It was not Devine in his spring-cart; it was some one on horseback, was a lady, in a holland habit. The horse, a piebald, advanced at a sober pace, and "Why, good gracious! I believe she's coming here." At the first of the three houses the rider had dismounted, and knocked at the door with the butt of her whip.
Maybold's to- morrow, instead o' me, and I'll go wi' Smiler and the wagon." It was a relief; for Mrs. The best spring-cart was washed throughout, the axles oiled, and the bees placed therein for the journey.
"Well, then, see if you can't learn to make tea; and, by-the-bye, Ethel, which is the next christening Sunday?" "The one after next, surely. The first of December is Monday yes, to-morrow week is the next." "Then I have thought of something; it would cost eighteenpence to hire Joliffe's spring-cart, and we might have Mrs. Taylor and the twins brought to church in it.
"Ah," she would say, "it's all very fine having a ready-made rich man, but mayhappen he'll be a ready-made fool; and it's no use filling your pocket full o' money if you've got a hole in the corner. It'll do you no good to sit in a spring-cart o' your own, if you've got a soft to drive you: he'll soon turn you over into the ditch.
But there, I'm wasting time; for to be sure you've most of ye got kith and kin in the place where we'm going, and 'll be wanting to send 'em a word by us."

He and his wife went over in their spring-cart to Garchester, and left the place locked up, he said. The coroner asked whether it was his custom to lock up his place when he went out; he replied that it was, when they went out together; but that event rarely happened. Upon his return at dusk, he found the little skiff loose in the stream, and secured it.
You can see the Wrekin from the parlour window, and the moon over it; and it's not so far away but what we could get a spring-cart sometimes, and drive over to your old home under the Wrekin. As soon as ever the colonel's lady told Susan where it was, she cried out, 'That's the very place for father! You'd like to come and live with your own Susan again, in your own country; wouldn't you now?"
But if they were logical and consistent determinists, they would do and feel no such thing; for the praise we give to a well-poised spring-cart is one thing, and the praise we give to a well-poised character is another.
