Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Héloïse and Abélard, Vol. 2 of 2 The ship that brought the twain from Orléans to Tours was still lying alongside the wharf, and it was Denise´s project that they should hire it to take herself and Alan back to Nantes, for Abelard had seen a horse in the inn stables that pleased him, and was saying that horses might be dearer at Orleans than at Tours, and that it was not likely that he would see one that pleased him more than a certain bay stallion. A moment after the ostler led the horse into the yard, and Alan whispered that he was a bargain. Abelard sprang into the saddle and rode around the yard, the bay stallion bucking a little, Abelard balancing his long body, his short legs tight about the horse like a girth - a broad, lean man, who sat the bay stallion well, his shoulders square, his hands low down on the horse´s withers. The horse bounded across the yard, bucked and bounded again, till, feeling the task to unseat his rider to be hopeless, he suddenly stopped, and stood champing the bit, in a rage. Alan had his hand on one rein and the owner of the horse had his on the other. He bucks in no evil intent, said the horsedealer; it´s only his play. He will not kick again, for he has learnt his master, Alan said, returning to Denise, who was anxious that Abelard should not buy so headstrong a brute. Dissuade Abelard! cried Alan; look at him and tell me if his body and mind are not as like as twins, as stubborn one as the other. Alan is quite right, Hélo¿se answered quickly; were the world searched, nothing more like his mind would be found than his body.
