Then they heard deep laughter, and swiveled their heads, noticing the other man: shorter and broader at the shoulder, holding by the halter a restive brown horse sporting four handsome white stockings. He called something to the balancing man in delighted Rom; they heard him say “Samuel” again. It all sounded like approbation. And that the young man’s name was Samuel.

Then the broader man swung himself up onto the brown horse and nudged and clucked it into a gallop.

“They’re horse acrobats,” Jonathan murmured. “They travel the country. They make most of their money at the Cambridge Horse Fair.”

The man atop the brown horse man levered himself into a standing position, and the two horses, nudged by the feet, the muscles, the Rom commands of the men, carried their cargoes toward each other at a determined canter.

Violet gripped Cynthia’s arm. “What are they doing? I can’t look!”

But she was, of course, not only looking, but feasting on the spectacle. Excitement crackled from her. And Jonathan and Argosy, being men—riveted by anything that appeared dangerous or could kill them, or so it seemed to Cynthia—were motionless, too.

The animals drew abreast, and the men leaped from the horses in unison.

The quartet gasped, and Violet clutched Cynthia’s arm.

There was an airborne eternity that in truth lasted only a second as the men sailed past each other. The stocky man landed neatly on the back of Samuel’s mount, strong thighs flexing to a crouch, then pushing upward to stand.

The slim man crashed into the side of the brown horse, scrabbled futilely for a grip, then slid ignominiously to land in a heap on the ground.
