[The Wouldbegoods by E. Nesbit]@TWC D-Link bookThe Wouldbegoods CHAPTER 3 13/33
If you'd only show us the pursuing practice! Albert's uncle knows it; but he only does it on an armchair, because he hasn't a horse.' And that brave and swagger captain did really do it.
He rode his horse right into our gate when we opened it, and showed us all the cuts, thrusts, and guards.
There are four of each kind.
It was splendid.
The morning sun shone on his flashing blade, and his good steed stood with all its legs far apart and stiff on the lawn. Then we opened the paddock gate, and he did it again, while the horse galloped as if upon the bloody battlefield among the fierce foes of his native land, and this was far more ripping still. Then we thanked him very much, and he went away, taking his men with him.
