"I don't know when I've heard that word 'reckling. It simply means her youngest child, who she said was all 'swatched. That signifies being untidy, but I am sure I couldn't see the tiniest spot of dirt anywhere upon the child." Betty was rather glad when they at last jumped off their bicycles at the hotel in Leamington. "I guess I'm not used to quite such long rides as you," she said.
Others are kept cool by a revolving fan geared to the driving-shaft, which blows on the cylinders; while still others small motors used on motor bicycles, generally have wide ridges or projections on the outside of the cylinders to catch the wind as the machine rushes along.
Presently through a distant gate the two small boys were momentarily visible wheeling small but serviceable bicycles, followed after a little interval by the German tutor. Then an enormous grey cat came slowly across the garden court, and sat down to listen respectfully to Mr. Britling. The afternoon sky was an intense blue, with little puff-balls of cloud lined out across it.
It was in the deep December dusk that the Twins' came to the clump on the hill. The Terror lifted their bicycles over the gate and set them behind the hedge. He removed the pound of raisins from his bicycle basket to his pocket, and leaving Erebus to keep watch, he stole down the hedge to the clump, crawled through a gap into it, and walked through it.
They buy neater and better furniture. The newer houses are prettier and more comfortable than their predecessors. Bicycles and cameras are not uncommon in the rural home.
Bicycles somewhat passed from vogue, but automobiles became fashionable, partly for rapid transit, partly for work formerly consigned to heavy teams. Auto-carriages capable of railway speed, varying indefinitely in style and in cost, might be seen upon the smoother roads about cities all the way from Maine to California.
We never get really far from the village. We always get stopped on the way rats, or something." And his guileless, dreamy blue eyes swept the distant autumn hills with a look of yearning. "There are orchards over there where they don't know us," said Erebus wistfully. "We must have bicycles. I've been thinking so for a long time," said the Terror.
And straightway Hewitt plunged into a whirl of talk of bicycles, tricycles, records, racing cyclists, Hillier, and Synyer and Noel Whiting, Taylerson and Appleyard talk wherein the young man opposite bore an animated share, while I was left in the cold.
They did not disturb the farmer's wife at the busy dinner-hour; the Terror threw the apples over the orchard hedge to Erebus. As he remembered his bicycle he said dreamily: "I shouldn't wonder if these bicycles didn't pay for themselves in time." "I said there were orchards out here where they didn't know us," said Erebus, biting into a Ribston pippin.
Sometimes the men and boys mounted their bicycles, rode for a dozen yards, were stopped by the procession, and then, for want of better occupation, rang their bells. One saw innumerable yelping dogs: big Belgian police hounds harnessed to the cart and doing their share of work, others sniffing along the outskirts and plainly advertising for an owner.
