Duffy was certain that the girl had passed him in the fir-plantation, not walking, but RUNNING, in the direction of the sea-shore. "Does this boy know the coast hereabouts?" asked Sergeant Cuff. "He has been born and bred on the coast," I answered. "Duffy!" says the Sergeant, "do you want to earn a shilling? If you do, come along with me. Keep the pony-chaise ready, Mr.
At least he had not forgotten me; he thought of me, and he mourned the loss of me every day of his life. That was encouragement enough for the present. "If Ariel calls for me in the pony-chaise to-morrow," I thought to myself, "with Ariel I go." Mrs. Macallan set me down at Benjamin's door.
She went with Preston, he on horseback, she in her pony-chaise, and a very long afternoon's work they made of it. And they did not get through the work, either. But by dint of hearing the thing talked over, and seeing the great interest excited among the young folks, Daisy's mind grew pretty full of the pictures before the day was ended.
There will always be a bit of dinner for my friends when they come to see me; and I shall keep a pony-chaise to jog about the country in, just as I used to in the good old days, before I got restless, and wanted to DO things. 'Stroll quietly down to Toad Hall? cried the Rat, greatly excited. 'What are you talking about? Do you mean to say you haven't HEARD?
In plain English, I want to tell Miss Verinder, without a word of warning, of Rosanna's death on the chance that her own better feelings will hurry her into making a clean breast of it.

The sun was sending long slant bright beams against the cottage windows and over the pony-chaise, and the groom had got the pony's head turned for home, evidently under the impression that Daisy was staying a long time. A little fearful of consequences if she got home after sundown, Daisy gathered up her reins and signified to Loupe that he was expected to move with some spirit.
In the pause that followed, the figure at the pool moved, and walked slowly away round the margin of the shore. Allan stepped out beyond the last of the trees, and gained a wider view of the open ground. The first object that met his eyes was the pony-chaise from Thorpe Ambrose. He turned back to Midwinter with a laugh of relief. "What nonsense have you been talking!" he said.
Inchbare showed in not Lady Lundie, but Lady Lundie's maid. The woman's account of what had happened at Windygates was simple enough. Lady Lundie had, as a matter of course, placed the right interpretation on Blanche's abrupt departure in the pony-chaise, and had ordered the carriage, with the firm determination of following her step-daughter herself.
Thither she drove at the appointed hour in a little pony-chaise, presented her by her father on her birthday for her especial use in her new house; which vehicle she sent back on arriving at the inn, the plan agreed upon being that she should perform the return journey with her husband in his hired coach.
You know or you would know if you were not a Puritan, little Daisy, that I cannot do the business alone. You are Miss Randolph." "Did the Puritans not know much?" inquired Daisy. "Nothing about the ways of the world." Daisy looked at the pony-chaise, at the blue hills, at her basket of pears; and yielding to what seemed necessity, gave up Molly for that day.
