Do you mean to say that Chula ran away with you?
gpt
She was only playing, Aunt Lucinda. Blue Bonnet carefully guarded the fact of her fall.
human
She felt so good after the long winter at pasture. She didn't mean a bit of harm. I'm sure she didn't.
gpt
Don't you think Chula is a bit wild for Blue Bonnet after being out all winter?
human
Oh, scarcely wild, Miss Clyde. She was a little frisky yesterday from having been in the stable a few days on extra rations. I think the little run we gave her took away some of her surplus energy. I daresay Blue Bonnet will have to prod her to make her move in a day or two.
gpt
Going to stand for that, Blue Bonnet? Knight asked.
human
I can't imagine a Texas girl riding anything that had to be prodded. By the way, Kitty tells me that Sarah has become quite expert in the art of riding: asks at the livery stable for 'a horse with some go in him,' and has tried out the best of them.
gpt
Good for Sarah! Blue Bonnet exclaimed, grateful to Knight for so tactfully diverting the subject.
human
That reminds me of the day she first rode Comanche at the ranch. The girls made such fun of her, but she stayed with him gloriously. That was Sarah's first experience with a horse with 'go' in him.

See you and Carita to-night at Kitty's, I suppose, Alec said as he and Knight were leaving a little later.
human
May we stop and take you over?
gpt
Thank you--yes, Blue Bonnet answered, looking more at Knight than at Alec.
human
I reckon Delia will resign in your favor. She's been my duenna for some time now.
