From Sheri S. Tepper's _Wizard's_Eleven_ (the third book in the True Game
series) [Ace, 1984] :
p 43. "He went away leading my lovely tall black horse and came back with a
high-stepping mare of an unusual yellow color with nubby shoes such as
they use along the River Dourt, or so Yarrel had once told me. It was
not an inconspicuous animal."
p 58. "'Get rid of that yellow horse and his strange shoes.'" [!]
p 76-77 "The yellow horse I had told him to get rid of was cavorting in a
paddock near the Inn, nubby shoes and all. ... 'He's a good horse.
No need to trade him off just yet.'"
Tut, tut. She to it, within that tiny space between sentences. And then on to
he, a mere 15 pages later. Needless to say, there are not TWO yellow horses
nor more than one horse with such shoes.
>Sigh< However, I very much like Sheri Tepper's novels and I recommend them
(at least, to those who enjoy fantasy) (-: or to those, who hate good fantasy,
that I detest immensely :-) .
