Phelim
!
"
hailed
a
voice
from
the
outside
.
"
Phelim
!
"
"
It
's
the
masther
,
"
muttered
Phelim
,
as
he
jumped
from
his
stool
,
and
followed
the
dog
through
the
doorway
.
Phelim
was
not
mistaken
as
to
the
voice
that
had
hailed
him
.
It
was
that
of
his
master
,
Maurice
Gerald
.
On
getting
outside
,
he
saw
the
mustanger
at
a
short
distance
from
the
door
,
and
advancing
towards
it
.
As
the
servant
should
have
expected
,
his
master
was
mounted
upon
his
horse
--
no
longer
of
a
reddish
colour
,
but
appearing
almost
black
.
The
animal
's
coat
was
darkened
with
sweat
;
its
counter
and
flanks
speckled
with
foam
.
The
blood-bay
was
not
alone
.
At
the
end
of
the
lazo
--
drawn
taut
from
the
saddle
tree
--
was
a
companion
,
or
,
to
speak
more
accurately
,
a
captive
.
With
a
leathern
thong
looped
around
its
under
jaw
,
and
firmly
embracing
the
bars
of
its
mouth
,
kept
in
place
by
another
passing
over
its
neck
immediately
behind
the
ears
,
was
the
captive
secured
.
It
was
a
mustang
of
peculiar
appearance
,
as
regarded
its
markings
;
which
were
of
a
kind
rarely
seen
--
even
among
the
largest
"
gangs
"
that
roam
over
the
prairie
pastures
,
where
colours
of
the
most
eccentric
patterns
are
not
uncommon
.
That
of
the
animal
in
question
was
a
ground
of
dark
chocolate
in
places
approaching
to
black
--
with
white
spots
distributed
over
it
,
as
regularly
as
the
contrary
colours
upon
the
skin
of
the
jaguar
.
As
if
to
give
effect
to
this
pleasing
arrangement
of
hues
,
the
creature
was
of
perfect
shape
--
broad
chested
,
full
in
the
flank
,
and
clean
limbed
--
with
a
hoof
showing
half
a
score
of
concentric
rings
,
and
a
head
that
might
have
been
taken
as
a
type
of
equine
beauty
.
It
was
of
large
size
for
a
mustang
,
though
much
smaller
than
the
ordinary
English
horse
;
even
smaller
than
the
blood-bay
--
himself
a
mustang
--
that
had
assisted
in
its
capture
.
