Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Sker, Vol. 2 of 3 After a little more of this, and Ikey bragging all the time, though I saw nothing very wonderful, we turned the corner of a narrow street, and Opened into a broader one. Here there seemed to be no bullocks, such as had made us keep springs on our cables, but a 'very amazing lot of horses, trotting about, and parading, and rushing, most of them with their tails uphoisted, as if by discharging tackle. Among them stood men, making much of their virtues, and sink ing their faults (if they had any), and cracking a whip every now and then, with a style of applause toward them.
