But for mile on mile, allwas desolate.
Now and then I caught the cry of a pewit, or saw a snipe glance upfrom his bed; but mainly I was busied about the mare. "Let us butgain the ridge ahead, " thought I, "and there is a chance. " So I rodeas light as I could, husbanding her powers.
She was going her best, but the best was near spent. The sweat wasoozing, her satin coat losing the gloss, the spume flying back fromher nostrils--"Soh!" I called to her: "Soh! my beauty; we ride tosave an army!" Th...e loose stones flew right and left, as she reach'dout her neck, and her breath came shorter and shorter.
A mile, and another mile, we passed in this trim, and by the end ofit must have spent three-quarters of an hour at the work. Glancingback, I saw the troopers scattered; far behind, but following. Theheights were still a weary way ahead: but I could mark their steepsides ribb'd with boulders. Till these were passed, there was nochance to hide. The parties in this race could see each other allthe way, and must ride it out.
