Black Beauty

:14:00

But I would miss her.

:14:13

"Before long", "a man came"
to take me to Birtwick Park...

:14:16

...to live with Squire Gordon’s family.

:14:19

Just a moment! Molly!

:14:21

-Come here with that pony.
-Run, Merry. Faster!

:14:28

Please stay inside.
You’re still much too weak.

:14:31

I won’t break. I want to see him.

:14:34

It’s a horse. Nothing more, nothing less,
I promise.

:14:38

A beautiful horse!

:14:40

Beauty is as beauty does.
How was he, John?

:14:43

Perfect, sir.

:14:44

They were shooting rabbits near Highwood
and the guns went off.

:14:47

He pulled at such, and looked,
but he didn’t step off the path.

:14:51

-Did you, young fella?
-What shall we call him?

:14:54

We’ll decide over tea.
You must get out of this air.

:14:58

He’s as black as ebony.

:15:02

Ebony.

:15:04

Ebony.

:15:06

Sounds like “bones.”

:15:09

Settle him in the stables.

:15:11

Pleasure, sir.

:15:14

We’ll call him Blackbird,
after your uncle’s old horse.

:15:18

But Blackbird was ugly
and mean-tempered.

:15:22

-Wait. You’ve already named him.
-Pardon?

:15:26

-”Beauty is as beauty does.”
-That’s not a name.

:15:28

Yes, it is. Beauty.

:15:31

Black Beauty.

:15:35

A new name...

:15:37

...a new home...

:15:38

...and a stable full of new horses to meet.
