It feels wonderful to get clean after days of sweating in the heat, and despite his constant distrustful glances to the creature ashore, he can't help but feel soothed and relaxed by the water. Thou shalt but cleave to thy duty, he quotes inwardly to himself, and the snares of the false and wicked shall be to thee as the games of wayward children. In the morning he stands apart from the group, stretching to warm up his aching muscles for the long day ahead, as the rest of them take their leave of the glorified horse.</blockquote>
