Lorn nodded and handed the rein to Karen's slender hands.  Then moved toward the road that made up their drive to the main road.  The main house was between the stables and the main road, so they could go a long way as they were walking before they got to the main road if they should wish. 

"Just click your tongue with a light sound as you give her a slight pull on the reins or say 'come along' or whatever you would like to let her know to walk with you."  He explained.  "Duke and I have been together so long that he knows my body language and sounds that I think he reads my mind now."  He chuckled as he watched Karen's manner with Dora.

He would walk along at her pace not far from her side as she started walking with Dora.  He adjusted his hat to avoid his eyes from looking at her so much.  It was a lovely day and the property was starting to change into spring.  It was a bit chilly but not bad at all.  He suddenly imaged the two of them out on the property under a tree having a picnic.  Pushing that thought aside, he glanced back at Karen to see how she was doing with Dora.
