"How do you mean? I'm a stranger in England, you know."

  

"Yes, ma'm. If they make polite visits, they go about tea time, ma'm. But if it's parish visits, or on business, or on people they know very well, they may go in the morning, ma'm."

  

"And when is tea time here?"

  

"Why, ma'm, everybody has their tea in the afternoon along four or thereabouts, and sees their friends."

  

"Can I get a carriage here, do you know?"

  

"I can get a pony carriage, ma'm. We hires it when we need it, only we must speak for it early, or it may be taken."

  

"Oh! Then will you please speak for it soon? I would like to have it."

  

"Yes, ma'm. Will you drive yourself, ma'm, or shall I ask for a boy?"

  

"Oh! I don't know. I can drive—but—"

  

"They are gentle ponies, ma'm. Any one can drive them."

  

"Yes, but I don't know the way."
