the books were too heavy for the pony
to drag. The two meA therefore got
out and walked for some distance in
front Of the trap. until they discovered
that the books had dropped out. The
owner Of the pony asked Tennyson to
stand at the animals head while he
went back for the books. These he
found a hundred yards or more down
the hill, and on his return he found the
pony had been resnve. but had quickly
become quiet Knowing that 1t dislik

Tennyson had kept It quiet What
was his surprise to learn that the poet
had managed the affair by holding a
