Then what is the state of the horse market, as far as you can ascer- tain, at your destination ? The animals are brought for your inspection. Do they look up to the mark ? You imagine they do, but the price, buying or hiring, is ridiculous. You must set to work to beat down the dealer. He will not come down beyond a certain price. Will you risk a ' bluff, ' and send him ...away in the hope that he will come back with a lower offer — which should he not do, you may go further and fare worse — or will you clinch the bargain, and afterwards find to your mortification that you could have made a better one elsewhere ?
