Hawkesbury, at the last moment, discovered that he was going without paying the bill; while Masham, having once made himself comfortable in the bar parlour, flatly refused to be moved, and had finally to be left behind. The only consolation in this was that I had the tail of the dogcart to myself, which was infinitely preferable to the odious society of Masham.
Henshaw arranged for the horse and smashed dogcart to be fetched from the scene of the accident, and then he asked where in the town he should escort me. "I thanked him and said, a good deal to his surprise, that I was not going to stop in Branchester, but would hire a fly and drive to my destination.
The day after the wedding, as Arthur was going home from work, he saw Ross on the lofty seat of a dogcart, driving toward him along lower Monroe Street. His anger instantly flamed and flared; he crushed an oath between his teeth and glanced about for some way to avoid the humiliating meeting. But there was no cross street between him and the on-coming cart.
"The dogcart is round," she said. "Are you ready, Ju, dearest? Dear little Judy! be brave, little old woman." But Judy was white as death, and utterly limp. She suffered Esther to put her hat on, to help her into her new jacket, to put her gloves into her hand.
On the bridge, however, Roberta felt quite safe, because she could look down on the canal, and if any boy showed signs of meaning to throw coal, she could duck behind the parapet. Presently there was a sound of wheels, which was just what she expected. The wheels were the wheels of the Doctor's dogcart, and in the cart, of course, was the Doctor. He pulled up, and called out: "Hullo, head nurse!
Want a lift?" "I wanted to see you," said Bobbie. "Your mother's not worse, I hope?" said the Doctor. "No but " "Well, skip in, then, and we'll go for a drive." Roberta climbed in and the brown horse was made to turn round which it did not like at all, for it was looking forward to its tea I mean its oats. "This IS jolly," said Bobbie, as the dogcart flew along the road by the canal.
It was perfect, so were the horses, so was the groom in his neat livery, so was the dogcart waiting for the luggage, so was the magnificent retriever that ran with the carriage. What a drive it was! Of all seasons, in all climes, give me an English spring. The hedges were covered with white and pink hawthorn; the apple trees were all in bloom; the air was redolent of mariets.
The narrow deep windows overlooked Florence, a somber expanse of roofing; and, coming rapidly toward the villa, Lavinia could see a tall dogcart, with a groom and two passengers. They were men; and, as they drew nearer, Lavinia with a sudden pounding of her heart realized the cause of the slight friction between the two women.
Still he didn't play very much that day. Mother sent the Toyman over to the Cricket farm to ask Johnny's mother to let her boy stay for the night. He did for three whole days and great fun they had with Little Geeup, and the red dogcart, and the little lame boy, giving Wienerwurst rides to make him all well.
Thus the clothes of ghosts, their properties, and their actions affecting physical objects, are not more difficult to explain than a naked ghost would be, they are all the "stuff that dreams are made of". But occasionally things are carried to a great pitch, as when a ghost drives off in a ghostly dogcart, with a ghostly horse, whip and harness.
