"Well, no," answered the Captain, smiling at her amazement, her eyes being so big and her face such a study. "The poor man's donkey, missy, had been eaten by the crabs, but the cart was there, shafts, wheels, and all; and, a nice mess the lot made of the trawl-net, tearing it all to pieces!" "That clenches it then.
More to accommodate them than because he expected to accomplish anything, the publisher half-heartedly braced himself in a crouching position and pushed upward on the airplane's front. To his amazement the whole forward part of the machine rose upward a foot in the air, as if it were made of paper. "My word!" exclaimed Mr. Giddings, letting the craft back upon its wheels.
They were surrounded by men, women and children, who sang a kind of lugubrious psalm, interrupted at regular intervals by the tambourines and cymbals; while behind them was drawn a car with large wheels, the spokes of which represented serpents entwined with each other.
She was delightful, her frank enjoyment a charming spectacle. Lorry, in that seat which so short a time before had seemed but one remove from the electric chair, now reigned as from a throne, proudly surveying the splendors of her table and the gladness of her guests. When it was over, the last carriage wheels rumbling down the street, the girls stood in the hall and looked at one another.
This was his whole object to keep pace, almost step for step, with the rumbling movement of the distant wagon. At his present gait his wheels gave out practically no sound. They gently, almost silently, crushed their way over the tufted grass, and the sound of his horses' hoofs suggested a muffling. So he made his way, stealthily, secretly.

On the seventh morning we signed a deed of partnership, for Jim would not accept a dollar of my money otherwise; and having once more engaged myself or that mortal part of me, my purse among the wheels of his machinery, I returned alone to San Francisco and took quarters in the Palace Hotel. The same night I had Nares to dinner.
If we landed, the roads were impassable for runners, almost for wheels, and another hour might carry the ladies, by means of the river, to their comfortable homes. That day, however, which, down to the moment of meeting the unknown sleigh, had been the very happiest of my life, was entirely changed in its aspect, and I no longer regarded it with any satisfaction.
As he heard the wheels of the buggy, he looked around, and raised a cautioning hand: "Look out! You scare my birds. Rein in that mettlesome steed of yours! That green cock was just going to take a bath." Goliath stopped at a discreet distance, and Dr. Lavendar sat still.
For wheels, use pieces of small broomstick or dowel rod. Let the children study real trains and make the best imitation they can work out. Jumping Jacks. Cut the figure from light weight cardboard. Make head and body in one piece. Cut two arms long enough to reach well above the head. Make the hands very large. Cut two legs either with or without a joint at the knee.
