master. Some discussion arose
among the monks as to the killing
of the yellow horse. or the giving
him to Nagel as a punishment: the
last suggestion finally won, and
Nigel proceeded to further subdue
the heretofore untamable creature
called "Pommers."
The horse tried to unseat his
rider. but Nigel held fast and at
last they were over the four-foot
gate and away. Then took place
the most notable ride ever known
in that part of the world. and the
authors description recording it is
a gem worth reading; also 1t is the
key to NigeFs whole character. A
nearly forgotten ballad upon this
subject has the following refrain:
The Doe that sped on Hinde Head.
The Kestril on the winde.
And Nigel on the Yellow Horse
Can Leave the world behinde."
After a battle of wills, the horse
was broken and conquered; he fell
in the heather with a sobbing sigh,
throwing his rider over his head
stunned. The young Squire was
first to recover and kneeling by the
painting, over-wrought horse, he
gently passed his hand over the
foam-fecked face. and the whin-
nying Pommers thust his nose into
the hollow of Nigel's hand
You are my horse, Pommers,"
Nigel whispered. and laid his cheek
against the craning head. Il know
