So everything was settled , and I went to the stable the day before , and told Peter I wanted him to get up very early the next morning , and put old Ripstaver in the buggy , and drive him over to Dr. Hendricks 's .

I said one of the doctor 's family had to get to the village very early because there were some things to be done before the train came , and it had been agreed we should lend our buggy . Peter was not quite pleased with the arrangement , and asked why we did not send the old mare -- we only kept two horses ; but I said she was too slow , and it had been specially arranged that the buggy , with Ripstaver , should be sent . Peter was a great friend of mine , so he agreed to do what I asked , and said he did not mind walking back . '
