At this hour, at Melbourne, my task would have been to get my flat hat and rush out among the beds of flowers; and a little later, to have up Loupe and go driving whither I would, among the meadows and cornfields. Ah, yes; and there was Molly who might be taught, and Juanita who might be visited; and Dr. Sandford who might come like a pleasant gale of wind into the midst of whatever I was about.
"I am not thinking about Loupe. Oh, Ransom! stop him; there's Nora Dinwiddie; I want to get out." The place at which they were arrived had a little less the air of carefully kept grounds, and more the look of a sweet wild wood; for the trees clustered thicker in patches, and grey rock, in large and in small quantities, was plenty about among the trees.
He was larger than Loupe, and had not Loupe's peculiar symmetry of mane and tail; he was a fat dumpy little fellow, sleek and short, dapple grey, with a good long tail and a mild eye. Preston declared he had no shape at all and was a poor concern of a pony; but to my eyes he was beautiful. He took one or two sugarplums from my hand with as much amenity as if we had been old acquaintances.
"No, sir." "I will send Loupe. By the way Daisy, have you business on hand?" "Yes, sir." "So much that you can do none for me?" "Oh, no, sir. I have not a great deal of business. What may I do, Dr. Sandford?" "Can you go to Crum Elbow?" "Yes, sir. I have got to go there." "All right, then.
Randolph, "you may do as you like, but I think it is a very unsafe proceeding. What's Sam? he's a boy." "Safe enough," said Mr. Randolph. "I can trust all three of the party; Daisy, Loupe, and Sam. They all know their business, and they will all do it." "Well! I think it is very unsafe," repeated Mrs. Randolph.
It was pleasanter there, Daisy thought, than she had ever seen it. The fields looked more gay in that clear early light, and the dust was kept down by the freshness in the air. It was delightful; and Loupe never went better. Daisy was a very good little driver, and now the pony seemed to understand the feeling in her fingers and waddled along at a goodly rate.
"Never mind keep it, and when you don't want it, give it to some poor person that does. And remember, little one, that the good Lord expects his servants to tell him their troubles and to pray to him every day." "Thank you, sir!" was Daisy's deep ejaculation. "Don't thank me. Now will your pony get you home before dark?" "O yes, Mr. Dinwiddie! Loupe is lazy, but he can go, and I will make him."
He was larger than Loupe, and had not Loupe's peculiar symmetry of mane and tail: he was a fat dumpy little fellow, sleek and short, dapple grey, with a good long tail and a mild eye. Preston declared he had no shape at all and was a poor concern of a pony; but to my eyes he was beautiful. He took one or two sugarplums from my hand with as much amenity as if we had been old acquaintances.
"Oh, I can go anywhere, Preston! with Loupe, you know. You're going to ride, aren't you?" "Yes, but Loupe! What shall we do with Loupe? You see, I shall be gone the whole day, Daisy it's likely. You'd get tired." "Why, we could find somewhere to put Loupe Sam could take care of him. And I should like to go, Preston, if you think I would not frighten the fish."
They were not very many, and unconsciously the eager spirit in Daisy's fingers made itself known to Loupe's understanding, through the medium of the reins. He travelled better than usual, so that they were not more than half way from Melbourne when the doctor's gig overtook them. And then Loupe went better yet. "Remember, Daisy, and keep quiet " said the doctor as he took her out of the chaise.
