Eyes front, my guard of the road!" The beggars took up his cry and halted, while he, with his habitual laugh, sprang upon the carriage-step, and again yelled: "Hurrah!" "What is the meaning of this?" I asked, with involuntary amazement. "This? This is my squad, my army; all beggars, God's people, my friends!
Joey, catching sight of her from the bed, screamed and hid his face. To him she was a thing of horror. From the night when, thrust beneath her eyes, he had cowered by her carriage-step, she had haunted his worst dreams. And now, black-robed and terrible of face, she had come to lay hands on him and carry him straight to hell. "Mother! Take her away! take her away!"
A little farther, and we struck to the left up a mountain road, and for two hours threaded one valley after another, green, tangled, full of noble timber, giving us every now and again a sight of Mount Saint Helena and the blue hilly distance, and crossed by many streams, through which we splashed to the carriage-step.
An English professor of his native tongue at the Lycee at Caen told me on my way here that for twenty shillings a week you may live in royal ease round about Harcourt. So we have our bed and board in prospect if fortune fails us, Danvers! 'I would rather die in England, ma'am, was the maid's reply. Dacier set foot on his carriage-step.
But when I see my wife about to do any frantic thing to her own injury, I shall restrain her thus." Balancing himself on the carriage-step, he clasped the little figure in his arms tight strangely tight and close. Before Agatha could resist, he had lifted her safely down, and set her free. She stood passive astonished.
Fane! Mr. Fane!" He went to stand at the carriage-step. "I thought," said Mrs. Hawthorne, "that you were going to come and take us sight-seeing." "I thought I was," said Gerald, with that scant smile of his; "but I was not so fortunate as to find you at home." It was true that he had gone to her door one afternoon, having previously caught a glimpse of her in the heart of the city, shopping.
I cannot believe that, as my aunt tells me, reason is all-sufficient to maintain them in such devotion." She was still sighing when her man-servant let down the handsome carriage-step down which she flew into the hall of her house. She rushed precipitately upstairs, and when she reached her room was startled by seeing her husband sitting by the fire.
And Captain Pond, with the Doctor and Second Lieutenant Clogg at his elbow, was standing hat in hand by the carriage-step; and the weather was perfect, and every face in the crowd and along the line of the Die-hards so unaffectedly happy, that to be brief the Colonel lost his head for the moment and walked through the inspection as in a dream, accepting or at least seeming to accept it in the genial holiday spirit in which it was so honestly presented.
Vesta saw Meshach's wiry, deliberate colored man step down and turn the horses' heads, and there dropped from the carriage, without using the carriage-step, at a leap and a skip, a young female object whose head was invisible in an enormous coal-scuttle bonnet of figured blue chintz. However quick she executed the leap, Vesta observed that the arrival had forgotten to put on her stockings.
As he was leaving the hospital gate he had an afterthought. "I might have left a note." He paused, with his foot on the carriage-step. "I suppose they'll tell him," and so he got in and drove off, looking at his watch. On his second visit, although he came in with a quietly inspiring manner, he had also, secretly, the feeling of a culprit.
