Betsy amassed a brood of children, worried over their manners and education, "danced 24 couples till past four o'clock in the morning," and, as a matron of 19, sniffed that "the fashion now is to be almost naked, even old women show all their necks and back." Her happiness was in her marriage: "Mr. Fremantle very loving to his wife who is uncommonly attentive...

Surprisingly like tarpans in skull and build, the mares were bred to Przewalski stallions. Although none of the original brood mares was grey, when crossbred mares were bred to crossbred stallions, they occasionally produced tarpanlike, mouse-grey foals. By discarding the foals that inherited Przewalski heads, by selecting a color here, a skull shape there, working always to reproduce the most backward characteristics, Dr. Heck finally got a herd of horses with tarpan build and the typical tarpan color...
