"Why if you are kind enough to invite me to go sleigh-riding with you, Mr. Barlow?" "I think so;" said Lovell, grasping his gun, and becoming immediately pale, though composed. "Yes'm, I think so, certainly, I do." "Thank you, I will go with pleasure," I said. "Thank you, Miss Hungerford," said Lovell, rising hurriedly.
A change is always exciting, and winter brings many joyous sports and pastimes, skating, and snowballing, and sliding down hill, and er er I said skating didn't I? and er Oh, yes, sleigh-riding, and er Well, I guess that's about all. Skating, now, that's fine.
"Yes, it is beautiful," replied Charlotte, but rather coldly. She was a friendly little soul, but she did not naturally care for girls of Bessy Van Dorn's particular type. She was herself too fine and small before such a mass of inflorescence. "It's cold," said Bessy Van Dorn, further, "but, land, I like it! Have you been sleigh-riding?" "No, I haven't," replied Charlotte.
It's jest snifty; doubles me up like a jack-knife, Judge. How do you stand it?" "Toler'ble, toler'ble, Amos. But we're agin', we ain't what we were once. Cold takes hold of us." "That's a fact," answered Amos to the retrospective musings of the Judge. "Time was you an' me would go t' singing-school or sleigh-riding with the girls on a night like this and never notice it."
Ah! winter brings many joyous sports and pastimes. And you get back home along about half-past two, and the fire's out, and the folks are in bed, and you have to be at the store to open up at seven Laws! I wish it was so I could go sleigh-riding once more in the long winter evenings, when the pitcher in the spare bedroom bursts, and makes a noise like a cannon. And sliding down hill, I like that.
Euphrasia sat up straighter, if anything. "I didn't say anything of the kind," she returned. "He wouldn't tell me, you know," said Tom; "I can only guess at it." "And the lady?" said Euphrasia, craftily. "I'm up a tree there, too. All I know is that he took her sleigh-riding one afternoon at the capital, and wouldn't tell me who he was going to take.
It would have been too hard if he'd had to miss everything." I believe I'd do the same thing right over again, even knowing all that had to come after. If I were nineteen tonight, I'd rather go sleigh-riding with Charley Wilton than anything else I've ever done."
Marian had no thought of sorrowful things in her heart now. They came home again the other way, past Judge Merle's and the school-house, singing and laughing in a way that made the sober-minded boys and girls of Merleville, to whom sleigh-riding was no novelty, turn round in astonishment as they passed.
"Did you know I went sleigh-riding this afternoon?" "Did you?" "Yes; George took me out." "That was nice," said Maria. "We went to Wayland. The sleighing is lovely." "I thought it looked so," said Maria. "It is. Say, Maria!" "Well?" "He said things to me this afternoon that sounded as if he did mean them. He did, really." "Did he?"
You used to come in very late, but now you come at nine." So the late scholar was not late after all, thanks to Uncle Wiggily, and if the egg beater doesn't go to sleep in the rice pudding, where it can't get out to go sleigh-riding with the potato masher, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and Baa-Baa, the black sheep. "My goodness!
