252 The Management and Treatment of the Horse, about what he is told, and Coper No. 3 tells him he has heard coachman say that when they are fresh the near- side horse do pull. Coper No. 2 now puts in an appear- ance with livery hoots and breeches on, and in a great hurry, " Jim, put the harness on at once, govenor wants the landau at once." Then noticing Swell for the first time, says " Good morning, sir," touching his hat in the most approved style. Swell, " Oh, you are coachman. I wanted to have seen these horses out but you seem in a hurry." Coper No. 2 says " Yes, sir, master has had bad news and wants to catch the train, but, sir, you might jump on the box with me and ride round to the door, then you will have a chance of seeing how they move, and could make arrangements with master, when you could come and see the horses tried." Swell thinks this a good chance, and gets on the box and is driven slowly round to the lodgings of Coper No. 1, who is quite the gentleman, and is extremely sorry that he cannot spare time to shew him the horses, but the fact is his dear son is taken very ill at Eton, and he is off to see him, but perhaps he would not mind riding in the carriage with him to the Great Western station, and then, James, the coachman, will drive him back to any part of the town he wishes. The bait is taken, and in jumps Swell and Coper No. 1, Coper No. 1 taking care to keep up a conversation, and pointing out the action of the horses as they turn the corners. 150 guineas is the lowest price Coper No. 1 can take, he gave 200 guineas for them from Jjord Tom Noddy, and only offers them at the price as he is anxious to get them a -ood home before leaving
In the Stable, Field, and on the Road. 25.°> England to join his regiment. The fly is well into the web, and before parting on the platform a cheque is given by Swell, and a receipt and warranty given by Coper No. 1, and Coper No. 2 receives orders to take the horses home to Swell's stables. Coper No. 1 takes a ticket to Westbourne Park instead of Eton, then a cab to the bank, the cheque is cashed, the carriage sent to the coachbuilder, the hire paid, the stables are left, and the lodgings also. The horses are taken to Swell's stables and a sovereign given to his coachman, and Coper No. 2 gets one from Swell. The horses are given as much water and hay as they can eat and drink for a day or two, then Swell takes his new purchase out into the park for a drive, and sends them along at a smart rate up the side of the Serpentine to the Magazine, when lie puts his head out of the carriage window and says " John, what is the matter with the horses, they make an awful noise V John says '• I don't know, sir, but I think they must be broken winded." The horses are then taken home, and Swell goes to lodgings of Coper No. 1 and finds that he left them the same day he bought the horses, the stables are next tried to find the birds flown, and Swell then learns for the first time that he does not know all. In a day or two after a carter-looking man with a smock frock on, has heard that Swell has a pair of broken-winded horses for sale, and as he has a bit of land, he thinks he can work them on it, and offers £10 for the pair, which Swell, being disgusted with his purchase, takes, and the horses are then taken, not to work on the land, but next time to be advertised as
