The eldest boy went alone at first, but his brother soon insisted on going too. We decided to do like most of our country neighbors, that is, to have a little donkey-cart, because it would have been both inconvenient and expensive to hire the farmer's so frequently.
Her own cook, who had been with her five years, made the cakes, and her own donkey-cart conveyed the same to the field where the repast was held. "Miss Deyncourt, will she be there?" asked Dare. Mrs. Alwynn explained that all the neighborhood, including the Thursbys, would be there; that she made a point of asking the Thursbys. "I also will come," said Dare, gravely.
Phosphate then lost its charm upon the proprietor of the donkey-cart, for it had caused him to 'eat all his economies, and he resigned himself to the wages of a road-mender, which were small but sure. It was getting dusk when we parted.
But since then, except very, very rarely in dreams, no creature has talked to a man, so far as I know. Perhaps you wish to warn me about something, or others through me, as the ass warned Balaam." "Who is Balaam? I never heard of Balaam. He wasn't the man who fetches dead pheasants in the donkey-cart, was he? If so, I've seen him make the ass talk with a thick stick. No?

Betty was supposed to drive, but Hugh and Sara had so large a share in the stage direction of that donkey, that I wonder we ever arrived. We did.
'You know I can manage her pretty well when it is only the little ones and they wouldn't have any pleasure otherwise. 'Oh come, Gill, intreated Fergus, 'or nurse will make us sit in the donkey-cart all the time while Lois picks the blackberries! 'Mamma, do tell her not to come, intreated Valetta, and more of them joined in with her.
