Explore "Doc. Gordon" by Mary E. Wilkins on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The next morning James was awakened by loud voices coming from the vicinity of the stable. He had not slept very well, and now at dawn felt drowsy, but the voices would not let him sleep. He rose, dressed, and went out in the stable-yard. There he found Doctor Gordon, Aaron, and a strange man, small, and red-haired, and thin-faced, with shifty eyes, holding by the bridle a fine black horse.
"Don't want to buy a horse with a bridle on," Doctor Gordon was saying as James appeared.
