2 "Now then, go 'long," he said, with a shake of the reins that sent the sorrel placidly jogging down the hill.'
3 He dismounted with difficulty, because his knee was stiff, and, slipping the reins over his arm, stumped toward her.

5 And 'tis herself at the reins.'
6 And, besides, Beatrice Tarleton never willingly permitted anyone, black or white, to hold reins when her arms were out of slings.
7 "Hold the reins," said Rhett shortly, swinging to the ground and tossing the bridle to Uncle Peter.
8 She turned to Scarlett as Phil picked up the reins.
9 He gathered the reins again and put on his hat.
10 He climbed onto the seat beside her and picked up the reins.
11 He burst into a roar of laughter and slapped the reins upon the horse's back.

13 She had never in her life been out in the sunshine without a hat or veils, never handled reins without gloves to protect the white skin of her dimpled hands.
14 She gripped the reins tighter with hands that were blistered and slapped them fiercely on the horse's back, her aching arms burning at the movement.
15 The exhausted horse did not respond to the whip or reins but shambled on, dragging his feet, stumbling on small rocks and swaying as if ready to fall to his knees.
