The fellows, after the first amazement, fell on him with all kinds of ragging: Who was she? Was she out of baby clothes? Would she come in a perambulator? "Shut up!" said the bridegroom, hilariously. He went home to Eleanor tingling with pride. "I want you to be perfectly stunning, Star! Of course you always are; but rig up in your best duds! I'm going to make those fellows cross-eyed with envy.
Rymer had gone out with the children, the servant accompanying her to wheel baby's perambulator; she ran up from the kitchen, aproned, with sleeves rolled to the elbow, and met the excited man as he descended from a vain search in the bedrooms. 'Has it happened? she cried for it seemed to her that there could be only one explanation of Mr. Rymer's behaviour. 'Yes!
And then there had been Baby's illnesses. Before that there was the perambulator. But that was worth it.

His time was now principally devoted to inventions; he received a silver medal in 1768 from the Society of Arts for a perambulator, as he calls it, an instrument for measuring land.
'In what? H. O. said; 'the perambulator? Daisy choked and then tried to drink, and spluttered and got purple, and had to be thumped on the back. But Oswald was not appeased.

As they reached the porch, he laid aside his paper, and rose with his hand still on the perambulator. "Oh, it's you," he said, "Mr. Gershom." "I've brought this lady to see Mrs. Green," returned Gershom. "How is she?" The stout man shook his head and surveyed Patty curiously but not discourteously.
But Theodora, in the boastfulness of her new lungs, yelled uninterruptedly on. Then did Mary try cajolery. She removed her sister from the perambulator and staggered back in a sitting posture with suddenness and force. The jar gave Theodora pause, and Mary crammed the silence full of promise.
However, he had to stick grimly to the perambulator. Nellie tripped primly in black silk on one side of it. Nurse had the wayward Ralph by the hand.
