every point where il was desirable TO
draw rein in order TO enjoy the lovely

no doubt, knew all these halting
places as well as his master, once
turned aside from the path, in a very
business like fashion, and planted
himself before a gate from which a
specially pleasing outlook was TO be
seen. My wife, thinking 10 please the
man, said: How we'll your donkey
