Shrill neighing aroused him, and, hastily gaining his feet, he saw Pat running lightly, well-contained, to meet the swiftly advancing gray stallion. Then events moved with a terrible unreality.

He was still a man of remarkable appearance; his features were strong and firmly chiselled, his forehead was square and almost hard.
