Midnight
There was nothing which thrilled and stimulated her so much as riding on Midnight through the great wilderness . Her lithe , supple body swayed in a rhythmical motion as the horse sped on his way . Riding was one of the few attractions which made the northland tolerable , and she wondered what she would do outside to replace it . `` I shall take you with me , old boy , '' she confided , as she affectionately patted Midnight 's neck . `` It would not do to leave you behind . My , what a great time we shall have upon the level roads ! '' Then she fell to thinking about the joy of visiting different lands , and seeing strange sights .
