To return, now, to where I was, and tell you the rest. We shall never know how she came to be there; there is no way to account for it. She was always watching for black and shiny and spirited horses—watching, hoping, despairing, hoping again; always giving chase and sounding her call, upon the meagrest chance of a response, and breaking her heart over the disappointment; always inquiring, always interested in sales-stables and horse accumulations in general. How she got there must remain a mystery.
At the point which I had reached in a preceding paragraph of this account, the situation was as follows: two horses lay dying; the bull had
scattered1 his persecutors for the moment, and stood raging, panting, pawing the dust in clouds over his back, when the man that had been wounded returned to the ring on a remount, a poor
blindfolded2 wreck3 that yet had something ironically military about his bearing—and the next moment the bull had ripped him open and his bowls were dragging upon the ground: and the bull was charging his
swarm4 of pests again. Then came
pealing5 through the air a bugle-call that froze my blood—“It is I, Soldier—come!” I turned; Cathy was flying down through the massed people; she cleared the parapet at a bound, and sped towards that riderless horse, who staggered forward towards the remembered sound; but his strength failed, and he fell at her feet, she
lavishing6 kisses upon him and
sobbing7, the house rising with one impulse, and white with horror! Before help could reach her the bull was back again—
She was never conscious again in life. We bore her home, all
mangled8 and
drenched
