Didn't he know he was there to make the audience laugh? not to give a representation of Monsieur Mounet-Sully elongated by the rack. "Hop, man petit," said he at last. "F moi le camp," which is a very vulgar way of insisting on a person's immediate retirement. "Here is your week's salary. I gain by the proceeding. The baggage-man will see us through. He has done so before. As for Moignon "
Shouting to the baggage-man to bring the expected articles to the stable, he was soon there and made another experiment. A hostler brought him a blanket, which he strapped around his waist, and mounted again in a lady's style. It was at once evident that the horse had never been ridden by a woman.
When he had satisfied his hunger, the traveller returned to the depot, and, lying comfortably in the shade of a baggage truck, indulged in a siesta, a sleep so light this time, however, that the rolling back of the baggage-room door shattered it. Sitting up, Elsmere watched the baggage-man get a tin trunk and a canvas telescope ready for shipping.
The next morning I presented my check and was informed that there was no piece of baggage there with a corresponding number. I told the baggage-man that I saw him take it off and set it on the platform.
Now, child, introduce me to your Frieda and get back on the train at once." "Here she is," said Hannah, casting one more sad look at the shattered cake, over which a baggage-man had rolled a heavy truck. "And, Frieda, Miss Eliot is the one to go to, always, when you need anything, from shoe-strings to a scolding. O, Catherine, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to help!"
Rajah scattered the seeds about, spurned the banana-tip, tilted the water-cup and swashbuckled generally. By and by, above the clack-clack of wheels and rails, came a crooning song. The baggage-man looked up from his way-book and lowered his pipe. He saw the little green bird pause and begin to keep time with its head. It was the Urdu lullaby James used to sing.

"Why, yes, sir." "We go to Lakeview Hall. And we know Linda Riggs," blurted out Bess, remembering what the baggage-man had advised them to say to the conductor. "Oh, indeed?" said Mr.
Be kind to him, and let me come and see him after awhile. I don't wish him ever to come into the house again." "The baggage-man has brought the trunks," said Terry. "Have them taken upstairs. Would you like to go to your room, Miss Orme?" "If you please, madam." "Then I must bid you good-bye," said Mr. Roscoe, holding out his hand. "Do you not live here?" "Oh no!
But then, any one would fall in love with Solomon, he's such a dear." Mrs. Clyde recalled the five dollar bill she had witnessed Mr. Ashe pass to the baggage-man at the beginning of the journey, and the money she had given by his instruction along the way, and wondered how much Solomon's real worth had contributed to his care.
And here in less than ten minutes I learned news which made me feel a stranger indeed. My baggage was lost; it had not come on my train; it was adrift somewhere back in the two thousand miles that lay behind me. And by way of comfort, the baggage-man remarked that passengers often got astray from their trunks, but the trunks mostly found them after a while.
