Bending over you might see the garden of Herons' Holt, Mr. Fletcher
leading from the house the fat white pony and tubby wide car which
Mrs. Marrapit, formerly Mrs. Major, has prevailed upon her husband to
buy. The pony has all the docile qualities of a blind sheep, but Mr.
Fletcher is in great terror of it. When, while being groomed, it
suddenly lifts its head, Mr. Fletcher drops his curry-comb and retires
from the stall at great speed. "It's 'ard," says Mr. Fletcher--"damn
'ard. I'm a gardener, I am; not a 'orse-breaker."

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
