Some-times the valet, not being Sdgood a rider as his master,came a cropper in a ditch,while the old man continued hisway, trusting to the instinct ofhis horse, the horn of the hunts-man, or the cry of the dogs.

Others ride donkeys, orrace along on foot, or mount some vantageground whence they can admire the good ridersand make fun of the bad ones.
