The Dork Lord
Whipping Boy
The two cart-horses, Gagh and Gonad, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal concealed in the straw. Gonad was a stout motherly mare approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth foal. Gagh was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate intelligence, but he was universally respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous powers of work.
