Coming down the road, on a swift gallop, with the reins flying, was a spirited horse, dragging a fashionable dog-cart, which, as it swayed from side to side, showed that it contained a single person, a lady, who had lost control of the animal. "That looks bad," muttered Tom, his heart leaping with natural excitement. "She is likely to be killed."
They had almost reached the entrance gate of Culvercoombe before he reduced the affronted horse to a trot, and Doctor Glasson, who had been clutching the rail of the dog-cart in acutest physical terror, had no nerve as yet to resume the conversation. A couple of aged mastiff bitches mothers in their time, and now great-grandmothers, of a noble race lay sunning themselves before the house-porch.

A dog-cart driven by Chris brought herself and her companion into Moreton Wells in an hour, Frank had struck off across country in the direction of the nearest station. The appearance of himself in More ton Wells on the front of a dog-cart from the Castle would have caused a nine days' wonder. "Now, what I want to impress upon you is this," said Chris. "Mr.

"I shall never forget that," said he, "but I see I am not to be free from the memory, at least, of the curb and the cage." After breakfast on Monday the three discarded lovers departed in a dog-cart, Mr. Du Brant in front with the driver, and Claude Locker and Hemphill behind.
Leave it to William and come along; it will be all right;" and he led the way out of the station, where there was a dog-cart with another liveried servant on the seat, and a handsome nag in the shafts, waiting at the door.
Around the stables, and the proposed indignity put upon Patch and the horses, this wretched quarrel centred so as at once a vote of confidence and declaration of independence to the stables Damaris finally went and ordered the dog-cart at three o'clock. For she would drive, and drive, throughout the course of this gilded September afternoon.
