“Do you go to school?”
“No.”
Meanwhile the horse was traveling very slowly, and it seemed to Ernest that he would go over the road quite as fast if he had continued to walk. He began to think it was his turn to ask questions.
“Are you going all the way to Lee’s Falls?” he asked.
“I may go nearly there.”
“I am very much obliged to you for giving me a lift. I was quite tired.”
The driver smiled.
“Perhaps I have an object,” he said.
Ernest looked an inquiry.
“The pleasure of your company,” explained his companion with a smile.
