Can you recast the letters of these sentences so that either of them forms the same homely proverb, to which the first anagram is most akin?

[Solution]

No. XXVII.—ACTION AND PASSION

This very resolute horse and his anxious driver take quite different views of the situation shown in this picture.

We can fancy that the fast trotter, if he could be endowed with speech, would say, “I’m a train’d stepper!”

Can you take these same letters, and recast them into a sentence which would seem to express the driver’s point of view?

[Solution]

17. A SHORT CHARADE

My first of rudeness has a sound;
The rest is in a city found;
My whole to win its way is bound.
