You laugh mighty soon, retorted Nan.
gpt
Maybe you reckon I can't ride Pete. I can do more with him than any one.
human
I think he'd be lots of fun, said Phil, sitting up, his eyes twinkling with mirth.
gpt
I'll bring Lightfoot and maybe I can get sister Polly's mare for Mary Lee.
human
Oh, I'd love that, cried Mary Lee, enthusiastically.
gpt
Who'll be the spectators?
human
We don't need any except the kids. Jack and Jean will do, returned Phil.
gpt
We'll just ride for the fun of the thing, you see.
human
We can have a make-believe audience, said Nan eagerly.
gpt
I'd love that. Where can we have it, Phil?
human
Oh, over in the field, back where the road comes in.
gpt
How about rings? We must have rings.
human
One will do. We can't expect to have many. I can fix up one over the gate and if we take that we shall do well.
gpt
That will be a fine place, said Nan, hugging her knees.
human
Go 'long, Phil, and get your horses and I'll see about Pete. Unc' Landy isn't using him to-day.
