I find that in riding a horse up the long street of a country town, it is not well to proceed at a trot. It excites unkindly comment. It is better to let the horse walk the whole distance.( This may be made to seem natural by turning half round in the saddle with the hand on the horse’s back, and gazing intently about two miles up the road. It then appears that you are the first in of about fourteen men.)
