You can guess what did! They brought out carrots, and coaxed the donkey back. And then they tied him up. Then they fetched out three ponies (Albert's, Egbert's, and Herbert's - Fattie was too heavy to have a pony). Then they tied all the ponies and the donkey on to the front of the car, after they had hammered and banged the wheels straight, and after that they all got in: Mr. Bliss, Mr, Day, Mrs. Knight, Albert, Herbert, Egbert, and Fattie, and the dogs, who couldn't be trusted not to go off after rabbits.
