19. Comprehension
Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a
pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-
lilies grew at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed
field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master’s house, which stood
by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the
bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank.
While I was young I lived upon my mother’s milk, as I could not eat grass. In
the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold
we had a nice warm shed near the grove.
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass my mother used to go out to work in
the daytime, and come back in the evening.
There were six young colts in the meadow besides me; they were older than I
was; some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I used to run with them, and
had great fun; we used to gallop all together round and round the field as hard as
we could go. Sometimes we had rather rough play, for they would frequently bite
and kick as well as gallop.
One day, when there was a good deal of kicking, my mother whinnied to me
to come to her, and then she said:
‘I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. The colts who
live here are very good colts, but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they
have not learned manners. You have been well-bred and well-born; your father
has a great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup two years at
the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the sweetest temper of any horse I
ever knew, and I think you have never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow
up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways; do your work with a good will, lift
your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick even in play.’
78
I have never forgotten my mother’s advice; I knew she was a wise old horse,
and our master thought a great deal of her. Her name was Duchess,
but he often called her Pet.
Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging, and
kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all
fond of him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate
she would neigh with joy, and trot up to him. He would pat and stroke her and
say, ‘Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?’ I was a dull black, so he called
me Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and
sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the horses would come to him,
but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a
market day in a light gig.
There was a plowboy, Dick, who sometimes came into our field to pluck
blackberries from the hedge. When he had eaten all he wanted he would have
what he called fun with the colts, throwing stones and sticks at them to make
them gallop. We did not much mind him, for we could gallop off; but sometimes
a stone would hit and hurt us.
One day he was at this game, and did not know that the master was in the
next field; but he was there, watching what was going on; over the hedge he
jumped in a snap, and catching Dick by the arm, he gave him such a box on the
ear as made him roar with pain and surprise. As soon as we saw the master we
trotted up nearer to see what went on.
‘Bad boy!’ he said, ‘bad boy! to chase the colts. This is not the first time, nor
the second, but it shall be the last. There – take your money and go home; I shall
not want you on my farm again.’ So we never saw Dick any more. Old Daniel, the
man who looked after the horses, was just as gentle as our master, so we were
well off.
Before I was two years old, a circumstance happened which I have never
forgotten. It was early in the spring; there had been a little frost in the night, and
a light mist still hung over the woods and meadows. I and the other colts were
feeding at the lower part of the field when we heard, quite in the distance, what
sounded like the cry of dogs. The oldest of the colts raised his head, pricked his
ears, and said, ‘There are the hounds!’ and immediately cantered off, followed by
the rest of us to the upper part of the field, where we could look over the hedge
and see several fields beyond. My mother and an old riding horse of our master’s
were also standing near, and seemed to know all about it.
79
‘They have found a hare,’ said my mother, ‘and if they come this way we shall
see the hunt.’
And soon the dogs were all tearing down the field of young wheat next to
ours. I never heard such a noise as they made. They did not bark, nor howl, nor
whine, but kept on a ‘yo! yo, o, o! yo! yo, o, o!’ at the top of their voices. After
them came a number of men on horseback, some of them in green coats, all
galloping as fast as they could. The old horse snorted and looked eagerly after
them, and we young colts wanted to be galloping with them, but they were soon
away into the fields lower down; here it seemed as if they had come to a stand;
the dogs left off barking, and ran about every way with their noses to the ground.
‘They have lost the scent,’ said the old horse; ‘perhaps the hare will get off.’
‘What hare?’ I said. ‘Oh! I don’t know what hare; likely enough it may be one
of our own hares out of the woods; any hare they can find will do for the dogs
and men to run after;’ and before long the dogs began their ‘yo! yo, o, o!’ again,
and back they came altogether at full speed, making straight for our meadow at
the part where the high bank and hedge overhang the brook.
‘Now we shall see the hare,’ said my mother; and just then a hare wild with
fright rushed by and made for the woods. On came the dogs; they burst over
the bank, leaped the stream, and came dashing across the field followed by the
huntsmen. Six or eight men leaped their horses clean over, close upon the dogs.
The hare tried to get through the fence; it was too thick, and she turned sharp
round to make for the road, but it was too late; the dogs were upon her with
their wild cries; we heard one shriek, and that was the end of her. One of the
huntsmen rode up and whipped off the dogs, who would soon have torn her
to pieces. He held her up by the leg torn and bleeding, and all the gentlemen
seemed well pleased. As for me, I was so astonished that I did not at first see
what was going on by the brook; but when I did look there was a sad sight; two
fine horses were down, one was struggling in the stream, and the other was
groaning on the grass. One of the riders was getting out of the water covered
with mud, the other lay quite still.
‘His neck is broke,’ said my mother.
‘And serve him right, too,’ said one of the colts.
I thought the same, but my mother did not join with us.
‘Well, no,’ she said, ‘you must not say that; but though I am an old horse, and
have seen and heard a great deal, I never yet could make out why men are so
80
fond of this sport; they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear
up the fields, and all for a hare or a fox, or a stag, that they could get more easily
some other way; but we are only horses, and don’t know.’
While my mother was saying this we stood and looked on. Many of the riders
had gone to the young man; but my master, who had been watching what was
going on, was the first to raise him. His head fell back and his arms hung down,
and every one looked very serious. There was no noise now; even the dogs were
quiet, and seemed to know that something was wrong. They carried him to our
master’s house. I heard afterward that it was young George Gordon, the squire’s
only son, a fine, tall young man, and the pride of his family.
There was now riding off in all directions to the doctor’s, to the farrier’s, and
no doubt to Squire Gordon’s, to let him know about his son. When Mr Bond, the
farrier, came to look at the black horse that lay groaning on the grass, he felt him
all over, and shook his head; one of his legs was broken. Then someone ran to
our master’s house and came back with a gun; presently there was a loud bang
and a dreadful shriek, and then all was still; the black horse moved no more.
My mother seemed much troubled; she said she had known that horse for
years, and that his name was ‘Rob Roy’; he was a good horse, and there was no
vice in him. She never would go to that part of the field afterward.
Not many days after we heard the church-bell tolling for a long time, and
looking over the gate we saw a long, strange black coach that was covered with
black cloth and was drawn by black horses; after that came another and another
and another, and all were black, while the bell kept tolling, tolling. They were
carrying young Gordon to the churchyard to bury him. He would never ride again.
What they did with Rob Roy I never knew; but ’twas all for one little hare.
