That
is,
he
looked
as
if
he
didn't;
but
in
my
case
Lord
Everard
has
his
eye
on
the
steed
pretty
closely,
just
the
same.
This
next
I
am
doubtful
about:
"To
horse!
to
horse!"
cried
the
knight,
and
leaped
into
the
saddle.
I
think
I
could
manage
it
if
it
read:
"To
horse!"
cried
the
knight,
and,
snatching
a
step-ladder
from
the
hands
of
his
trusty
attendant,
he
rushed
into
the
saddle.
As
a
concluding
remark,
I
may
mention
that
my
experience
of
riding
has
thrown
a
very
interesting
sidelight
upon
a
rather
puzzling
point
in
history.
It
is
recorded
of
the
famous
Henry
the
Second
that
he
was
"almost
constantly
in
the
saddle,
and
of
so
restless
a
disposition
that
he
never
sat
down,
even
at
meals."
I
had
hitherto
been
unable
to
understand
Henry's
idea
about
his
meals,
but
I
think
I
can
appreciate
it
now.
