Excerpt from The Bodleys Afoot Oh, there 's N ep, said Nathan. Papa, do let me get out, and as the horses were checked, Nathan scrambled out of the carryall, and rushed after the dog. Nep set up a great barking and wagging of his tail. He had plainly come down the avenue into the road to watch for the family. Nathan did not get into the carryall again, but chased up the field by the side'of the avenue. There was a row of cherry-trees in the field the cherries had not been quite ripe when the children had set out on their journey; but a week had done wonders, and now the cherries gleamed red and dark among the leaves, waiting, to be eaten. The carryall drove along the avenue, and presently the barn came in sight. A man stood in the open doorway, watching them.
