But if ye don't puddle the roots, the bush must be well watered and soaked when ye have dune." "Very well, Logan--thank you.

Now please put it in a basket for me, with a trowel, and let me take a watering pot of water too; or Lewis can carry that, can't he ?" "He can take whatever ye have a mind," said Logan; "but where is it going ?" "I'll take the basket with the rose," said Daisy--"it's going a little way--you can set it just here, in my chaise, Logan." The gardener deposited the basket safely in the chaise, and Daisy got in and shook the reins.

Lewis, much wondering and a little disgustful, was accommodated with a watering pot full of water, by the grinning Logan.
"See ye ride steady now, boy," he said.

"Ye won't want to shew any graces of horsemanship, the day!" Whatever Lewis might have wanted, the necessity upon him was pretty stringent.

A watering pot full of water he found a very uncomfortable bundle to carry on horseback; he was bound to ride at the gentlest of paces, or inflict an involuntary cold bath upon himself every other step.
