But he did not know of any vehicle he could get to carry her, except his grandfather's pony-cart, and that was four miles away! "All right!" said Barbara.

We can bring sis and you back, Mrs. Drelmer, when those people we don't know get off again. There's Mauburn; I'll tell him." "I'll have my dunnage down directly," said Mauburn. Up the street driving a pony-cart came Avice Milbrey.
John Crewys stood on the walk below the terrace, with Peter by his side, enjoying an after-breakfast smoke, and watching a party of sportsmen climbing up the bracken-clothed slopes of the opposite hillside. A dozen beaters were toiling after the guns, among whom the short and sturdy figure of Colonel Hewel was very plainly to be distinguished. A boy was leading a pony-cart for the game.

And Marcella made no further protest, although as the pony-cart drove on, she remained weeping before the door.

On fine days the stable boy went with them and brought it back. I used very often to go to meet them in the afternoons across the moor.
The day after, well wrapt from the cold, he took his place in a slow train, and at the station was heartily welcomed by his grandfather, who had come with his pony-cart to take him home.
