Seeing which, we deemed it expedient to prepare foot-traps, well con- cealed in the earth, which were mightily suc- cessful, and put a sudden end to their boldness. 'Twas thus I caught in a foot-trap of mine own making the horse, Mohammed; his rider, deeming it greater wisdom to part with horse than head, escaped, leaving the beast behind. Being of a build too slight to bear my heavy bulk, I did bestow him upon Ronald. Never saw I a more pleasing animal. His hair was more shining than a peacock...'s plumage; his head was lean, his eye gray like a falcon's, his breast large and square, his crupper broad and his rump tight. For speed he outmatched the Godfrey s Tale 77 thought of man, and withal was as gentle and loving as the lad who bestrode him. The love and understanding betwixt the two was a marvel to behold. Ronald was alway for talking to him and treating him as man and Christian, and, beshrew me, the beast did appear to act as one at times. Despite that our board was none so well pro- vided, Ronald, of his scant fare, would each day lay by a gobbet of barley bread or oaten cake wherewith to coax the beast to frolic.
