`` We intended motoring , but we can do that another day . '' Mr. Cardew looked dubious for a moment . Then he said , `` All right , only you must not be out too late . I 'll send the pony-trap down to the rectory for you at half-past eight o'clock . '' `` Oh , but , father , '' said Merry , `` we can walk home . '' `` No dear ; I will send the little carriage . Now , go and enjoy yourself , my child . ''
