"Well, Irene, it is just this: I want to go and see the Singletons this afternoon, and your mother says we may have the governess-cart, and if they ask us to stay to tea we may stay." "We? What do you mean by 'we'?" Irene backed away, her face crimson, her eyes dancing with all their old malignancy. "I mean," said Rosamund, "you and I and Miss Frost."
Cyril had once pointed out that ordinary life is full of occasions on which a wish would be most useful. And this thought filled his mind when he happened to wake early on the morning after the morning after Robert had wished to be bigger than the baker's boy, and had been it. The day that lay between these two days had been occupied entirely by getting the governess-cart home from Benenhurst.
There was a little old pony-cart in the coach-house the kind that is called a governess-cart. It seemed desirable to get to the Fair as quickly as possible, so Robert who could now take enormous steps and so go very fast indeed consented to wheel the others in this. It was as easy to him now as wheeling the Lamb in the mail-cart had been in the morning.
Yes, Tess said it WAS the governess-cart; and her answer was as solemn as Missy's question. It was that same "dinner" at the "vicarage" in Cherryvale one dines at mid-day, and the Presbyterian minister blindly believed he had invited the O'Neills for supper that gave Tess one of her most brilliant inspirations. It came to her quite suddenly, as all true inspirations do.
He tried to repress a shudder. 'I think, do you know, I ought to go to-day. 'Well, why not? Why not? Just to reassure yourself that all's well. And come back here to sleep. If you'd really promise that I'd drive you in. I'd love it. There's the jolliest little governess-cart we sometimes hire for our picnics.
Singleton was giving a feast to the poor children of the neighborhood; and when the governess-cart, containing Rosamund, Miss Frost, and Irene, arrived on the premises, there were no less than a hundred children enjoying tea on one of the lawns.
And this thought filled his mind when he happened to wake early on the morning after the morning after Robert had wished to be bigger than the baker's boy, and had been it. The day that lay between these two days had been occupied entirely by getting the governess-cart home from Benenhurst.
Miss Carter was called loudly by Maud, who requested her to help the little ones to play Puss-in-the-corner. The group broke up into different detachments, and by-and-by the time came when Rosamund whispered to Irene that it was necessary to order the governess-cart so that they might go home.
As we rattled in a sort of governess-cart, called sado, up the broad, palm-lined avenue which leads from Boeleleng to Singaradja, the seat of government, three miles away, I caught fleeting glimpses of natives peering at me furtively over the mud walls which surround their kampongs, but the instant they saw that they were observed they disappeared from view.
The idea appealed irresistibly to everyone but Robert, and even he was brought round by Anthea's suggestion that he should have a double share of any money they might make. There was a little old pony-trap in the coach-house the kind that is called a governess-cart.
