His plight made him so desperate that he suddenly left the orchard where he was gathering apples, went to the house, put on his riding-suit, and in a few moments was galloping furiously away on his black horse. With a renewal of hope Webb watched his proceedings, and with many surmises, Amy, from a distant hillside, saw him passing at a break-neck pace.
Here, having alighted from the waggon, I had an opportunity of viewing the passengers in order as they entered. The first who appeared was a brisk, airy girl, about twenty years old, with a silver-laced hat on her head instead of a cap, a blue stuff riding-suit, trimmed with silver very much tarnished, and a whip in her hand.
And then she melted. "Oh, my pretty riding-suit! What a mess! I must be a sight.... Nell, I rode that wild pony the sun-of-a-gun! I rode him! That's enough for me. YOU try it. Laugh all you want. It was funny. But if you want to square yourself with me, help me clean my clothes." Late in the night Helen heard Dale sternly calling Pedro. She felt some little alarm.
But no sooner was my box packed than the Tuttle person informed me that I could take no box whatever. It appeared that all luggage would be strapped to the backs of animals and thus transported. Even so, when I had reduced myself to one park riding-suit and a small bundle of necessary adjuncts, I was told that the golf-sticks must be left behind. It appeared there would be no golf.
This youth will not be controlled, I fear, by either of us; but we must look the closer after his safety. You keep your watch over that prying fellow the steward?" "Trust him to my care on that side have no fear. But ah, sir! I would we had the young Scot in his old clothes again, for the riding-suit of yours which he now wears hath set him off in other-guess fashion."
"A grey riding-suit, passmented with silver, russet walking-boots, a cut band, a grey hat and plume, black hair." "It is he, it is he!" said Cromwell; "and another crowning mercy is vouchsafed!" Meantime, Pearson and young Lee exchanged defiance from their respective posts. "Surrender," said the former, "or we blow you up in your fastness."
There is also my sad-coloured riding-suit, and three cut-work shirts with falling bands I pray you, pardon me I must needs see how matters stand with them without farther dallying." Thus speaking, he left the room; and the Sub-Prior, looking after him significantly, added, "Where the treasure is will the heart be also."
It could not, however, be imputed to the mere alteration of dress, although that, no doubt, had its effect. It was merely a riding-suit of grey cloth, with some silver lace, in the fashion of a country gentleman of the time.
"I bought the suit in Paris three years ago, and I swore I would cast them back upon the snip's hands if he gave me any new-fangled finery. But a riding-suit that has crossed the Pyrenees and stood a winter's wear at Montpelier where I have been living since October can scarce do credit to a fine lady's saloon; and thou art finest, I'll wager, Hyacinth, where all are fine."
They joked the waiter-girls, and joshed one another in noisy good-fellowship, ignoring the slim youth in English riding-suit, who came in with an air of mingled melancholy and timidity and took a seat at the lower corner of the long table. The landlady, tall, thin, worried, and inquisitive, was New England Norcross recognized her type even before she came to him with a question on her lips.
