It's even all over. It feels good. The horses just seem to bounce along. I can go inside and out. It's like running on a carpet.

My horse had to make up a lot of ground. It was unbelievable, the ground we had to make up. If that didn't happen, I think we could have gotten to him. He only beat us by three lengths. He may still have beaten us, but it would have been a much better race.

It looks like (Holthus) has a Derby horse.

Shame on those who remain unmoved, whose pace fails to quicken, on entering one of these old habitations, a manor-house falling to wrack and ruin or a desecrated church!

I'm really the perfect complement to him, because I don't know anything about horses.

He's not a big horse. He's out of a Pleasant Colony mare, and most Pleasant Colony horses are rather large. He took after his daddy, who is a son of Mr. Prospector.
