The
blacksmith
lived
at
some
distance
,
deeper
into
London
.
As
they
crossed
the
angle
of
a
square
,
Diamond
,
who
was
now
quite
comfortable
on
his
living
throne
,
was
glancing
this
way
and
that
in
a
gentle
pride
,
when
he
saw
a
girl
sweeping
a
crossing
scuddingly
before
a
lady
.
The
lady
was
his
father
’
s
mistress
,
Mrs
.
Coleman
,
and
the
little
girl
was
she
for
whose
sake
he
had
got
off
North
Wind
’
s
back
.
He
drew
Diamond
’
s
bridle
in
eager
anxiety
to
see
whether
her
outstretched
hand
would
gather
a
penny
from
Mrs
.
Coleman
.
But
she
had
given
one
at
the
last
crossing
,
and
the
hand
returned
only
to
grasp
its
broom
.
Diamond
could
not
bear
it
.
He
had
a
penny
in
his
pocket
,
a
gift
of
the
same
lady
the
day
before
,
and
he
tumbled
off
his
horse
to
give
it
to
the
girl
.
He
tumbled
off
,
I
say
,
for
he
did
tumble
when
he
reached
the
ground
.
But
he
got
up
in
an
instant
,
and
ran
,
searching
his
pocket
as
he
ran
.
She
made
him
a
pretty
courtesy
when
he
offered
his
treasure
,
but
with
a
bewildered
stare
.
She
thought
first
:
“
Then
he
was
on
the
back
of
the
North
Wind
after
all
!
”
but
,
looking
up
at
the
sound
of
the
horse
’
s
feet
on
the
paved
crossing
,
she
changed
her
idea
,
saying
to
herself
,
“
North
Wind
is
his
father
’
s
horse
!
That
’
s
the
secret
of
it
!
Why
couldn
’
t
he
say
so
?
”
And
she
had
a
mind
to
refuse
the
penny
.
But
his
smile
put
it
all
right
,
and
she
not
only
took
his
penny
but
put
it
in
her
mouth
with
a
“
Thank
you
,
mister
.
Did
they
wollop
you
then
?
”
“
Oh
no
!
”
answered
Diamond
.
“
They
never
wollops
me
.
”
“
Lor
!
”
said
the
little
girl
,
and
was
speechless
.
Meantime
his
father
,
looking
up
,
and
seeing
the
horse
’
s
back
bare
,
suffered
a
pang
of
awful
dread
,
but
the
next
moment
catching
sight
of
him
,
took
him
up
and
put
him
on
,
saying
—
“
Don
’
t
get
off
again
,
Diamond
.
The
horse
might
have
put
his
foot
on
you
.
”
“
No
,
father
,
”
answered
the
boy
,
and
rode
on
in
majestic
safety
.
The
summer
drew
near
,
warm
and
splendid
.
Miss
Coleman
was
a
little
better
in
health
,
and
sat
a
good
deal
in
the
garden
.
One
day
she
saw
Diamond
peeping
through
the
shrubbery
,
and
called
him
.
He
talked
to
her
so
frankly
that
she
often
sent
for
him
after
that
,
and
by
degrees
it
came
about
that
he
had
leave
to
run
in
the
garden
as
he
pleased
.
He
never
touched
any
of
the
flowers
or
blossoms
,
for
he
was
not
like
some
boys
who
cannot
enjoy
a
thing
without
pulling
it
to
pieces
,
and
so
preventing
every
one
from
enjoying
it
after
them
.
A
week
even
makes
such
a
long
time
in
a
child
’
s
life
,
that
Diamond
had
begun
once
more
to
feel
as
if
North
Wind
were
a
dream
of
some
far
-
off
year
.
