"I was only joking; I shouldn't think of letting you go back after it.

One of the servants can get it." I shortly after ran across Mose and sent him back for the coat, and the incident was forgotten.

We straggled back to the hotel in twos and threes; the horses were brought out, and we got off amidst general confusion.
I rode beside the carriage for a couple of miles exchanging courtesies with Mrs.Mathers, and then galloped ahead to join the other riders.

I was surprised to see neither my uncle nor Radnor anywhere in sight, and inquired as to their whereabouts.
"I thought they were riding with you," said Polly, wheeling to my side.
"You don't suppose," she asked quickly, "that the Colonel was foolish enough to go back for my coat, and we've left him behind ?" One of the men laughed.
"He has a horse, Miss Polly, and he knows how to use it.

I dare say, even if we did leave him behind, that he can find his way home." "I sent Mose back for the coat," I remarked.
