'Nothing, was the consoling reply; and as the sleigh just then drew up before his door, Frank alighted from it, and said to himself as he ran up the steps: 'I believe I have been riding with the devil, and have made a league with him!
Now the sleigh of a picture-book, however well one knows it, is altogether different from the thing in real life, a means of conveyance at a journey's end; but it is well not to be over-curious in the matter, for the same American who has been telling you at length how he once followed a kilted Scots soldier from Chelsea to the Tower, out of pure wonder and curiosity at his bare knees and sporran, will laugh at your interest in 'just a cutter.
"I was afraid I had lost you. We nearly had a bad accident," he went on, speaking to himself, but loudly enough for the Nodding Donkey to hear.

He was returning in a sleigh one evening to the village where he was to remain for the night, the peasant owning the sleigh sitting behind, and a boy driving. As they passed the corner of a wood, a wolf was seen to rush out of it and give chase.
The road was drifted with snow and it was all even a very willing horse could do, to pull a sleigh through them. It was Bobby's sharp eyes that first spied something square and dark ahead. "There's a car!" he cried. "And I'll bet it's stuck!" The horse pricked up his ears and stared steadily, while Sam gave a low whistle. "Must have been there all night," he said.
Nicolas jumped down and in a few long strides overtook his own sleigh, where the little Circassian received him with a smile from under the fur hood; and the Circassian was Sonia, and Sonia beyond a doubt would be his beloved little wife! When they got home the two girls went into the countess's room and gave her an account of their expedition; then they went to bed.
