Chapter 31: A Humbug
Chapter 31: A Humbug begins with the arrival of Alfred Smirk, a groom hired for his appearance rather than his ability. Tall, confident, and well-dressed, Smirk impresses the master with polished boots and smooth manners. To the casual eye, he seems perfect—always brushing Beauty’s mane, oiling his hooves, and keeping his coat shining. But these efforts are only skin deep. While Smirk ensures Beauty looks good when the master is around, he fails at the fundamental tasks of a groom. The saddle is put on…-

Though still strong, he knows…-

Chapter 19: Only Ignorance
Chapter 19: Only Ignorance opens during a slow and painful recovery for Black Beauty, who remains weak after a serious bout of illness. The fever had left him drained, and a harsh bloodletting treatment had worsened his condition. He was moved to a quieter stall, away from Ginger and Merrylegs, where the silence made every faint sound more noticeable. In this stillness, Beauty became acutely aware of even the subtlest movement—of hooves outside, or the rustle of hay. He was too weak to lift his head for…-

Resting near the stand, Beauty notices a worn cab being pulled by a thin chestnut mare, barely able to lift her legs as she strains against the shafts. Her ribs are visible through her dull coat, and her knees look swollen and stiff with overuse. There is no grace left in her step, only the trembling of a body pushed far beyond its strength. The mare…-
