"Parachute still making running," says John, standing erect in his stirrups, his honest face beaming with excitement. "Woa, horse! Stand still, White-Stockings now they reach the turn, and The Baby takes a pull Gad, old Ganymede's coming up. Well done, Major no, the old one's flogging. Parachute wins. Now, Baby! now Major the horse! the mare!
Woa!" Basket paid not the slightest heed for a few minutes. Then, as if he suddenly comprehended, he stopped short. "Thankye," said Ike drily; "much obliged. It's my belief, though, that the wicked old walking scaffold was fast asleep, and has on'y just woke up." "Why, he couldn't go on walking in his sleep, Ike," I exclaimed. "Not go on walking in his sleep, mate! That there hoss couldn't!
He went back to the mare, and went on clearing away the snow. Then I could hear him patting and encouraging her. Next I heard a great blowing and scrambling, and at last a snort and the thunder of hoofs. "Woa! woa! Gently! gently! She's off!" cried my father. Her mother gave one snort, and away she went, thundering after her. But their sounds were soon quenched in the snow.
Tub after tub was passed along. Now and then we heard a splash and an oath. Then a horse would whinny upon the beach, startled by a wave, and a man would tell him to "Stand back," or "Woa yer." I caught the excitement, and handed out the tubs with the best of them. I suppose that we worked in this way for half an hour or a little more.
And it came into his mind that, but for a twist of fate, she would have been mistress of this coppice, showing these cow-houses to him, a visitor. "All Alderneys," he muttered; "they give the best milk. This one's a pretty creature. Woa, Myrtle!" The fawn-coloured cow, with eyes as soft and brown as Irene's own, was standing absolutely still, not having long been milked.

The buffalo were getting farther off at every instant. James, being ambitious to mend his pace, tugged hard at the rein, and one of his rider's boots escaped from the stirrup. "Woa! I say, woa!" cried Tete Rouge, in great perturbation, and after much effort James' progress was arrested.
The colonel, who was standing near, seemed rather proud of this exhibition, but when the mare was almost beside herself with terror, and while she was yet swinging in mid-air, he spoke reassuring words "Woa, Bunny! Steady, old girl!" The beast could not see him, but she heard the voice in the air, and became suddenly quiet.
All the horses were brown; "he makes a point of that," the neighbours would have told you. As each horse passed the gate the driver left its head, and took his place by the wheel, cracking his whip, with many a "Hup, horse; yean, horse; woa, lad; steady!" In a dull little country town the passing of a single cart is an event, and a gig is followed with the eye till it disappears.
To which Sancho returned, "Oh, princess and universal lady of El Toboso, is not your magnanimous heart softened by seeing the pillar and prop of knight-errantry on his knees before your sublimated presence?" On hearing this, one of the others exclaimed, "Woa then! why, I'm rubbing thee down, she-ass of my father-in-law!
