Hurry, boy, hurry, for there is everything to do and small time for the doing of it." From Lecorbeau's cottage the news of Le Loutre's decree spread like wildfire through the settlement.
This was no time for nice observances Jack Giles's spirit began to flag and Tom Hand's judgment to tell High-Blood, on the full stretch, was within view of the winning-post, when Wildfire, quite in wind, was put to his speed by the judicious Tom Hand he sprang forward, came up with High-Blood passed him Jack Giles strove in vain to regain his ground High-Blood was blown, beyond the power of whip or spur Wildfire reached the post, and Squire Burton won the match hollow.
