Back Beauty (17)

(9) Earlshall

Next morning Jeo took Merrylegs to the Vicarage, for he had been given to the Vicar.

Then Jeo took Ginger and me to Earlshall Park, where we were to live.

Mr York ws our new coachman there.
He called a groom to take us to a light airy stable.



In a short while John and Mr York came in to see us.

John said, " I had better mention that we have never used the beasring rein with either of these horses. "

" Well, " said York, " if they come here, they will have to wear the bearing rein. My lady has to have style, and her carriage horses have to be reined up tight. "

Then John came round to each of us to pat and speak to us for tha last time.
His voice sounded very sad.

I never saw him again.
