“
So
do
I
,
”
said
master
,
“
as
well
as
any
man
,
but
I
don
’
t
like
to
see
them
held
up
;
that
takes
all
the
shine
out
of
it
.
Now
,
you
are
a
military
man
,
Langley
,
and
no
doubt
like
to
see
your
regiment
look
well
on
parade
,
’
heads
up
’
,
and
all
that
;
but
you
would
not
take
much
credit
for
your
drill
if
all
your
men
had
their
heads
tied
to
a
backboard
!
It
might
not
be
much
harm
on
parade
,
except
to
worry
and
fatigue
them
;
but
how
would
it
be
in
a
bayonet
charge
against
the
enemy
,
when
they
want
the
free
use
of
every
muscle
,
and
all
their
strength
thrown
forward
?
I
would
not
give
much
for
their
chance
of
victory
And
it
is
just
the
same
with
horses
:
you
fret
and
worry
their
tempers
,
and
decrease
their
power
;
you
will
not
let
them
throw
their
weight
against
their
work
,
and
so
they
have
to
do
too
much
with
their
joints
and
muscles
,
and
of
course
it
wears
them
up
faster
.
You
may
depend
upon
it
,
horses
were
intended
to
have
their
heads
free
,
as
free
as
men
’
s
are
;
and
if
we
could
act
a
little
more
according
to
common
sense
,
and
a
good
deal
less
according
to
fashion
,
we
should
find
many
things
work
easier
;
besides
,
you
know
as
well
as
I
that
if
a
horse
makes
a
false
step
,
he
has
much
less
chance
of
recovering
himself
if
his
head
and
neck
are
fastened
back
.
And
now
,
”
said
the
master
,
laughing
,
“
I
have
given
my
hobby
a
good
trot
out
,
can
’
t
you
make
up
your
mind
to
mount
him
,
too
,
captain
?
Your
example
would
go
a
long
way
.
”
“
I
believe
you
are
right
in
theory
,
”
said
the
other
,
“
and
that
’
s
rather
a
hard
hit
about
the
soldiers
;
but
—
well
—
I
’
ll
think
about
it
,
”
and
so
they
parted
.
One
day
late
in
the
autumn
my
master
had
a
long
journey
to
go
on
business
.
I
was
put
into
the
dog
-
cart
,
and
John
went
with
his
master
.
I
always
liked
to
go
in
the
dog
-
cart
,
it
was
so
light
and
the
high
wheels
ran
along
so
pleasantly
.
There
had
been
a
great
deal
of
rain
,
and
now
the
wind
was
very
high
and
blew
the
dry
leaves
across
the
road
in
a
shower
.
We
went
along
merrily
till
we
came
to
the
toll
-
bar
and
the
low
wooden
bridge
.
The
river
banks
were
rather
high
,
and
the
bridge
,
instead
of
rising
,
went
across
just
level
,
so
that
in
the
middle
,
if
the
river
was
full
,
the
water
would
be
nearly
up
to
the
woodwork
and
planks
;
but
as
there
were
good
substantial
rails
on
each
side
,
people
did
not
mind
it
.
The
man
at
the
gate
said
the
river
was
rising
fast
,
and
he
feared
it
would
be
a
bad
night
.
Many
of
the
meadows
were
under
water
,
and
in
one
low
part
of
the
road
the
water
was
halfway
up
to
my
knees
;
the
bottom
was
good
,
and
master
drove
gently
,
so
it
was
no
matter
.
When
we
got
to
the
town
of
course
I
had
a
good
bait
,
but
as
the
master
’
s
business
engaged
him
a
long
time
we
did
not
start
for
home
till
rather
late
in
the
afternoon
.
The
wind
was
then
much
higher
,
and
I
heard
the
master
say
to
John
that
he
had
never
been
out
in
such
a
storm
;
and
so
I
thought
,
as
we
went
along
the
skirts
of
a
wood
,
where
the
great
branches
were
swaying
about
like
twigs
,
and
the
rushing
sound
was
terrible
.
“
I
wish
we
were
well
out
of
this
wood
,
”
said
my
master
.
“
Yes
,
sir
,
”
said
John
,
“
it
would
be
rather
awkward
if
one
of
these
branches
came
down
upon
us
.
”
The
words
were
scarcely
out
of
his
mouth
when
there
was
a
groan
,
and
a
crack
,
and
a
splitting
sound
,
and
tearing
,
crashing
down
among
the
other
trees
came
an
oak
,
torn
up
by
the
roots
,
and
it
fell
right
across
the
road
just
before
us
.
I
will
never
say
I
was
not
frightened
,
for
I
was
.
I
stopped
still
,
and
I
believe
I
trembled
;
of
course
I
did
not
turn
round
or
run
away
;
I
was
not
brought
up
to
that
.
John
jumped
out
and
was
in
a
moment
at
my
head
.
