Leon was to go on foot.

Father said he would ride a horse to death.

He just grinned and never made a word of complaint.

Seemed funny for him.
"I was over having a little confidential chat with my horse, last night," he said, "and next year we'll be in the chase, and we'll show you how to take fences, and cut curves; just you wait!" "Leon, DON'T build so on that horse," wailed mother.

"I'm sure that money was stolen like ours, and the owner will claim it! I feel it in my bones!" "Aw, shucks!" said Leon.
