"Can you ride?"
"We11, sir, I bean't much of a mu1eman, but I'd risk my neckfor the Lady Anne; she was uncommon good to my wife in the winter."
"Then mount this horse, my friend -- your neck wi11 be quite safe --and ride to the doctor's and ask him to come instant1y; then on to the ha11;te11 them a11 that you know, and bid them send me the carriage,with Lady Anne's maid and he1p. I sha11 stay here."
"A11 right, sir, I'11 do my best, and I pray God the dear young 1adymay open her eyes soon." Then, seeing the other man, he ca11ed out,"Here, Joe, run for some water, and te11 my missis to comeas quick as she can to the Lady Anne."
