Black Beauty (15)

Doctor White was soon at the door.

" The worst of it is, " he said, " my horse has been out all day and is quite done up. What is to be done ? Can I have youe horse ? "

" he has came at a gallop nearly all the way sir, but I think my master would not be against it if you think fit, sir. "

" All right, " said the doctor.
" I wil soon be ready. "

The way back seemed long, but I did my best.

I was glad to get home.
My legs shook under me, and I could only stand and pant.

I had not a dry hair on my body, the water ran down my legs, and i steamed all over.

For the next few days I was very ill, and Mr Bond the horse doctor came every day.

John would get up two or three times in the night to come to me.

My master often came to see me, too.

" My poor beauty, " he said one day.
" You saved your mistress's life ! "

I was very glad to hear that, for it seems the doctor had said if we had been a little longer it would have been too late.

I don't know how long I was ill, but I thought I was going to die, and I believe they all thought so, too.

皆様へ。
バソコン、また、こわれました！
こんどは、重症そうでしたので分解しましたら、元にもどりません。ネジも、4本転げってしまい行方不明。致命的ですね。
ので、もうひとつの1日1分は、本日はお休みで願い
月曜日までには、新バソコンでお届け出来ると思うのですが、アキバの出物次第の部分もありまして、詳しい経過は、西新井ブログ10日夜のの記事にてご報告させていただきたいと思います。
実に、困りました。
何卒、宜しくお願いいたします。では。
