"You figure you can ride Ghost Wind, then get on. Just bring him back to the stable when you're finished so I can rub him down."

I dismounted, leaving the stallion with Mitchell, and headed toward the barn. Now, I truly expected that Mitchell would come after me with Ghost Wind. After all, despite my invitation, I knew Mitchell couldn't ride Ghost Wind. As far as I knew, Mitchell had never ridden more than a mule and had no idea how to ride a thoroughbred tornado like Ghost Wind. But instead of Mitchell following me, the next thing I knew, I heard a triumphant cry, turned, and saw Mitchell atop the stallion dashing across the meadow. For a moment all I could do was stand and stare. But then, as the stallion bucked, left the meadow, and headed for the woods, I suddenly found my legs and my voice, and I began running and screaming after Mitchell and the stallion. "Pull back the reins!" I hollered as I ran. "Mitchell, the reins! Pull back hard!" —The Land, Mildred D. Taylor Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions.
