I am going down now with him, to the inn where he has left his horse.
As he has a few things there, you had best come with us and bring them here." The landlord of the inn, on hearing that Fergus wished to sell his horse, said that there were two travellers in the house who had asked him about horses; as both had sold, to officers, fine animals they had brought in from the country, there being at present a great demand for horses of that class.
One of these persons came in as they were speaking, and after a little bargaining Fergus sold the horse to him, at a small advance on the price he had given for it at Stettin.
The landlord himself bought the saddle and bridle, for a few marks; saying that he could, at any time, find a customer for such matters.
Donald took the valises and cloak, and carried them back to the palace. "That matter is all comfortably settled," Lindsay said.
