nearly forty miles day when young could

of manual labor, as holding the plough
driving the team, thrashing wheat with the
fail and matching the stacks. Her chief
avocation was breaking horses at a guinea
a week. She always rode without saddles
and was considered the best judge of horses
and cows in the peak.
But Phoebe had also liking for sport
and for art. She was good shot and car
ried her gun on her shoulder She was
fond of Milton. Pope and Shakespeare, and
