The king had no choice but to give the man the letter, and he strode off, making short work of the distance that lay between the palace and the Underworld.

Hobbs attended to all that for us; fact is, this boat is owned by a friend of his, which was how we got it as cheap as we did.

To-day, if you count all the American railroads reaching up from trunk lines north to Canada, and all the Canadian spurs reaching south from trunk lines into the United States, and all the great trunk lines having subsidiaries like the South Shore and "Soo" crossing the border, and all the lines having international running rights over one another's roadbed, there are more than sixty railroads feeding Canadian traffic into the United States and American traffic into Canada.
