Now that I think of it, she was always making up some nice dish; tell her I remember it, will you ?" When Cousin Charles put us into the carriage, and hoisted little Edward on the front seat, mother noticed that two men held the horses, and that they were not the same he had driven the night before.

She said she was afraid to go, they looked ungovernable; but he reassured her, and one of the men averring that Mr.Morgeson could drive anything, she repressed her fears, and we drove out of the yard behind a pair of horses that stood on their hind legs as often as that position was compatible with the necessity they were under of getting on, for they evidently understood that they were guided by a firm hand.

Edward was delighted with their behavior, and for the first time I saw his father smile on him.
"These are fine brutes," he said, not taking his eyes from them; "but they are not equal to my mare, Nell.

Alice is afraid of her; but I hope that you, Cassandra, will ride with me sometimes when I drive her." "Oh!" exclaimed mother, grasping my arm.
"You would, would you ?" he said, taking out the whip, as the horses recoiled from a man who lay by the roadside, leaping so high that the harness seemed rattling from their backs.

He struck them, and said, "Go on now, go on, devils." There was no further trouble.
