THE January morning was moist and fresh as Lady Eliza and Cecilia / Raeburn, with a groom following them, rode towards that part of the / country where the spacious pasture-land began. The sun was at their / backs and their shadows were shortening in front of them as it rose / higher. The plum-coloured riding-habit was still in existence, a little / more weather-stained, and holding together with a tenacity that / provoked Cecilia, who had pronounced it unfit for human wear and been / disregarded.
Rocket, the bay mare, was pulling at her rider and sidling along the / road, taking no count of remonstrance, for she had not been out for / several days.
