Purdy, "Shall I wheel you over to the cabinet?" "I'll shove him," said Dan, making his first voluntary remark. "There now!" said Mrs. Purdy, "see how much stronger he is than I am! And he didn't jolt you a bit, did he, dearie?" If the room itself was interesting, the cabinet was nothing short of entrancing. It was full of carved animals in all manner of grotesque positions.
"Take the wheel, Dave; it will steady you to have something to do," spoke the builder to the inventor. "As soon as you get the wheel, turn the course to due south. Follow it to the line." Jack Benson slid out of the helmsman's seat, giving way to the inventor, and stepped down the stairway. At the foot he came upon Eph and Hal, standing there, their faces presenting a strange look.
The "oh" was literally jolted out of her. Turning rather a sudden curve at a pretty good clip, the wagon slipped over the edge of a chuck-hole a little deeper than the ordinary. Happening as it did in just the right place, it caught the weakened wheel and wrenched it off as neatly and as suddenly as a dentist wrenches a tooth out of the jaw of an unwilling patient.
Fair wreaths had the maidens, and the youths daggers of gold hanging from silver baldrics. And now would they run round with deft feet exceeding lightly, as when a potter sitting by his wheel that fitteth between his hands maketh trial of it whether it run: and now anon they would run in lines to meet each other.
"Well, then, according to your own principle that is the reverse of a misfortune, for if I saw everything in the same light that you do, you'd have no pleasure in talking to me, you'd have no occasion to reason me out of error, or convince me of truth. Take the subject of poetry, now " "Luff," said Captain Roy, sternly, to the man at the wheel.
It's a satisfaction to know that she'll wait for me any length of time, and that she really is the dearest girl 'When are you to meet her at the coach? I ask. 'At seven, says Traddles, looking at his plain old silver watch the very watch he once took a wheel out of, at school, to make a water-mill. 'That is about Miss Wickfield's time, is it not? 'A little earlier.
"Your wheel does seem to be a sort of a companion," she said; "not so good as a horse, but better than nothing. I should think, travelling all by yourself in this way, you would have quite a friendly feeling for it. Did you ever think of giving it a name?" "Oh yes," said I. "I have named it. I call it a 'Bicycle of Cathay." "Is there any sense in such a name?" she asked.
Now I can turn my eyes toward the mill again, and watch the unresting wheel sending out its diamond jets of water. That little girl is watching it too; she has been standing on just the same spot at the edge of the water ever since I paused on the bridge.
"There's a wreck yonder," I cried, pointing eagerly, "with a man on board signaling to us." "Get me the glass," he said sulkily; and I picked it up and handed it to him. He looked at the wreck for some moments; and addressing the man at the wheel, exclaimed, making a movement with his hand, "Keep her away! Where in the devil are you steering to?" "Good heaven!"
While the general read and pondered, Lannes turned toward the wheel on which John sat. Although he tried to preserve calm, John knew that he was tremendously excited. He had taken off his heavy glasses and his wonderful gray eyes were flashing. It was obvious to his friend, who now knew him so well, that he was moved by some tremendous emotion.
