He climbed into the cart, Bella helping him up by a prodigious lift which she gave him, seizing him by the shoulder as he came up.

Malleville was afraid to get into the cart at all, but preferred walking along the field and playing among the winrows.
Phonny drove along from place to place as Thomas directed him, until at length the cart was so full that it was no longer safe for the children to remain upon the top.

They then slid down the hay to the ground, Thomas receiving them so as to prevent any violent fall.
Thomas then forked up as much more hay as he could make stay upon the top of his load, and when this was done, he set out to go to the barn.
The children accompanied him, walking behind the cart.
When the party reached the barn, the children went inside to a place which Phonny called the bay.

Thomas drove his cart up near the side of the barn without, and began to pitch the hay in through a great square window, quite high up.

The window opened into the bay, so that the hay, when Thomas pitched it in, fell down into the place where the children were standing.
