He could see, very far off, the pink coat of "Owld Sta'" following a line which seemed each moment to be turning more directly for Madore, and in his agony he gave the pony an imprudent dig of the spur that sent her on and off a boggy fence in two goat-like bounds, and gave the sunlight opportunity to play intermittently upon the hollow seat of the saddle.
In a moment or two he returned, out of breath, to where the faithful Mary awaited him. "It's no good, Mary," he said, wiping the perspiration from his forehead; "they're running like blazes to the south along through the furze. I suppose the devils took it that way to humbug your father, and then they'll turn for the bridge and run into Madore; and there's the end of the hounds."
Denny, if you rode 'Matchbox' yourself straight to Madore across the river, you'd be in time to whip them off!" "By Jove!" said Dinny Johnny, and was silent. I believe that was the moment at which the identity of the future Mrs. Denny was made clear to him.
Tom was acquainted with a considerable number of Windego superstitions. "There's no danger unless it's a fresh track," he said. "Perhaps it's an old one." "Fresh made dis mornin'," said Baptiste.
