Angelica too arrived this day, on horseback, with a groom behind her. She wore her dark green riding-habit, which fitted her figure to perfection, and her silk hat shone with an exceptional lustre. She was in good spirits, and caracoled her horse in a pe culiar way as she came up to the block. " Where did you get that trick ? " asked Kingbolt, affecting with her an ease he by no means felt. " From Monsieur Meigs, my riding-master at CROSS PURPOSES AT A NEWPORT VILLA. 201 Paris, " she explained,... but more to the company than her questioner. " Twenty francs a lesson, and twenty more for the two horses. I used to ride with him in the Bois. No nonsense with M. Meigs, no staring about, no frivolity. ' Eyes between your horse's ears, mademoiselle ! ' Yes, M'seu Meigs, M'seu Meigs. " She straightened herself up and as sumed a very stiff position in the saddle, in imitation of the bluff and centaur- like aspect of her former English riding-master. When she had dismounted she sat and talked a while, rattling her whip on the floor of the piazza.
