life. He agreed he had good horses. so
I was sworn in as his substitute. The
horses are all right. they prick up their
ears and step in good shape when they
meet an electric car or an automobile.
These are the kind like to drive.
II am met with smile by ali the pa
irons of the route and even the dogs
won't bark at me. Yes. there are some
places pretty thickly wooded. but that
