A few minutes later, as the groom held the horse, she mounted and rode away, choosing the road by which I had gone, expecting to meet me on the return from town. She was galloping along at a good clip when suddenly her horse shied at something. "Whoa, Buster," pacified Elaine. But it was of no use. Buster still reared up. "Why, what is the matter?" she asked. "What do you see?"
"Trace loose, mister," he called out as he noticed the trailing strap. "Whoa," ordered the driver, halting with a jolt, and Andy adjusted the faulty harness and smiled back cheerily at an eager little fellow in the wagon who inquired if he was going to the show, too. "Jump in, youngster, if ours is your way," invited the farmer. Andy promptly availed himself of the offer.
All leaped out and gathered around while Captain Putnam made an examination. "He has had a bad fall," said the master of the school. "But I doubt if any bones are broken." They raised the sufferer up, and presently Andy stirred and opened his eyes. "Whoa!" he murmured. "Whoa!" "He must think he is still on horseback!" cried Pepper, and but for Andy's pale face he would have laughed outright.
Do they attend school?" "Oh, no; they are grown long ago." "Then how is it that the teacher usually boards at your house?" "I don't know; but they do. Reckon they jest fell into the habit. My house is handy, for one thing; ain't more than three miles from the school jest a nice, exercisin' sort of walk. Whoa, boys! Sorter have to scotch 'em back goin' down here.
"But why are you not conducting the case from Baker Street?" I asked. "Because there are many inquiries which must be made out here. Mrs. St. Clair has most kindly put two rooms at my disposal, and you may rest assured that she will have nothing but a welcome for my friend and colleague. I hate to meet her, Watson, when I have no news of her husband. Here we are. Whoa, there, whoa!"
When the equine wonder shakes his long ears, Philander imagines he is about to perform some amazing trick, and, filled with a new dread, he clasps his arms around the poor creature's neck, and calls out: "Whoa! there's a good fellow be quiet now! I wouldn't hurt you, boy! Whoa! I say. Hang me if I don't believe you've got the devil in you. Want to kill me, eh? No, you don't. Easy now, you rascal.
"Never mind, my boy, we shall be at home presently," pursued Sampson, patting the neck of his unquiet companion. Now there's that son Bill of mine fast asleep, I suppose, in the arms of his little wife. They do nothing but lie in bed, while their poor old father is obliged to be up at all hours, devising plans for the good of the King's service, God bless him! Whoa Silvertail! whoa I say.
"Whoa! Hold up!" shouted John McIntyre, as the horses' heads appeared beyond the line of timber. "What do you mean by making such a row on the road at night and disturbing peaceable citizens?" The driver pulled up, and the two eyed each other with that air of severity which men affect when they are afraid of displaying the fact that their love for each other is deep and tender.
I use a fly in the spring and fall, but seldom in June or July, here. Those were taken with live bait-shrimp. The pickerel with minnows. Are you fond of fishing, Miss Colton?" "Yes, indeed. Whoa, Don! steady! Yes, I fish a good deal in September, when we are at our lodge in the Adirondacks. Trout there, principally. But I have caught bass in Maine. I thought I must give it up this year.
"Are you intel'gent?" asked the girl. "Not very," said the creature. "It would be foolish to waste intelligence on a common Sawhorse, when so many professors need it. But I know enough to obey my masters, and to gid-dup, or whoa, when I'm told to. So I'm pretty well satisfied."
