`Well, I've got nothing to say against a surprise, out in a hole like this;
but it 'ud take a lot to surprise me. What am I to say to Mary
about taking the two horses in? I'll only want one to bring the cart out,
`Tell her you're going to get yours shod.'
`But he had a set of slippers only the other day. She knows as much
about horses as we do. I don't mind telling a lie so long as a chap
has only got to tell a straight lie and be done with it.
But Mary asks so many questions.'
