 after they were pulled up than they naturally 

 would have done had not such example been 

 set them; for, I well remember, that, if we 

 stopped a little longer than usual at the top 

 of the gallop, the horses would keep on blowing 

 their noses, as we kept on repeating the noise 

 with our lips. Whether they did this sort of 

 thing from the example set them by the boys 

 or not, I will not pretend to say; but, as there 

 certainly can be no good derived from such 

 noise being made by the boys, it should not 

 be allowed to be done.
