IN THE HIDING-SCHOOL. G3 



if you were an ignorant girl ? So you are, dear, 

 and even if you were not, if you knew all that 

 there is in all the books, you might still be a 

 bad horsewoman, because you might not know 

 enough to use your knowledge. You don't 

 care, and you feel very well, and are very glad 

 that you went ? Of course, that is the invaria- 

 ble cry ! And you mean to take some more 

 lessons if you find that you really need them ? 

 Then leave your skirt in the dressing-room 

 locker ! You will come back from your ride a 

 wiser, but not a sadder, girl. One cannot be 

 sad on horseback.
