When we came out of the garden , his chariot was ready ; and he said , Well , sister , I had most assuredly gone away towards my other house , if things had not taken this happy turn ; and , if you please , instead of it , you and I will take an airing : And pray , my dear , said he to me , bid Mrs. Jewkes order supper by eight o'clock , and we shall then join you . Sir , added he , to her nephew , will you take your horse and escort us ? I will , said he : and am glad , at my soul , to see you all so good friends . So my dear lord and master handed my lady into his chariot , and her kinsman and his servants rode after them and I went up to my closet to ruminate on these things .
