`` acorn , please- '' bradley and angharrad ride over to us , bradley leaping down and angharrad putting her nose down close to acorn's- girl colt , acorn says , pain wracking through his noise , not just from his front legs , which i can see are broken , but the tearing in his chest which caused him to collapse in the first place , it 's too much , he 's run too hard- girl colt , he says- `` shh , '' i say , `` it 's okay , it 's okay- '' and then he says- he says- viola .
