I have just written:
I could, however, see the horses of extravagance reined sharply in, and feel the grit of economy beneath the heels of my shoes.
It's not so much a darling of the day, more an example to itself: these very words are the horses of extravagance, and much in need of sharp reining.
But I may let them stand anyway, just because. We can't always walk barefoot in the grit.
