over her luggage, "big box, little box,
bandbox, bundle" and was ovcrtakcn by
q man on horseback, who entered into
conversation, and among ottcr topics,
made some inquiries about the horse.
Pompcy told his story that his master
had charged him to tell the purchaser the
horses faults, without reservation.

stumbled and threw his rider into n ditch,
Picking himself up as well as lac could,
he examined lis new purchase little
