Creighton accepted the offer very readily. "I have not been in any carriage so rustic and farmer-like these twenty years," she said. "I shall be happy to drive you, if you can be satisfied with a sober old whip like myself, and a sober old pony like Timo." "It is settled then; you ride I suppose, Miss Wyllys."
