Chapter VII
The jockey turned away, humble, and much affected. When he came up to where Chester was at work, he spoke to him in a friendly tone, and asked where he should commence. "Follow after me, if you please," said the young man, with real kindness in his tones. The quarrel seemed forgotten. In a little while, Sam came limping to the field with a jug of fresh water.
