Indeed, I haven't said, mind that, I'll take that for him; all I've said is, that I wouldn't take less.' 'Just so,' replied Mr.Thornton.
'He's a horse of high character,' observed Mr.Sponge.

'Indeed he has no business out of Leicestershire; and I don't know what set my fool of a groom to bring him here.' 'Well, I'll see if I can coax my friend into giving what you say,' observed Mr.Thornton.
'Nay, never mind coaxing,' replied Mr.Sponge, with the utmost indifference; 'never mind coaxing; if he's not anxious, my name's "easy." Only mind ye, if I ride him again, and he carries me as he did yesterday, I shall clap on another fifty.

A horse of that figure can't be dear at any price,' added he.

'Put him in a steeple-chase, and you'd get your money back in ten minutes, and a bagful to boot.' 'True,' observed Mr.Thornton, treasuring that fact up as an additional inducement to use to his friend.
