[PB: Notice how she says was prompted to write this book by the death in 1880 of Sultan, "a singularly docile and useful little horse" which she bought and rode in Turkey, and had brought back to England after the war: "His death seemed to recall to memory the many scenes in which he had served me so usefully, and had became a sort of sharer in them (p.2)."
