I think the picture is photographed upon my memory forever. There's so much you would like to hear and so little I'm allowed to tell. Ask G.M.'C. if he was at Princeton with a man named Price an instructor there. You ought to see the excitement when the water-cart brings us our mail and the letters are handed out.
We have rather to think of the long years spent in the seclusion of Eastwell, by these gentle impoverished people of quality, the husband occupied with his mathematical studies, his painting, the care of his garden; the wife studying further afield in her romantic reverie, watching the birds in wild corners of her park, carrying her Tasso, hidden in a fold of her dress, to a dell so remote that she forgets the way back, and has to be carried home "in a Water-cart driven by one of the Underkeepers in his green Coat, with a Hazle-bough for a Whip."
So saying, he poured the contents of the vial into the canteen, and then, going to a water-cart, filled it up. He waited until the camp was quiet, and then, taking off his boots and fastening in his belt his own bayonet and that of one of the men sleeping near, he quietly and cautiously made his way out of camp.
But nobody cared to change a guinea that day in Rochester, and as they went from shop to shop they got dirtier and dirtier, and their hair got more and more untidy, and Jane slipped and fell down on a part of the road where a water-cart had just gone by. Also they got very hungry, but they found no one would give them anything to eat for their guineas.
Upon the rotund barrel of this water-cart rode a boy. The plowing-engine came to a standstill, the boy got down from the water-cart and uncoupled the locomotive from the living-van.
Still lower down the rock, along its eastern and southern face, there winds a dark and narrow street, with odd, antique houses on either side. The only conveyance that can pass along it is the water-cart which supplies the town with fresh water from the mainland.
But little boys may pat him, and no offence given. It was all quite true." "Well, now! that is very nice to know. Was it true, too, all about the horses and the wheelsacks, and the water-cart?" "Of course! oh yes, of course it was! That was our model. Only it should not have been wheelsacks. Wheat sacks! And water-cart! he meant water-wheel. Bless the child! he'd got it all topsy-turned.
It was for this young Dudley, who resembled a London of the sparrowy roadways and wearisome pavements and blocks of fortress mansions, by chance a water-cart spirting a stale water: or a London of the farewell dinner-parties, where London's professed anecdotist lays the dust with his ten times told: Why was not Nataly relieved of her dreary round of the purchases of furniture!
A solitary water-cart goes jingling down the wide pavement, and spirts a feeble refreshment over the dusty, thirty stones. After pacing for some time through such dismal streets, we deboucher on the grande place; and before us lies the palace dedicated to all the glories of France. In the midst of the great lonely plain this famous residence of King Louis looks low and mean Honored pile!
I was too ugly for that and too well taken care of." "Your mother looked after you, then?" "No, my girl; but I was harnessed." "Harnessed!" cried Rose-Pompon, in amazement, interrupting the dealer. "Yes, harnessed to a water-cart, along with my brother. So, you see, when we had drawn like a pair of horses for eight or ten hours a day, I had no heart to think of nonsense."
