loo OCCASIONAL HAPPY THOUGHTS. 



people on getting away from an amateur pianofortist, who 

 has been giving his services for a charitable object. 



Doddridge returns. " O, Sir, why it's another horse come 

 to the gate." 



Some one has brought a horse to show me. 



PuUinger says, " That's lucky, as we can all have a look at 

 him." 



It gives them an excuse for getting out of the house 

 quietly. I feel that they'll never pay me another visit. 



The horse is in the lane, so Doddridge says. 



Some loafing, do-nothing labourers, and some very dirty 

 children, are in the lane too. Lounging, laughing coarsely, 

 and staring rudely. What a scene for visitors ! 



There's quite a crowd to see the new horse. 



I look up the lane for the animal, but only see my Aunt in 

 the distance. She is arriving, and I now see her digging the 

 Coachman in the ribs with her parasol, and urging him to 

 increase his speed, under the impression that this unwonted 

 crowd signifies a fire or some dreadful accident to me. 

 Commotion !
