"Better get back," thought Tom; and then he uttered a low whistle, and broke into a trot, with a new burden on his back in the shape of the bath-chair, for he had suddenly recollected Uncle James's complaint about not having been out for a ride. Sure enough when he reached the garden David met him. "Master's been a-shouting for you, sir. Yes, there he goes again."
He trembled with fear and made for another tree, where the very same thing happened to him, and he fell a-shouting, calling upon Don Quixote to come and protect him.
