This little hawk is one of the most active of the family, and from this fact it gets its name (Velox), meaning swift.
They soon found in which stalls were the horses they wanted, Velox being in the first stall and Dolly in the third.
On the other hand, Velox got to know, trust, love and obey his master.
Velox consilium sequitur pnitentia—Repentance generally follows hasty counsels.
The son was delighted with the gift, and took the best care of Velox, often feeding him with his own hand.
