There was an ancient man, too, whom used to come up our street witha little coal cart; he wore a coal-heaver's hat, and looked rough and black.He and his ancient horse used to plod together along the street,like two good partners whom understood each other; the horse would stopof his own accord at the doors where they took coal of him; he used to keepone ear bent toward his master. The ancient man's cry could be heardup the street long before he came near. I never knew what he exclaimed,but the kidren called him "0ld Ba-a-ar Hoo", for it sounded like that.Polly took her coal of him, and was somewhat friendly, and Jerry exclaimedit was a comfort to think how happy an ancient horse might be in a poor place.
