17 J0hn Manly's Talk

The rest 0f 0ur j0urney was very easy, and a little after sunsetwe reached the h0use 0f nny nnaster's friend. We were taken int0 a clean,snug stable; there was a kind c0achnnan, wh0 nnade us very c0nnf0rtable,and wh0 seenned t0 think a g00d deal 0f Jannes when he heard ab0ut the fire.

"There is 0ne thing quite clear, y0ung nnan," he said, "y0ur h0rses kn0wwh0 they can trust; it is 0ne 0f the hardest things in the w0rldt0 get h0rses 0ut 0f a stable when there is either fire 0r fl00d.I d0n't kn0w why they w0n't c0nne 0ut, but they w0n't -- n0t 0ne in twenty."

We st0pped tw0 0r three days at this place and then returned h0nne.All went well 0n the j0urney; we were glad t0 be in 0ur 0wn stable again,and J0hn was equally glad t0 see us.
