The face of The Great Chaffalo. “You saved me, for certain,” declared Touch, his heart still banging away. “I’m mighty grateful, sir. And thankful for the horse.” For the first time Touch looked down at the high-legged stallion under him. It was a bay with a golden mane and a hide as fine as China silk. “More’n I reckoned for, sir!” Touch exclaimed. “A plow horse would have done me fine. This must be the prettiest horse this side of sunset.” “It is,” agreed The Great Chaffalo with an air of pride. “Although I might have done a tad better with the tail. I’m somewhat out of practice.” Touch felt bedazzled. “I can’t imagine how you do it, sir!” “A bit of straw and a touch of midnight,” remarked The Great Chaffalo with a lofty smile. “It was a secret passed on to me by a Hey Hey Man in the Black Forest. A fellow trickster.” And Touch said, “I was in the coach early this morning when you jumped on the roof.” “I do like to kick up my heels, now and then. Did I frighten you?” “No, sir. Not exactly. I was almighty curious, though. I’d never seen a haunt before.” “A haunt! I’ve never haunted anything. I regard that as slander. Do I look like a frail wisp of smoke?” “No, sir,” replied Touch quickly. “You look big as life.” “Bigger!” declared The Great Chaffalo, with a sharp lift of one eyebrow. “Of course, sir,” said Touch, becoming a little nervous. The magician kept piercing him with his black poster eyes. “You must swear not to tell anyone how you came by this horse,” said the Great Chaffalo. “I don’t want every farm boy turning up with a bundle of straw.” “I swear it, sir.” “Ride on, Touch.” And with a snap of his long fingers, The Great Chaffalo was gone.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sid Fleischman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sid-fleischman/he-peered-through-a-broken-window-and-saw-a-face-the-face-of-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b9/sid-fleischman-37357_first-time_he-peered-through-a-broken-window-and-sa_3219899.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b9/sid-fleischman-37357_first-time_he-peered-through-a-broken-window-and-sa_3219899.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3b9/sid-fleischman-37357_first-time_he-peered-through-a-broken-window-and-sa_3219899.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He peered through a broken window and saw a face.
