But I suppose they would have been better had Providence sent better materials.

And what do you think of the brown horse, Bat ?" "Well, sir." He said no more, and that he said with a drawl.
"He's as fine an animal to look at as ever I put my eye on," said George.
"He's all that," said Bat.
"He's got lots of pace too." "I'm sure he has, sir." "And they tell me you can't beat him at jumping." "They can mostly do that, sir, if they're well handled." "You see he's a deal over my weight." "Yes, he is, Mr Vavasor.

He is a fourteen stoner." "Or fifteen," said Vavasor.
"Perhaps he may, sir.

There's no knowing what a 'orse can carry till he's tried." George asked his groom no more questions, but felt sure that he had better sell his brown horse if he could.

Now I here protest that there was nothing specially amiss with the brown horse.
