The next morning we were up at 5 a.m., and drove in a tonga, a sort of tea-cart, with small tattoo ponies, to Elphinstone Point, and to see the temples. It was a most enjoyable excursion; but it was quite spoiled for me by the brutal way in which the driver beat the poor little "tats" with his thick cowhide whip. It was misery to me.
"Won't you have some tea?" she asked, desperately. "I'll have Julia bring it in." "I'd rather talk." But she had it brought, and Julia, wheeling in the tea-cart, offered a moment's reprieve.
And Ralph ate the Lady-bread-and-butter, and the little pound cakes with the nuts and white frosting which had been meant for Derry, and then he walked around the tea-cart and took her hand, and for the seventh time since he had met her he asked her to marry him. "But I don't love you." She was almost in tears. "You don't know what love is I'll teach you." "I don't want to be taught."
