In this position he was unable to get a direct attack upon the man, but he managed to gore him badly and tear his clothes to pieces. The cowman, hearing E. calling, came back and rescued him, the bull becoming quite docile with his regular attendant. Poor E. was black and blue when he got home in the pony-cart, and was laid up for many weeks afterwards. He undoubtedly had a very narrow escape.
"I am ordering a pony-cart," she said, "to take Mr. Guest back. He seems over-fatigued." "Very thoughtful of you, Lady Dennisford," I answered. "We certainly did not mean to walk so far when we came out into the park." A servant entered the room. She gave him some orders, and then, with a word of excuse to Adele, she came over to my side.
"I don't really think I could." Just then the pony-cart came round. The rector said no more for the time being; and a few minutes later, the young Singletons and Miss Carter having promised to arrive at The Follies on Thursday, Irene, Rosamund, and Miss Frost took their leave. "Well, now, wasn't I a darling? Didn't I behave well?" said Irene.
And as the spinster-sempstress departed by the train, so the sister-in-law departed in a pony-cart, with a son and a grandmother in the pony- cart, together with such goods as the cart would hold; and, through staggering adventures, reached safety at Troyes. "And how did you yourself get on?" I asked the spinster-sempstress. She answered: "It was terrible.

"Oh, no; I mean you'll marry him when you're old enough, but you'd better tell him right away." "I see; I'd better speak immediately. Thank you, dear, for suggesting it." "You're quite welcome," said the child seriously; "and I hope you'll be as happy as I am." "I hope so," said Eileen as the pony-cart drew up by the veranda and a groom took the pony's head.
A pony-cart was at the station to meet her, with Viva and Inda clinging together on the front seat, ready to pour breathless confidences into her ear the moment she appeared.
"Oh, naturally," said Delia, lightly, "the cricket match was far more important. And, of course, the Professor wouldn't mind. Why should he?" She nodded and passed on, just as Isabel came out of the shop. "Wasn't that Delia Hunt?" said Isabel, as she got into the pony-cart; "what is the matter? Her face looked like the sky when thunder is coming."
That bright, clear, cold Sunday was followed by a week or two of milder but very disagreeable weather almost constant rain and very few glimpses indeed of blue sky or sunshine. Miss Mouse arrived every morning muffled up almost to her eyes to keep her dry in the pony-cart, and most afternoons the close carriage was sent from Caryll to fetch her.
The person who guided us to the cave was an ordinary working man of the village apparently a blacksmith a well-informed, intelligent person who left his smithy, opposite the Protestant temple at which our pony-cart drew up, to show us over the place; and he took pride in relating the traditions which continue to be handed down from father to son relating to the great Camisard war of the Cevennes.
