The Irish mare followed, and with miraculous gameness, landed safely; but her hind legs slipped on the bank, a moment was lost, and "Baby" Grafton scarce knew enough to recover it, though he scoured on, nothing daunted. Pas de Charge, much behind, refused the yawner; his strength was not more than his courage, but both had been strained too severely at first.
Why if he should not, dulness everlasting be his portion! But you take the sure way to keep up my ardour. While I perceive you continue to enjoy I shall continue to be communicative. A sympathetic yawner I may be, but I do not believe I am often the first to begin. I knew not half my own merits. I act my part to admiration. 'Tis true the combining circumstances are all favourable.
There were not three separate awakenings and three distinct yawns; no, the rousing of one caused the rousing of the others in succession so rapidly that the yawns, commencing with Pauline's treble, were prolonged, through Otto's tenor down to Dominick's bass, in one stupendous monotone or slide, which the last yawner terminated in a groan of contentment.
Hence, Bertie had never felt the want of all that is bought by and represents money, and imbibed a vague, indistinct impression that all these things that made life pleasant came by Nature, and were the natural inheritance and concomitants of anybody born in a decent station, and endowed with a tolerable tact; such a matter-of-fact difficulty as not having gold enough to pay for his own and his stud's transit to the Shires had very rarely stared him in the face, and when it did he trusted to chance to lift him safely over such a social "yawner," and rarely trusted in vain.

Waffles, as the party returned from the railway station; 'shouldn't wonder if he can go dare say he'll try shouldn't wonder if he's floored awfully stiff country this for horses that are not used to it most likely his are Leicestershire nags, used to fly won't do here. If he attempts to take some of our big banked bullfinches in his stride, with a yawner on each side, will get into grief.
