Would you like a ride now?
Rhoda is very gentle, if you can sit on my saddle.

Look! I'll shorten the stirrup.

There now; there's a brave little girl! I'll lead her very carefully.

Why, Erminia durst not ride without a side-saddle! I'll tell you what; I'll bring the newspaper every Wednesday till I go to school, and you shall have a ride.

Only I wish we had a side-saddle for Rhoda.
