We're taking care of you." Then the little girl remembered. "The ponies!" she cried. "Are they hurt?" "I'm afraid one of them is," said Kink. "But never mind now. The great thing is that you weren't thrown out. Keep quiet now, missie, and we'll look after everything." But the little girl would not be silenced. "Which one is hurt?" she asked. "Which one? Is it Marshall or Snelgrove?"
They said we could not walk so far, which is rot, of course; but I'm glad we didn't, because then we shouldn't have been here to save your life." "Mother will be very grateful to you for being so kind," said Patricia. "Poor mother! she'll be so frightened about me. And Tommy how dreadful for him to lose Snelgrove!" "Who's Tommy?" Gregory asked. "Tommy's my brother," said Patricia. "He's twelve.
Emily was quite of opinion that young Newton should by no means have been allotted to Gus. Lady Eardham, who had played bésique with an energy against which Josephine would have mutinied but that some promise was made as to Marshall and Snelgrove, could see from her little table that young Newton was neither abject nor triumphant in his manner.
"To-night, damsel, shalt thou sleep in fine linen, and to-morrow, so it please you, shalt fare homeward in thy father's chariot, leaving in that progress a ravaged Marshall and Snelgrove, an eviscerated Lewis, and the house of Harrod but a warehouse of mourning."

There's Jerningham, and young Denton, and Snelgrove, and Ensign D'Arcy, and hosts beside. Lud, Sir Mortimer, where are your eyes? Look there! and there! and there again!" And, with little darting movements of her fan, she indicated certain young gentlemen, who strolled to and fro upon the lawn; now, in the lapel of each of their coats was a single, red rose.
Then she dashed back for a piece of sugar, and was off again. The boy said that the blacksmith, who was also a farrier, had seen Marshall, and declared he was quite sound; but Snelgrove was done for completely, and the trap was too badly smashed ever to be much use. "Put Marshall in the stable," said Aunt May, "and have the trap brought here."
Aunt May gave Snelgrove to him and Marshall to me last Christmas. They've never run away before. I wish we had a caravan." "Caravans are very jolly," said Gregory. "Things are always happening, too." "I'd rather have a sweet grey pony than a caravan," said Hester, bringing a cup of tea.
