 space at the side of the trunk. Two 

 small chairs were put in front for us to 

 sit on. But there was not room enough 

 for us to sit side by side; so one was bol- 

 stered against the driver and the other 

 against the trunk with her feet beneath 

 the other's chair. We presented such 

 a ludicrous spectacle that we longed for 

 some one with a camera to take our 

 picture to send the friends at home. 

 We laughed until we ached, with the 

 tears streaming down our cheeks, and 

 held on with both hands to keep from 

 being jolted out. As the mule and 

 donkey trotted and cantered up hill and 

 down, our cart rattled and joggled so 

 that we could scarcely hear each other's 

 voices. No wonder that when we 

 arrived at Mrs. Duffy's after being 

 14 drawn in a cart" three hours we were 

 charmed with our new home.
