Excerpt: ...chase joyfully; for every mile covered in that fleet fashion meant an added chance for Patsy''s life. Even the mosquitoes found themselves hopelessly out of the race and beat up harmlessly in the rear. So he galloped steadily upon the homeward trail; and a new discomfort forced itself upon his consciousness-the discomfort of swift riding while a sharp-cornered medicine-case of generous proportions thumped regularly against his leg.
