...found who was ready to prove that the plan was unworkable. The university's ruling Hebdomadal Council met in deepest secrecy and significantly failed to endorse the new scheme.

Over the years, in one way or another, he broke both legs, smashed a shoulder, fractured his spine, suffered a brain concussion and broke a foot. Somehow he also managed to develop a superb sense of timing. He learned how to break from the gate a stride on top, how to rate his horse when he was running in front.
