"We'll look around, and if we see any place that looks treasury, we'll come back another time." We rowed around to the westerly side of Fishback Island, as the car-driver had suggested, and landed in a little pebbly cove. Mr. Daddles was delighted with the appearance of the island. "I don't wonder they came here for treasure," said he.
All the while the question remained in the balance as to what we were to do for our hats, and for the myriad baggage involved in the expedition. We finally decided to write a minute inventory of what was indispensable, and to send it to Julia by the faithful hand of Mrs. Coolahan's car-driver, one Croppy, with whom previous expeditions had placed us upon intimate terms.
"Was she alone? She was. "By which gate did the epistolographer Eulaeus depart? By the east. "Was he alone? He was. "Did any one here present meet the chariot either of the lady or of Eulaeus?" "I did," cried a car-driver, whose daily duty it was to go to Memphis with his oxen and cart to fetch provisions for the kitchen, and other necessaries. "Speak," said the high-priest.
"Didn't see no one else coming across the causeway, didger?" he inquired. "Not a soul." "Guess I might's well start, then." He pulled a watch out of his pocket. "What do you make it?"

"Well, governor," said Aby, "how goes it?" "How goes it, indeed! It goes pretty well, I dare say, in here, where you can sit drinking toddy all the evening, and doing nothing."
And it was thus that Virata, the king of the Matsyas, owning a large army, quickly ordered out a large division consisting of four kinds of troops. And having done this, he said, 'Learn ye, without loss of time whether the prince liveth still or not! I myself think that he who hath got a person of the neuter sex for his car-driver is not alive."
And seeing that an encounter was imminent between them, the Kauravas, anxious to witness it, stood aloof as lookers on. And beholding the offender Karna, the son of Pandu, excited to fury, and glad also at having him, soon made him, his horses, his car, and car-driver invisible by means of a frightful shower of countless arrows.
