Whether it were tire or linch-pin, hame or brake, something metallic about a wagon or buck-board was being pounded into place or shape. "It's them, sir," muttered the sergeant; "it's that bloody gang, for there's no stage due to-night, and if it was Harvey's ambulance, recaptured, 'tis from the northeast it would be coming."
"We'll have it here presently but Jim'll have to help. We've lost a linch-pin in the dark. Come along, Jim." "Shure you're not going to take Jim away and leave me alone with the poor children. Oh, corporal, for the love of the blessed saints don't do that!" "Sho! Kate. We won't be any distance away and there ain't an Indian within ten miles. They wouldn't dare come prowling around at night.
Lord Colambre listened with all possible composure and attention; but the postillion having now made his linch-pin of wood, and FIXED HIMSELF; he mounted his bar, and drove on, saying to Lord Colambre, as he looked at the road-makers 'Poor CRATURES! They couldn't keep their cattle out of pound, or themselves out of jail, but by making this road. 'Is road-making, then, a very profitable business?
Belle sat still, and occasionally smiled, but suddenly started up, and retreated towards her encampment, on a spark which I purposely sent in her direction alighting on her knee. I found the making of a linch-pin no easy matter; it was, however, less difficult than the fabrication of a pony-shoe; my work, indeed, was much facilitated by my having another pin to look at.
Here, then, suddenly emerged a perfect ratification for their own previous revolutionary doctrine upon the creation of parish clergymen.

This plea, by its tendency, rounded and secured all that they had yet advanced in the way of claim.
"Why, sir, the linch-pin was all rotted away, I suppose, and came out." "Did the servant get off the dickey after you set out, and before the accident happened?" "Why, yes. He said the wheels were catching fire, that they had not the patent axles, and he had forgot to have them oiled." "And he looked at the wheels, and shortly afterwards the linch-pin came out? Eh?"
But censure, praise, merriment, scorn and indifference were all one or, rather, all nothing to David Swan.

Wheel-caps had not been invented in those days, as they have since been by the ingenious builders of Long Acre. And how the linch-pin of the wheel had come out I do not pretend to say; but it possibly may have been extracted by some rogues among the crowd before Lord Charlemont's gate.
