"What do you say if we waylay them and give her a snow bath to cool her off? I'd just like to sail into that lady." Nat did not reply the major was now in the surrey, and the little horse started off at a lively trot. Numbers of cutters and sleighs passed them every one seemed anxious to make sure of the first sleigh-ride. One particularly handsome rig was just approaching. "Whew!" exclaimed Nat.
"Did you notice a big, dark man, this morning looking up toward your window?" she asked: "Do you know who he is? We saw him the day of the sleigh-ride, and that was weeks ago. I believe he is always right around here, for I don't know how many times I have seen him. He always simply stares toward your windows. I thought perhaps you knew him." Nancy turned pale, and Mrs.
"Oh, this long ulster will be enough for me," I replied, "and as I shall stand up, I could not use a robe, if we had another." In fact, the thought of being with Miss Burroughs and the anticipation of a sleigh-ride alone with her after we had left Uncle Beamish with his sister, had put me into such a glow that I scarcely knew it was cold weather.
"Monday, when I was down in the village, I met a boy that I know, and he told me that over at the boys' private school in the next town they'd heard about our sleigh-rides, and he told me that one of the boys, Bob Chandler, had bought a pair of old cymbals at an antique shop. They were planning their first sleigh-ride for the same day as ours, and they thought we'd have no noise-maker with us.
"Mamsie!" cried Joel, hoarsely, flinging himself into Mother Pepper's arms, as she came to the door to meet him, her face beaming with happiness at the realization that Miss Parrott's sleigh actually was waiting at the door to take her little ones for a sleigh-ride, "Mamsie! Miss Jerusha says I told a lie. Did I, Mammy?" and Joel clutched her and broke into a torrent of tears.
We remained in Yakutsk only four days just long enough to make the necessary preparations for a continuous sleigh-ride of five thousand one hundred and fourteen miles to the nearest railway in European Russia. The Imperial Russian Post, by which we purposed to travel from Yakutsk to Nizhni Novgorod, was, at that time, the longest and best organised horse-express service in the world.
She wondered afterward just what she would have said if Aunt Hannah had not come into the room at that moment and announced that Bertram was at the door to take her for a sleigh-ride if she cared to go. "Of course she'll go," declared Cyril, promptly, answering for her. "It is time I was off anyhow."
Wheeler's old double sleigh from the mass of heterogeneous objects that had for years lain on top of it, and brought the rusty sleighbells up to the house for Mahailey to scour with brick dust. Now that they had automobiles, most of the farmers had let their old sleighs go to pieces. But the Wheelers always kept everything. Claude told his mother he meant to take Enid Royce for a sleigh-ride.
Now, did you ever hear of a young feller’s having such hard luck, Mrs. Burden?” Grandmother told him she was sure the Lord had remembered these things to his credit, and had helped him out of many a scrape when he did n’t realize that he was being protected by Providence. FOR several weeks after my sleigh-ride, we heard nothing from the Shimerdas.
I keep wondering when I'll wake up. And I wish I wish Battles and Shiner were here. I don't believe that Shiner ever had a sleigh-ride in his life Never; not once." "Indeed?" asked the lady, coldly. "No, ma'am. I mean, no, Miss Lucy. And he ain't much more'n a baby, Shiner ain't. Not near as old as I am." "How old are you, my dear?" "I guess I'm going on eight. Molly thinks I am.
