322 ROAD, TRACK, AND STABLE. 
And now, having brought these essays to a close, 
I will address to the gentle reader the same remark 
that was made long ago by one of my predecessors in 
the subtle art of horsemanship. He said, —and I 
trust that I have been equally fortunate, — “Lord! 
If I had always such a nice, attentive person to listen 
to me as you are, I could go on talking about ’orses 
to the end of time.”
