He got up and staggered to the fence to look down the road, but no one came by save the jogging old gray and carryall, with Aunt Polly grim and offended and Uncle Joab meek and depressed beside her. Could he have missed the bridal carriage when he was at the other end of the lot? Could they have gone another way?
Now, Miss Mollie, what yer s'pose hez come ob dat ar mule an' carryall? Dat's de question." "I'm sure I don't know, 'Gena, said Mollie thoughtfully. "Ner I don't know, nuther," was the response; "but it's jes my notion dat whar dey is, right dar yer'll fin' Nimbus an' Berry, an' not fur off from dem yer'll find Bre'er 'Liab." "You may be right," said her listener, musingly.
And suppose her mother should decide to leave the horse at the place proposed for stopping and waiting for the first pedestrian party, and herself walk on, no one would be left to tell the rest, when they should come up to the carryall. They might go on so, through the whole journey, without meeting, and she might not be missed till they should reach her grandfather's! Horrible thought!
"Peleg, have you gone back on us?" demanded George Granbury. "He ought to have a ducking for that," put in another. "Let's dump him into the lake!" "Come on, a cold bath will do him good!" "No! no! Oh, crickey!" groaned the driver of the carryall. "This is a mess! I I didn't mean nuthin', gents, indeed, I didn't "
He ran into the house to tell his mother that the carryall had come, and to bid her good morning, and then he came out to the gate. "James," said Rollo, "you may sit on the front seat with Jonas, if you want to." James said he should like to very much; and so Rollo stepped over behind, and sat with his mother.
When Reff Ritter heard about the accidents he shrugged his shoulders and tossed his head. "That's what they get for crowding us out of the carryall," he said to Coulter and Paxton, who roomed with him. "Yes, and it serves 'em right," grumbled Coulter. "That's what!" chimed in Paxton. It was not until two days later that Andy Snow felt like himself again.
John kept calling, even while his wife and children were climbing down, unaided, from the great carryall. His voice proclaimed its own story, and Lucy Ann heard it with surprise. "Lucy! Lucy Ann!" he cried. "You here? You show yourself, if you're all right." Before they reached the front door, Lucy Ann had opened it and stood there, gently welcoming. "Yes, here I be," said she.
He, with his sister, was soon at the Cliffords', and found the rockaway the strong old carryall with which Gertrude already had tender associations in readiness. Maggie had agreed to chaperon the party, little Ned having been easily bribed to remain with his father. Miss Hargrove had looked wistfully at the Clifford mansion as she drew near to it.
He rested a few moments more, and then suddenly heard the sound of wheels and presently saw, coming around the curve, an old-fashioned carryall, worn and muddy, and, driving the horse at a jog trot, a man as dilapidated-looking as the vehicle. Gladdened at the sight, he arose, and holding up his hand as a signal, halted the team.
He did not interrupt Harlan, who was busy at his desk. He picked up one of the newspapers that covered the General's table, and marched out into the garden. He joined them when they came out. The General's old-fashioned carryall conveyed them to the railroad station. They made the journey to the capital without a word of reference to the purpose of their trip.
