Description "Buttercup's mother scraped the stew leavings into a bowl. 'Here,' she said to her daughter. 'Westley's waiting by the back door; take him his dinner.'

Buttercup carried the bowl, opened the back door.

'Take it,' she said.

He nodded, accepted, started off to his tree stump to eat.

'I didn't excuse you, Farm Boy,' Buttercup began. He stopped, turned back to her. 'I don't like what you're doing with Horse. What you're not doing with Horse is more to the point. I want him cleaned. Tonight. I want his hoofs varnished. Tonight. I want his tail plaited and his ears massaged. This very evening. I want his stables spotless. Now. I want him glistening, and if it takes you all night, it takes you all night.'

'As you wish.'

She slammed the door and let him eat in darkness."

According to the book - "The horse's name was 'Horse' (Buttercup was never long on imagination) and it ame when she called it, went where she steered it, did what she told it."

Blue jeans have been around for a while. Glad you like it. I love the book because it has so much more detail. I hate the book because it makes Buttercup look so incredibly stupid.

You don't get to see this in the movie, but it happened in the book. She's ticked off because, though she hasn't realized it yet, she's in love with Westley and she thinks she has competition. Count Ruegan and his wife (yep, he was married) visited Buttercup's farm on the pretense of studying her father's cows, but really just wanting to see how beautiful Buttercup was. The Countess immediately became smitten with Westley (well, he was glistening and shirtless...) and Buttercup has created a fancy in her mind that Westley fell in love with the Countess and how can a dairy maid compete with aristocracy?

Of course, we have to take into account that Buttercup is only sixteen and not all that bright. The movie gives her a lot more credit and brains (which is why I like the movie a bit better)
