And then as the cart came up to him he

mare on her launches. She bounded for

road.
"Dhve for your life, sir" shouted Tom,

The big rufian Of whom Willoughby

And so they scrambled through the hedge

Willoughby had stiff tussle with the
mare. Luckily the road was straight, and
there was no danger of a spill in rounding
