"Yes. In my carriage. We'll go out of town."
"O yes! O thank you! I should like it very much."
"You don't look very strong," said Elizabeth. "How is it that you can take such long walks?"
"O Winthrop don't let me get tired you know."
"But how does he manage to help it?" said Elizabeth smiling.
"Can he do everything?"
"I don't know," said Winnie. "He don't let me stand too long, and he doesn't let me walk too fast; and his arm is strong, you know; —he can almost hold me up if I do get tired."
"I have — or my father has," — said Elizabeth, "some very old, very good wine. — I shall send you some. Will you try it? I think it would make you stronger."
"I don't know whether Winthrop would let me drink it."
"Why not?"
"O he don't like me to drink anything but water and milk — he don't let me have tea or coffee — and I don't know whether he'd like wine; — but I'll ask him."
