Here, Hemingway is describing the scenery with great detail. He builds the scene around the reader giving them many senses to form their view. He includes the word "clippety-clopping" in order to engage the readers sense of hearing. When I read this it made me imagine a carriage slowly riding down a bumpy street. This helps the reader to become more involved with the scene. He describes the scene with detail so he can paint what he wants in their minds, but also leaves some room for imagination. This is my personal favorite part of books. You get to use some of your own imagination to create a scene, unlike in movies.
