Black Beauty (33 完)

That afternoon, after I had taken the ladies for a safe gentle drive, I heard Joe telling them that he was sure I was Squire Gordon's old Black Beauty.

They were already pleased with me, so they decided to keep me and call me by my old name of " Black Beauty ".

I have now lived in this happy place a whole year.

Joe is the best and kindest of grooms and my work is easy and pleasant.

My ladies have promised that I shall never be sold, and so I have nothing to fear; and here my story ends.

My troubles are all over, and I am at home.
Often before I am quite awake, I fancy I am still in the orchard at Birtwick standing with my old friends under the apple trees.

１月以上の長い物語でしたが、ハッピーエンドにて幕を閉じたようです。
