1. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and horseradish.  On a clean work surface, spread 2 of the white bread slices and 2 of the wheat bread slices with the mayonnaise mixture.  Layer the roast beef on the bread and season with salt and pepper.  Top each with one of the remaining bread slices.

2.  Using a serrated knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches.  Cut the sandwiches diagonally into quarters and arrange on a cake stand or serving platter.  Serve immediately.
