Riding Mechanic

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or mechanic:

“But, after the war was over, just think what came to pass—
A letter, sir; and the two were safe back in the old Bluegrass.
The lad had got across the border, riding Kentucky Belle;
And Kentuck she was thriving, and fat, and hearty, and well;
He cared for her, and kept her, nor touched her with whip or spur:
Ah! we’ve had many horses, but never a horse like her!”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)

“Writing, madam, ‘s a mechanic part of wit! A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet.”
