Millicent was always so frank upon the subject of her own worthlessness. "We don't know what these people would be like if they had no Koran to curb them," Millicent said. "It may do more than you think. It's a strong bearing-rein." "That's true. The Egyptians are, I suppose, about the most sensual of all Easterns the women are considered so, at any rate, by Lane, and he knew them intimately."
And there's a buck with his bearing-rein so tight that he can hardly move his neck," pointing to a gentleman in scarlet, with a tremendous stiff blue cravat "he lives by keeping a mad-house and being werry high, consequential sort of a cock, they calls him the 'Lord High Keeper! I'll tell ye a joke about that fellow," said he, pointing to a man alighting from a red-wheeled buggy "he's a werry shabby screw, and is always trying to save a penny.
There was then a great to-do to make the pony hold up his head that the bearing-rein might be fastened; at last even this was effected; and the old gentleman, taking his seat and the reins, put his hand in his pocket to find a sixpence for Kit. He had no sixpence, neither had the old lady, nor Mr Abel, nor the Notary, nor Mr Chuckster.
To the top of the duga is attached the bearing-rein, and underneath the highest part of it is fastened a big bell in the southern provinces I found two, and sometimes even three bells which, when the country is open and the atmosphere still, may be heard a mile off. The use of the bell is variously explained.
The coach, though slow, was clean and smart, the harness bright and well-polished, while the sleek brown horses poked their heads about at ease, without the torture of the bearing-rein. The coachman, like his vehicle, was heavy, and had he been set on all fours, a party of six might have eat off his back.
He saw again the pale face she ever after wore; he remembered how, when he met her in the street, she used at first to droop her head and blush, until her will lifted her chin like a bearing-rein and she forced herself to a proud blank stare, while her small stature worked to make her crinoline an indignant spreading majesty behind her.
"Oh, well, well!" the man exclaimed, throwing back his head in sharp impatience, as a horse will against the restraint of the bearing-rein. He raised his eyebrows, while his lips set in a smile the reverse of gay. Then he looked down at Richard again, an unwonted softness in his expression. "Been happy?" he said. "Enjoyed your drive? That's right.
As the Duchess in the play said of her son, who had had unpleasantness with the authorities at Eton because they had been trying to teach him things, "Silwood is a sweet boy, but he will not stand the bearing-rein". Dunstable was also a sweet boy, but he, too, objected to the bearing-rein. And Linton was a sweet boy, and he had similar prejudices.
"Confound you, Piers!" he said. "I sometimes think that voyage round the world did you more harm than good." "Why, sir?" said Piers quickly. Sir Beverley's look left the smiling, baffling face upon the wall and sought his grandson's. "You were so mad to be off the bearing-rein, weren't you?" he said. "So keen to feel your own feet? I thought it would make a man of you, but I was a fool to do it.
To whirl rapidly round a room at the rate of ten miles an hour, with her right hand outstretched in the grasp of her partner's, and to know that she was tightly buoyed up, like a horse by a bearing-rein, by his other hand behind her back, was for her sufficient.
