Then if things go wrong they'll believe I left you somewhere." "No," said Jill composedly, "I'd leave tracks in the ploughed ground. They'd find me." Lockley ground his teeth.

Flossie and Freddie thought nothing of this. They were too excited in looking at the merry-go-round outfit. This fun-making machine was loaded on four large trucks, hauled by four sturdy horses each. On one truck was an engine, with a fire in it and smoke and steam coming from it.
This boat pulled six oars, which were manned by the servants of the two Messrs. Effinghams, Mr. Blunt, and Mr. Sharp, together with the two latter gentlemen in person. Mr. Effingham steered. Captain Truck had the jolly-boat, of which he pulled an oar himself, aided by Saunders, Mr. Monday, and Sir George Templemore; the mates and the regular crew being actively engaged in rigging their jury-mast.
I'm none fond of beating pony, but bank's steep and we mun gan up. The folks mun have their things." Vane glanced at the pony, which stood with lowered head and heaving flank.

He ain't sure of the language, but he knows it was swearing. He wasn't going to get off, at first; but the German got a big stick from the roadside and started for him, so he climbed down the other side and started to run. But the cowardly German didn't chase him a single step. He got back in his seat and started down the road quicker than it looked like his truck had been able to travel.
Among his published works are a Life of Melanchthon, Meditations on the Beatitudes and Explanations of Luther's Catechism. Julius Ehrhardt was an unassuming, lovable and scholarly Suabian. He laid the foundations of St. Paul's in Harlem, when the little wooden church stood among the truck gardens. He died in 1899. Moldenke was a descendant of Salzburg exiles who settled in East Prussia in 1731.
