“
Put
yourself
a
bit
straight
,
”
said
John
.
Joe
gave
a
pull
at
his
necktie
and
a
twitch
at
his
jacket
,
and
was
off
in
a
moment
.
Our
master
being
one
of
the
county
magistrates
,
cases
were
often
brought
to
him
to
settle
,
or
say
what
should
be
done
.
In
the
stable
we
heard
no
more
for
some
time
,
as
it
was
the
men
’
s
dinner
hour
,
but
when
Joe
came
next
into
the
stable
I
saw
he
was
in
high
spirits
;
he
gave
me
a
good
-
natured
slap
,
and
said
,
“
We
won
’
t
see
such
things
done
,
will
we
,
old
fellow
?
”
We
heard
afterward
that
he
had
given
his
evidence
so
clearly
,
and
the
horses
were
in
such
an
exhausted
state
,
bearing
marks
of
such
brutal
usage
,
that
the
carter
was
committed
to
take
his
trial
,
and
might
possibly
be
sentenced
to
two
or
three
months
in
prison
.
It
was
wonderful
what
a
change
had
come
over
Joe
.
John
laughed
,
and
said
he
had
grown
an
inch
taller
in
that
week
,
and
I
believe
he
had
.
He
was
just
as
kind
and
gentle
as
before
,
but
there
was
more
purpose
and
determination
in
all
that
he
did
—
as
if
he
had
jumped
at
once
from
a
boy
into
a
man
.
Now
I
had
lived
in
this
happy
place
three
years
,
but
sad
changes
were
about
to
come
over
us
.
We
heard
from
time
to
time
that
our
mistress
was
ill
.
The
doctor
was
often
at
the
house
,
and
the
master
looked
grave
and
anxious
.
Then
we
heard
that
she
must
leave
her
home
at
once
,
and
go
to
a
warm
country
for
two
or
three
years
.
The
news
fell
upon
the
household
like
the
tolling
of
a
deathbell
.
Everybody
was
sorry
;
but
the
master
began
directly
to
make
arrangements
for
breaking
up
his
establishment
and
leaving
England
.
We
used
to
hear
it
talked
about
in
our
stable
;
indeed
,
nothing
else
was
talked
about
.
John
went
about
his
work
silent
and
sad
,
and
Joe
scarcely
whistled
.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
coming
and
going
;
Ginger
and
I
had
full
work
.
The
first
of
the
party
who
went
were
Miss
Jessie
and
Flora
,
with
their
governess
.
They
came
to
bid
us
good
-
by
.
They
hugged
poor
Merrylegs
like
an
old
friend
,
and
so
indeed
he
was
.
Then
we
heard
what
had
been
arranged
for
us
.
Master
had
sold
Ginger
and
me
to
his
old
friend
,
the
Earl
of
W
—
—
,
for
he
thought
we
should
have
a
good
place
there
.
Merrylegs
he
had
given
to
the
vicar
,
who
was
wanting
a
pony
for
Mrs
.
Blomefield
,
but
it
was
on
the
condition
that
he
should
never
be
sold
,
and
that
when
he
was
past
work
he
should
be
shot
and
buried
.
Joe
was
engaged
to
take
care
of
him
and
to
help
in
the
house
,
so
I
thought
that
Merrylegs
was
well
off
.
John
had
the
offer
of
several
good
places
,
but
he
said
he
should
wait
a
little
and
look
round
.
The
evening
before
they
left
the
master
came
into
the
stable
to
give
some
directions
,
and
to
give
his
horses
the
last
pat
.
He
seemed
very
low
-
spirited
;
I
knew
that
by
his
voice
.
I
believe
we
horses
can
tell
more
by
the
voice
than
many
men
can
.
“
Have
you
decided
what
to
do
,
John
?
”
he
said
.
“
I
find
you
have
not
accepted
either
of
those
offers
.
”
“
No
,
sir
;
I
have
made
up
my
mind
that
if
I
could
get
a
situation
with
some
first
-
rate
colt
-
breaker
and
horse
-
trainer
,
it
would
be
the
right
thing
for
me
.
Many
young
animals
are
frightened
and
spoiled
by
wrong
treatment
,
which
need
not
be
if
the
right
man
took
them
in
hand
.
I
always
get
on
well
with
horses
,
and
if
I
could
help
some
of
them
to
a
fair
start
I
should
feel
as
if
I
was
doing
some
good
.
What
do
you
think
of
it
,
sir
?
