Rollo, who appeared from the corner or the house, mounted on an old grey cob, who switched his tail and moved his ears as if he thought going out at that time of day a peculiar proceeding. Dingee staid the rider with the delivery of his young lady's message. 'I am afraid supper's more than ready somewhere else.
'Spect now dese yere growed in Missee Hazel's own greenhouse, he said, tauntingly, 'seein' she ain't got none! Shouldn't wonder if dey started up spontanous like, arter de shower. How you tink, Mas' Gotham, hey? But Gotham was virtuously indignant. 'Miss 'Azel'll get her head worse turned than it h'is now, he said. 'Heads does turn, fact, said Dingee, shaking his own.
'What is your view, practically, of things at present, Miss Kennedy? 'Mr. Falkirk says I never took a practical view of things in my life, Mr. Rollo. The impracticable view seems to be, that it is tea time and I ought to go home. 'What do you think of the plan of letting Mr. Falkirk know where you are? 'Yes, I ought to do that, said his ward, 'Where is Dingee? I will send him right off.
And instead of that she must keep her place and she did, with the most ladylike quietness. Mr. Falkirk had reason to be content with her for once. 'Nobody waiting, is there, Dingee? said Mr. Falkirk. 'Ye' sir. 'Take him this, and send him off politely; but no message, Dingee, if you want to wag your tongue in this house! 'Ye' sir. Got to be one somehow, sure! said Dingee.
'He been on hand, powerful! 'I daresay you delivered the message quite right, Dingee, said the gentleman, not at all surprised at its tenor; and giving the boy something to justify the showing of his ivories again, he went away And the bay walked every step of the road down the hill through the woods to the gates of Chickaree; but from there he went in a long straight gallop home.
Relinquishing this respectable creature to Dingee, Wych Hazel perched herself upon Vixen and set forth; walking the colt now to keep by her little guide, but promising herself a good trot on the way home. The child had come to show her the way, and went in a shuffling amble by the side of the colt's black legs.
'H'after'er, he said. 'Looks more as if she was h'after them wanting fourteen dresses at once. Dingee shewed his teeth from ear to ear. 'You bery wise man, Mas' Gotham! he said. 'Spect now you can tell a feller all about dese yere. And Dingee threw off the white paper which covered what he carried this time, and displayed to Gotham's astonished eyes a basket full of bouquets.
Dingee evidently enjoyed his share in the business, for his white teeth were in a glitter. 'Mass' Morton, Miss Hazel. He done send 'em to my young mistiss, wid his greatest 'spects. He say he done percolate de Hollow and couldn't find nuffin more gorgeous, or he's send him. 'Dingee! said his young mistress, flashing round upon him, 'do you venture to bring me a made-up message?
'Yes, my dear, said her guardian, passing his hand over his face; 'no doubt my mind is in the condition you suggest. I am probably enchanted; which does not help me to guard you from falling into the same awkward condition. But, Miss Hazel, I have engaged a new groom for you. I desire that you will take him with you instead of Dingee. Dingee is no more than a monkey.
'How many servants in your train, Miss Hazel? 'None, sir. Mrs. Bywank is there already, and Mrs. Saddler can "forward" me "with care." I'll pick up a new maid by the way. 'Will you pick up a page too? or does Dingee keep his place? 'If he can be said to have one. O, Dingee, of course. 'Wych Hazel, said Mr. Falkirk from under his brows, 'what is your plan? if you are capable of such a thing.
