and　kissing　and　being　mellow；　Georgie　was　acting　all　hyperactive　and　making　Natedrive　the

carriage。

The　attic　itself　was　incredible。　It　was　full　of　beautiful　old　things　from　days　gone　by；　but　kept　in

perfect　order　as　if　at　any　time　someone　was　going　to　carry　them　downstairs　and　put　them　to　use

again。　The　carriage　was　painted　gold　and　lined　with　purple　velvet；　and　under　the　seat　inside；　in　a

little　leather　chest；　were　fur　rugs　and　muffs　to　keep　your　hands　warm　while　you　went　out　for　a　ride。

show　you。？

Reluctantly　Nate　left　the　joint　where　it　had　fallen　and　followed　her　to　the　other　side　of　the　attic；

kept；？　Georgie　explained。　She　opened　the　top　trunk　and　pulled　out　a　handful　of　ribbons　she？d　won

at　horse　shows。　？I　was　a　really　good　rider。？　She　offered　the　ribbons　to　Nate。
