Indeed, a chubby urchin of four years old sug- gested that one of his brothers should be sold instead. Whinnie's soft muzzle received many kisses, and not a few tears dropped upon it too. 'Squire Streatham was a kind man, so when Burns brought the mare to him, and in few words explained his errand, the 'Squire could easily see how matters stood, and with what reluctance the farmer parted with Whinnie. He paid the price without hesitation, and the pet mare changed hands ; but he felt sorry for J...ohn Burns, and tried to comfort him by promising to make Whinnie happy in her new quarters. When the groom came to lead her off to the stables, the 'Squire gave him particular directions to pet her and treat her gently. Then he said a kind good-bye to Burns, who walked off on his way home after giving a parting pat to his four-footed friend. He had expected to find grave faces when he got back, but what was his horror when his wife ran to meet him, and begged him to go for the doctor quickly, as one of the children had burnt herself badly.
