She finds some letters in an old trunk, and takes them out to Tom, a little boy, and the two children play post office with them. Zoe sees a man on horseback, and writes a note asking God to send her a horse like the one she has just seen. She tells Tom to send it by "Speshul Delivery." John Watkins was the rider of the horse. Years before he had left town on account of a quarrel with Muriel, and he has just returned. He stops to speak to an old friend, leaving his horse outside. Tom takes the horse by the bridle and leads it to Zoe, who takes it to her aunt. John comes out and misses it, and Tom tells him that he has taken it to Zoe. He follows her, and on the way picks up the letters which are strewn over the grass. He recognizes them as his own. John enters the house with the letters, and confronts Muriel. Zoe is absorbed in the horse, which she has brought into the sitting room. Reading Muriel's face, John tells the child that he thinks they can arrange to keep the horse. Written by
