"Should you like to have a ride?" said Rawdon minor from the saddle.
"Yes," said Georgy. The Colonel, who had been looking at him with some interest, took up the child and put him on the pony behind Rawdon minor.
"Take hold of him, Georgy," he said--"take my little boy round the waist--his name is Rawdon." And both the children began to laugh.
"You won't see a prettier pair I think, THIS summer's day, sir," said the good-natured Corporal; and the Colonel, the Corporal, and old Mr. Sedley with his umbrella, walked by the side of the children.
"Would you like to have a ride?" said Rawdon minor.
"Yes," said Georgy. The Colonel took up the child and put him on the pony behind Rawdon.
"Take hold of him round the waist, Georgy," he said. And both the children began to laugh.
"You won't see a prettier pair, sir," said the Corporal; and the three men walked alongside the children.
