstrong had led the horse out of the shafts and had vaulted on his bare back. "Eh," sputtered Hodder, "may I "
Unharnessing the animal without delay, I permitted him to browse at free will on the grass, convinced that he would not wander far from a place to which he was so much attached; I then pitched the little tent close beside the ash tree to which I have alluded, and conveyed two or three articles into it, and instantly felt that I had commenced housekeeping for the first time in my life.
The day was very hot, and they rested the horse for two hours in the middle of the day, unharnessing the big creature, and washing his face with as much care as if he had been a human being; then, after he had had the regulation amount of water, he was tied to a tree and fed, after which the seven had a merry meal from that well-filled grub box and some tea from a real billy, which they boiled over a fire of sticks that had been gathered by Don and Billykins.
"Shall we?" asked Button-Bright doubtfully, turning to the others. "Well, Scraps has a lot of brains, even if she is stuffed with cotton," asserted the Wizard. "If her brains can help us out of this trouble we ought to use them." So he began unharnessing the Sawhorse, and Button-Bright and Dorothy helped him.
'Good health to you, Erofay, upright man! replied Kassyan in a dejected voice. I at once made known his suggestion to the coachman; Erofay expressed his approval of it and drove into the yard. While he was busy deliberately unharnessing the horses, the old man stood leaning with his shoulders against the gate, and looking disconsolately first at him and then at me.
There was a little difficulty in unharnessing the horse, on account of the absence of light; but at last, by a combined effort, it was done, and the buggy was drawn into the barn and the doors shut. "There, all will be safe till to-morrow morning," said Jeff. "Now we'll go into the house." He entered by the back shed door, and Harry followed him.
