FEAR 243 



way, — a^oinLi: near liiui niowh' and patiently; — 

 not making rapid and sudden movements (an arm 

 raised abruptly is sufficient to alarm him whilst 

 he is in a state of fear); — the fact of the man 

 who has his confidence placing himself between 

 him and the object of fear, or this man walking 

 in front of the horse; — the placing of another 

 horse between the horse which is afraid and the 

 object of fear, or making the other horse walk in 

 front. 



Finding himself always caressed and seeing 

 that no harm comes to him on seeing the objects 

 which arouse fear in him, after a time his fear 

 diminishes greatly, and even if the idea of fear 

 arises in him, he allows himself to be re-assured 

 by the means of permmsion. Blinkers are not means 

 of removing fear. They prevent his being afraid 

 of those things of which they obstruct the view, 

 and are not suited to remove fear. Very often his 

 being unable to see increases his fear, but mostly 

 it prevents him from being afraid.
