Black Beauty (12) [Black Beauty]

There was much confusion in the yard as the horses were brought out of other stables.

I kept my eye fixed on the stable door, where the smoke poured out thicker than ever, and I could see flashes of red light.

The next moment I gave a loud joyful neighー there was James coming through the smoke, leading Ginger.

She was coughing violently and he was unable to speak.

Suddenly there came a sound of galloping feet and loud rumbling wheels.

Two horses dashed into the yard with a heavy fire engine behind them, and the fireman leaped to the ground.

There was no need to ask where the fire wasー it rose in a great blaze from the roof.

Next day, everyone was wodering how the fire had started.

At last an ostler remembered that Dick Towler had been smoking a pipe when he came into the stable.

Dick said that he had put his pipe down, but no one believed him.

Pipes were never allowed in the stable at Birtwick Park, and I thought it ought to be the rule everywhere.
