The
next
day
Hotspur
,
that
was
his
name
,
came
home
;
he
was
a
fine
brown
horse
,
without
a
white
hair
in
him
,
as
tall
as
Captain
,
with
a
very
handsome
head
,
and
only
five
years
old
.
I
gave
him
a
friendly
greeting
by
way
of
good
fellowship
,
but
did
not
ask
him
any
questions
.
The
first
night
he
was
very
restless
.
Instead
of
lying
down
,
he
kept
jerking
his
halter
rope
up
and
down
through
the
ring
,
and
knocking
the
block
about
against
the
manger
till
I
could
not
sleep
.
However
,
the
next
day
,
after
five
or
six
hours
in
the
cab
,
he
came
in
quiet
and
sensible
.
Jerry
patted
and
talked
to
him
a
good
deal
,
and
very
soon
they
understood
each
other
,
and
Jerry
said
that
with
an
easy
bit
and
plenty
of
work
he
would
be
as
gentle
as
a
lamb
;
and
that
it
was
an
ill
wind
that
blew
nobody
good
,
for
if
his
lordship
had
lost
a
hundred
-
guinea
favorite
,
the
cabman
had
gained
a
good
horse
with
all
his
strength
in
him
.
Hotspur
thought
it
a
great
come
-
down
to
be
a
cab
-
horse
,
and
was
disgusted
at
standing
in
the
rank
,
but
he
confessed
to
me
at
the
end
of
the
week
that
an
easy
mouth
and
a
free
head
made
up
for
a
great
deal
,
and
after
all
,
the
work
was
not
so
degrading
as
having
one
’
s
head
and
tail
fastened
to
each
other
at
the
saddle
.
In
fact
,
he
settled
in
well
,
and
Jerry
liked
him
very
much
.
For
some
people
Christmas
and
the
New
Year
are
very
merry
times
;
but
for
cabmen
and
cabmen
’
s
horses
it
is
no
holiday
,
though
it
may
be
a
harvest
.
There
are
so
many
parties
,
balls
,
and
places
of
amusement
open
that
the
work
is
hard
and
often
late
.
Sometimes
driver
and
horse
have
to
wait
for
hours
in
the
rain
or
frost
,
shivering
with
the
cold
,
while
the
merry
people
within
are
dancing
away
to
the
music
.
I
wonder
if
the
beautiful
ladies
ever
think
of
the
weary
cabman
waiting
on
his
box
,
and
his
patient
beast
standing
,
till
his
legs
get
stiff
with
cold
.
I
had
now
most
of
the
evening
work
,
as
I
was
well
accustomed
to
standing
,
and
Jerry
was
also
more
afraid
of
Hotspur
taking
cold
.
We
had
a
great
deal
of
late
work
in
the
Christmas
week
,
and
Jerry
’
s
cough
was
bad
;
but
however
late
we
were
,
Polly
sat
up
for
him
,
and
came
out
with
a
lantern
to
meet
him
,
looking
anxious
and
troubled
.
On
the
evening
of
the
New
Year
we
had
to
take
two
gentlemen
to
a
house
in
one
of
the
West
End
Squares
.
We
set
them
down
at
nine
o
’
clock
,
and
were
told
to
come
again
at
eleven
,
“
but
,
”
said
one
,
“
as
it
is
a
card
party
,
you
may
have
to
wait
a
few
minutes
,
but
don
’
t
be
late
.
”
As
the
clock
struck
eleven
we
were
at
the
door
,
for
Jerry
was
always
punctual
.
The
clock
chimed
the
quarters
,
one
,
two
,
three
,
and
then
struck
twelve
,
but
the
door
did
not
open
.
The
wind
had
been
very
changeable
,
with
squalls
of
rain
during
the
day
,
but
now
it
came
on
sharp
,
driving
sleet
,
which
seemed
to
come
all
the
way
round
;
it
was
very
cold
,
and
there
was
no
shelter
.
Jerry
got
off
his
box
and
came
and
pulled
one
of
my
cloths
a
little
more
over
my
neck
;
then
he
took
a
turn
or
two
up
and
down
,
stamping
his
feet
;
then
he
began
to
beat
his
arms
,
but
that
set
him
off
coughing
;
so
he
opened
the
cab
door
and
sat
at
the
bottom
with
his
feet
on
the
pavement
,
and
was
a
little
sheltered
.
Still
the
clock
chimed
the
quarters
,
and
no
one
came
.
At
half
-
past
twelve
he
rang
the
bell
and
asked
the
servant
if
he
would
be
wanted
that
night
.
“
Oh
,
yes
,
you
’
ll
be
wanted
safe
enough
,
”
said
the
man
;
“
you
must
not
go
,
it
will
soon
be
over
,
”
and
again
Jerry
sat
down
,
but
his
voice
was
so
hoarse
I
could
hardly
hear
him
.
At
a
quarter
past
one
the
door
opened
,
and
the
two
gentlemen
came
out
;
they
got
into
the
cab
without
a
word
,
and
told
Jerry
where
to
drive
,
that
was
nearly
two
miles
.
My
legs
were
numb
with
cold
,
and
I
thought
I
should
have
stumbled
.
When
the
men
got
out
they
never
said
they
were
sorry
to
have
kept
us
waiting
so
long
,
but
were
angry
at
the
charge
;
however
,
as
Jerry
never
charged
more
than
was
his
due
,
so
he
never
took
less
,
and
they
had
to
pay
for
the
two
hours
and
a
quarter
waiting
;
but
it
was
hard
-
earned
money
to
Jerry
.
