Hannah, my Lady Lillycraft's gentlewoman; to my surprise, she was escorted by old Christy, the huntsman, and followed by his ghost of a grayhound; but I find they are very old acquaintances, being drawn together by some sympathy of disposition.

You take the three cars in our barn. The Packard reminds one of that stallion we owned three years ago blooded and off like the wind. The Franklin is a grayhound and Little Sister is a duck " "Mr. Dalton's car is a silver ship " "Oh, does he call it that?" grimly. "So " "Was it your own poetic idea?" "Yes."
