1 I grew dreadfully afraid, and the horses shared my fear.
2 You cannot deceive me, my friend; I know too much, and my horses are swift.
3 To-day Harker is out following up his clue, and Art and Quincey are looking after horses.
4 Without a word he shook his reins, the horses turned, and we swept into the darkness of the Pass.
5 Then the driver cracked his whip and called to his horses, and off they swept on their way to Bukovina.
6 I could see from the flash of our lamps, as the rays fell on them, that the horses were coal-black and splendid animals.
7 He lashed the horses unmercifully with his long whip, and with wild cries of encouragement urged them on to further exertions.
8 The only light was the flickering rays of our own lamps, in which the steam from our hard-driven horses rose in a white cloud.
9 The driver saw it at the same moment; he at once checked the horses, and, jumping to the ground, disappeared into the darkness.
10 As I stood, the driver jumped again into his seat and shook the reins; the horses started forward, and trap and all disappeared down one of the dark openings.

13 At last there came a time when the driver went further afield than he had yet gone, and during his absence, the horses began to tremble worse than ever and to snort and scream with fright.
14 At the first howl the horses began to strain and rear, but the driver spoke to them soothingly, and they quieted down, but shivered and sweated as though after a runaway from sudden fright.
15 The horses jumped about and reared, and looked helplessly round with eyes that rolled in a way painful to see; but the living ring of terror encompassed them on every side; and they had perforce to remain within it.
16 With joy I hurried to the window, and saw drive into the yard two great leiter-wagons, each drawn by eight sturdy horses, and at the head of each pair a Slovak, with his wide hat, great nail-studded belt, dirty sheepskin, and high boots.
17 Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the moonlit sky.
