Excerpt from Paul Faber: Surgeon They were passing at a good speed through a var ing country, - now a thicket of haze, now great patches of furze upon Open common, and anon well kept farm-hedges, and clumps of pine, the remnants of ancient forest, when, half-way through a lane so narrow that the rector felt every yard towards the other end a gain, his horses started, threw up their heads, and looked for a moment wild as youth. Just in front of them, in the air, over a high hedge, scarce touching the topmost twigs with his hoofs, appeared a great red horse. Down he came into the road, bringing with him a rather tall, certainly handsome, and, even at first sight, attractive rider. A dark brown moustache upon a somewhat smooth sunburnt face, and a stern set tling of the strong yet delicately finished features, gave him a military look, but the sparkle of his blue eyes contradicted his otherwise cold expression. He drew up close to the hedge to make room for the carriage, but as he neared him Mr. Bevis slackened his speed, and during the following talk they were moving gently along with just room for the rider to keep clear of the off fore wheel.
