No pocos sentían revivir en sí antiguos hervores cada vez que, desde el tramo de camino que sesgaba la finca de Ferrier, veían a la muchacha afanarse, joven y ligera, en los campos de trigo, o gobernar el cimarrón de su padre con una destreza digna en verdad de un auténtico hijo del Oeste.
Many a wayfarer upon the high road which ran by Ferrier's farm felt long-forgotten thoughts revive in their mind as they watched her lithe girlish figure tripping through the wheatfields, or met her mounted upon her father's mustang, and managing it with all the ease and grace of a true child of the West.
