\u201cWhat are you saying, Mrs. Bridgestone? That our foal is descended from the first horse? I suppose that could be true\u2026\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNo, dear. Not just any horse, but one of the blessed incarnations of the Angel that so loved Mankind he forsook Paradise.\u201d Mrs. Bridgestone smoothed her dress nervously. \u201cI know how it must sound, but all religions have a story of the Creator giving the horse to mankind. Paganism, Christianity, Islam\u2014think of Pegasus! Is not the winged, white horse the very image of an angel?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell … yes,\u201d Jennifer answered carefully. \u201cI suppose. Is this a good thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly a Great Horse is most often a blessing. Quiet service is a horse\u2019s way.\u201d The woman hesitated. \u201cHowever, there is a certain prophecy concerning this incarnation. This Great Horse carries a somewhat … dark description, if we believe the sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise is a palomino,\u201d Meagan said, disappointed. \u201cDoes a Great Horse have to be dark?\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman smiled. \u201cYou are very attentive, Meagan, and that is an excellent quality. The equestrian influence, no doubt. To answer your questions, perhaps we should see more of the Great Horses in history. Nelson?\u201d After taking assistance to rise from the couch, Mrs. Bridgestone proceeded alone. Jennifer followed the woman to a glass case at one end of the room, holding Meagan\u2019s hand tightly.<\/p>\n
