Can we get him back to the stable?”

“We can,” she said. She could be almost so easily fooled: she wore a mask for the face, like a mother. She would laugh at the most trivial of occasions. There had been a time when she had been able to go back and give them a good whipping after they had beaten their horses; there would still be a time when she would simply wait, as they did now, and the horses would be well and ready to go back to the stable. For her part, she was a very easy horse to hold, and the stables were very full with horses.

They sat down by the door. The boy stood by them, and the two little devils sat on the horses, close beside him. The boy was afraid; it seemed, so far as he was concerned, as though he would be killed for it.
