As for Colonel Cockshott, whom I had once suspected of a desire to be my rival, he had long become a 'negligible quantity; and if I delayed in asking Diana to trust me with her sweet self, it was only because I found an epicurean pleasure in prolonging a suspense that was so little uncertain. And then, without warning, my riding was interrupted for a while.
I only knew myself this afternoon, when she came in from her ride. Colonel Cockshott has proposed and she has accepted him. We're so pleased about it. Wasn't dear Mrs. delightful in that last act? I positively saw real tears on her face! If I had waited much longer she would have seen a similar display of realism on mine.
'When a horse gets accustomed to one he does so resent a strange hand: it spoils his temper for days. I never will lend Wild Rose to anybody for that very reason! The Colonel fell back in the rear in a decided sulk. 'Poor dear Colonel Cockshott! said Diana, 'he is so proud of his riding, but I think he dragoons a horse. I don't call that riding, do you?
'I wish you would let me try his paces some morning, Pulvertoft, struck in a Colonel Cockshott, who was riding with them, and whom I knew slightly: 'I've a notion he would go better on the curb. 'I shall be very happy, I began, when, just in time, I noticed a warning depression in Brutus's ears. The Colonel rode about sixteen stone, and with spurs!
'And I was about to forgive her! I saw: my insinuation, baseless enough at the beginning, was now but too well justified. Colonel Cockshott was on his raw-boned brown hunter, and even my brief acquaintance with horses enabled me to see that Wild Rose no longer regarded him with her former indifference. Diana and the Colonel had reined up and seemed waiting for me would Brutus never move?
