Do you know Tom, our man--Ashford's man?
gpt
Who? Tom Tranter? Yes, I knows him.
human
Well, you'll meet him on the road between here and Markridge, walking, or perhaps running. Tell him we've had a spill and he'd better see after the trap, will you? We'll go on.
gpt
What about the horse, though?
human
I suppose we shall have to take the beast along with us. We can't leave her here.
gpt
I think we'd better stop till Tom comes, and all go on together,
human
I suppose you funk it with Ashford, said Dick whose temper was somewhat ruffled by misfortune.
gpt
I don't. If you two like to stop you can. I'll go on with the mare.
human
Oh, no, we'll all come, said Heathcote.
gpt
I'm not afraid, no more is Coote.
human
All serene then, come on. Mind you tell Tom, I say, added he to the carter.
gpt
Good-bye, and thanks awfully.
