At nine o'clock a respectable carryall was placed at his disposal and he was driven out over a long yellow road, damp with the rain of the night before and shaded in places by overhanging trees. There were so many lovely wild flowers growing in the angles of the rail fences wild yellow and pink roses, elder flower, Queen Anne's lace, dozens of beautiful blooms, that Eugene was lost in admiration.
He and Colonel Wheeler were speedily lifting things from the carryall, while the Careys walked up the pathway together, thrilling with the excitement of the moment. Nancy breathed hard, flushed, and caught her mother's hand. "O Motherdy!" she said under her breath; "it's all happening just as we dreamed it, and now that it's really here it's like it's like a dedication, somehow.
Her face burned, for she thought that they were laughing at her; she wished with all her heart that she had not stopped to talk with him at the palings. The girls, indeed, were giggling as the carryall passed, and she heard somebody call out his name, but nevertheless he leaned out of the seat and waved his hat at her, amid a shout of laughter. Poor Cynthia! She did not look at him.
Sheila had been about to send little John-Ed around for Queenie and the carryall, but Orion put the boy aside with a self-assured grin. "Nobody ain't going to put you in the carriage, Ida May, but me," he declared. "I'll get the old mare." He seized his cap and went out. In a few minutes they had said good-bye, and the old couple and the girl went out on the church steps.
One by one, wagon after wagon fell out of the line, and turned off to the right or left, until there were left only the Gunns' big carryall, in which sat Hetty, with her two house-servants, an old black man and his wife, who had been in her father's house so long, that their original patronymic had fallen entirely out of use, and they were known as "Cæsar Gunn" and "Nan Gunn" the town over.
The carryall lurched up to the station came to a sudden stop, and out bounced who but Sawed-Off himself, loaded down with bundles, and yelling at the top of his voice: "Stop the train and wait for me. I'm going to Kingston, too!"
So long, Jerry. Git dap, Thousand Dollars!" Daniel complacently accepted this testimony to his monetary worth and jogged out of the yard. Fortunately appearances do not count for much in Orham, except in the summer, and the spectacle of five in a carryall is nothing out of the ordinary.
The October morning was clear and crisp and frosty, and the sun had not yet shown itself above the eastern hills, when Captain Markham's carryall drove to Aunt Barbara's gate, followed by the long democratic-wagon which was to take the baggage.
But from the gate all Wade could discern was the end of a white house and a corner of a brick chimney some forty yards distant; trees and shrubbery hid more of his neighbor's estate. Wade returned to the front of the house, hands in his pockets, a tune on his lips. He had taken his valise from the back of the carryall before the driver, who was half asleep, discovered his presence.
She will blame me for it, and she will be right, for it would have been very well for me to drive up in a shabby station carryall; but an invited guest " "No, indeed, she shall not blame you, Miss Shirley. I will make a point of taking the whole responsibility. I will tell her " "Mr. Merriam!" she cried, in anguish. "Will you please do nothing of the kind? Do you want to make bad worse?
