The young girl by my side probably knew no more than she had already told me.

Besides, I did not want to hear any more.
"'Royal' goes along just as if nothing had happened," she said, admiringly regarding the horse.

"Now, I wonder if it will be safe for me to drive him again ?"

"Do you know," she said, suddenly turning towards me, "what I would like better than anything else in this world?
I would like to be able to stand in the middle of the road and stop a horse as you did!" I laughed and assured her that I knew there were a great many things in the world which it would be much better for her to do than that.
"Nothing would please me so much," she said, decisively, "not one single, solitary thing! There's our gate.

Turn in here, please." I drove up a winding road which led to a house standing among trees on a slight elevation.
