Hooley had seen the logs start. Squeezed out by the weight of the pile, the lower logs, stripped of bark and squealing like living creatures started over the brink. They rolled, faster and faster, down upon the unwarned Ruth Fielding. And behind the leaders poured the whole pile, gathering speed as the avalanche made headway!
He says the through express made the run faster thirty years ago." "I guess that's so," said the Honourable Hilary, "I was counsel for that road then. I read that letter. He says there isn't an engine on the division that could pull his hat off, up grade." Neither of the two gentlemen appeared to deem this statement humorous. "What these incendiaries don't understand," said Mr.
McClellan long since proved that he would not advance without men enough to walk over everything. He is as heavy as one of his own siege guns. He may be sure, if he has all he wants, but is mortally slow, and hadn't brains enough to realize that the Chickahominy swamps thinned his army faster than brave fighting.
But she cared not she saw a gathering school and rising church, which eclipsed all thought of present inattentions and gaucheries. She monopolised Margaret in the twilight, and rhapsodised to her heart's content, talking faster and faster, and looking more and more excited.
They were destined to have a most delightful time on this their Island of Delight and to experience some thrills as well, and Harriet's plans were to work out better than she knew.

I believe the stuff's working off! Put that dog down." "Eh?" he said. "It's working off," I repeated. "We're too hot and the stuff's working off! I'm wet through." He stared at me, then at the band, the wheezy rattle of whose performance was certainly going faster.
"Don't you trust father to help us somehow some time or other?" He twisted his mustache desperately upwards. "I want to help myself." She smiled openly now. "You can't be trusted yet; you're so greedy!" He laughed, but a little wryly. "It's because I'm starving." "Then work, work!" said Jean. "I can't work harder," he answered more philosophically. "I can only sell faster."
George glanced at her queerly. Then he rose and came to stand near her, leaning against the tree. "You know, Letty, we shall have to pay that money," he said suddenly, pulling at his moustache.
