Kit1 turned away and very soon forgot the pony2, and the chaise, and the little old lady, and the little old gentleman, and the little young gentleman to boot, in thinking what could have become of his late master and his lovely grandchild, who were the fountain-head of all his meditations3. Still casting about for some plausible4 means of accounting5 for their non-appearance, and of persuading himself that they must soon return, he bent6 his steps towards home, intending to finish the task which the sudden recollection of his contract had interrupted, and then to sally forth7 once more to seek his fortune for the day.
When he came to the corner of the court in which he lived, lo and behold9 there was the pony again! Yes, there he was, looking more obstinate10 than ever; and alone in the chaise, keeping a steady watch upon his every wink11, sat Mr Abel, who, lifting up his eyes by chance and seeing Kit pass by, nodded to him as though he would have nodded his head off.
Kit wondered to see the pony again, so near his own home too, but it never occurred to him for what purpose the pony might have come there, or where the old lady and the old gentleman had gone, until he lifted the latch12 of the door, and walking in, found them seated in the room in conversation with his mother, at which unexpected sight he pulled off his hat and made his best bow in some confusion.
‘We are here before you, you see, Christopher,’ said Mr Garland smiling.
