We do not mean, of course, that the\u003cbr\u003epony was affectionately attached to it.  No; the attachment was\u003cbr\u003einvoluntary and unavoidable, by reason of a brand-new yellow leather\u003cbr\u003eharness with brass buckles.  It objected to the attachment, obviously,\u003cbr\u003efor it sidled this way, and straddled that way, and whisked its enormous\u003cbr\u003elittle tail, and tossed its rotund little head, and stamped its\u003cbr\u003eridiculously small feet; and champed its miniature bit, as if it had\u003cbr\u003ebeen a war-horse of the largest size, fit to carry a Wallace, a Bruce,\u003cbr\u003eor a Richard of the Lion-heart, into the midst of raging battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd no wonder; for many months had not elapsed since that brown creature\u003cbr\u003ehad kicked up its little heels, and twirled its tail, and shaken its\u003cbr\u003eshaggy mane in all the wild exuberance of early youth and unfettered\u003cbr\u003efreedom on the heather hills of its native island.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the four-wheeled basket sat a little girl whom it is useless to\u003cbr\u003edescribe as beautiful.  She was far beyond that!  Her delicate colour,\u003cbr\u003eher little straight nose, her sparkling teeth, her rosebud of a mouth,\u003cbr\u003eher enormous blue eyes, and floods of yellow hair--pooh! these are not\u003cbr\u003eworth mentioning in the same sentence with her expression.  It was that\u003cbr\u003ewhich carried all before it, and swept up the adoration of\u003cbr\u003eman-and-woman-kind as with the besom of fascination.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156674298096,"sku":"2940013296060","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013296060_p0.jpg?v=1763579369","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013296060","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
