They require
Of Heaven the hearts of lions, breath of tigers,
Yea and the fierceness too.
Fletcher.

“Our horses,” said Morton, “will carry us no farther without rest or food, and we must try to obtain them here, if possible.”
So speaking, he led the way to the house. The place had every appearance of being inhabited. There was smoke issuing from the chimney in a considerable volume, and the marks of recent hoofs5 were visible around the door. They could even hear the murmuring of human voices within the house. But all the lower windows were closely secured; and when they knocked at the door, no answer was returned. After vainly calling and entreating6 admittance, they withdrew to the stable, or shed, in order to accommodate their horses, ere they used farther means of gaining admission. In this place they found ten or twelve horses, whose state of fatigue7, as well as the military yet disordered appearance of their saddles and accoutrements, plainly indicated that their owners were fugitive8 insurgents9 in their own circumstances.
