“The mare soared upwards in a beautiful leap, neighed with fear, and landed in a scramble that would have been disastrous had it not been for the consummate skill of her rider. Even so, she staggered, and leaping from the saddle, Redmond went to his knees. He was up in a second, heedless of his muddied britches as he checked on his mare. Whisper was sweating and trembling violently, but she did not appear to have taken any injury. Relieved, Redmond straightened and saw from the corner of his eye... a rapidly departing figure. So that was what had caused the fiasco! Some blasted idiot had been lurking about under the wall! His irritation with Tristram Leith forgotten, he shouted, "Hey!" The intruder promptly broke into a run.
Redmond turned to Whisper and stroked her. "Sorry, lass," he said, and mounted again. He turned her cautiously, but she gave no evidence of a limp or of reluctance, and he brought her to a canter.
