Liza was a little afraid at first, so Tom walked by her side to take care of her, she screamed the moment the beast began to trot, and clutched hold of Tom to save herself from falling, and as he felt her hand on his shoulder, and heard her appealing cry: 'Oh, do 'old me!

'I know wot I'll do,' she said, when the runaway had been recovered. 'I'll ride 'im straddlewyse.' 'Garn!' said Sally, 'yer can't with petticoats.' 'Yus, I can, an' I will too!' So another donkey was procured, this time with a man's saddle, and putting her foot in the stirrup, she cocked her leg over and took her seat triumphantly.
