much it cost — it was very expensive, you may
be sure. Well, perhaps you had better ride with
us back to town again, although you are so dirty,
you are scarcely fit for the carriage."
Johnny Blossom looked up wistfully but
dubiously. Probably he was too dirty.
"Oh, well! you may get in," said Miss
Melling, not ungraciously.
Seldom, indeed, did he have the honor of
riding in the Kingthorpe carriage, because
Carlstrom and Miss Melling were both so fussy,
and poor Uncle Isaac never went to drive. As
they rode along Miss Melling showed Johnny
how to put the rod together. My, oh, my! How
amazingly long it was! Johnny stood it up like
a flagstaff and his face was radiant.
"Has Uncle Isaac trouble with his heart?"
asked Johnny, thinking he would tell about the
kerosene cure.
"Rich people have trouble everywhere," said
Miss Melling curtly. "Sit still or you’ll fall out
of the carriage."
Johnny Blossom sat as still as a stone for
about two minutes; but then they drove past
a great linden tree and he absolutely had to
stand up to see how near the top of the tree he
could reach with his fishpole.
