But the strongest proof, gentlemen, of the fact that I mount horses because of my misfortune, and not from insolence, as this man alleges, is this: if I were a man of means, I should ride on a saddled mule, and would not mount other mens horses. But in fact, as I am unable to acquire anything of the sort, I am compelled, now and again, to use other mens horses.
