Yes, said James; he was a splendid creature, brother to this one, and just like him. Pity! pity! said the old man; twas a bad place to leap, if I remember; a thin fence at top, a steep bank down to the stream, wasnt it? No chance for a horse to see where he is going. Now, I am for bold riding as much as any man, but still there are some leaps that only a very knowing old huntsman has any right to take. A mans life and a horses life are worth more than a foxs tail; at least, I should say they ought to be. During this time the other man had finished Ginger and had brought our corn, and James and the old man left the stable together. |
