A Brooklyn boy gets a job... «Daniel Martin»

Each morning he saddles a horse and leads it round to the front of the mansion and waits for the daughter of the house to come down the steps and to for her ride. He falls in love with her - so badly that he begins to mope, to eat nothing. One day the stable master takes the boy on one side. The boy tells him what it’s all about; how the girl never speaks to him, never looks at him, seems unaware he exists. ‘Listen,’ says the older man, ‘you gotta do sump’n with dames they have to notice.’ ‘Like what?’ ‘Like paint her horse orange. She has to notice that. You get talking. Then you’re in.’ That night the boy paints the horse bright orange from nose to tail. The next morning hesaddles it up, then leads it round to the steps in front of the house. The girl comes down, stops, stares at the horse, then at the boy holding it. ‘Someone’s painted that horse orange!’ ‘Yeah. Me. Let’s fuck.’
