What could I ride ?" "If I find you a good horse and saddle will you go ?" "I will.

I think it would be fine sport." Laddie turned and went from sight that minute.

The Princess laughed and kept on making friends with every one, helping wait on people, thinking of nice things to do, and just as the carriage was at the gate for father and mother, and Sally and Peter, and every one else was untying their horses to ride in the procession to the village, from where I was standing on the mounting block I saw something coming down the Little Hill.

I took one look, ran to the Princess, and almost dragged her.
Up raced Laddie, his face bright, his eyes snapping with fun.

He rode Flos, was leading the Princess' horse Maud, and carrying a big bundle under his arm.
