He perceived in Bonaparte a kind of acerbity and bitter irony, of which he long endeavoured to discover the cause. I accompanied him in a carriole as far as Nogent Sur Seine, whence the coach was to start. We parted with regret, and we did not meet again till the year 1792.
He started off himself, but he was no sooner out of sight than he concealed himself in a clump of bushes, watching the road along which she whom he even still loved with an almost savage passion was to return dead, dying or maybe crippled and disfigured forever. And soon a carriole passed by carrying a strange burden. It stopped at the chateau and passed through the gate. It was that, it was she.
Though Penelope galloped, Mademoiselle Cormon, absorbed in thoughts of her trousseau and the wedding-day, declared again and again that Jacquelin made no way at all. She twisted about in the carriole without replying to Josette's questions, and talked to herself like a person who is mentally revolving important designs.
The capabilities of the carriole would be exhausted as soon as the snow-covered regions were reached and to manage a pulkha successfully, required special skill of no ordinary kind.
A sorry carriole or patache it proved to be, with the accessories of a lumbering white mare and a little wizened, ancient peasant, who had put on, in honor of the occasion, a new blouse of extraordinary stiffness and blueness.
They used to love playing tricks and romping with him. Frequently, when nearing a post, they would purposely dump him out of his carriole and leaving him behind, go on to the post, where, of course, on their arrival with the empty sled, they were promptly sent back for Mr. Clark.
A low-hung carriage was advancing slowly along the roadway, a sort of carriole, drawn by a single horse, which a lieutenant of zouaves was leading by the bridle. They took it to be a wounded man that they were bringing to them, the first of their patients. "Yes, yes! This is the place; this way!" But they were quickly undeceived.
In the yard behind the house was a carriole ready harnessed to carry away the older couple with the money, and the mother of Jean-Francois. The remainder of the family were to go on foot by night. At the moment when the young abbe entered the low room in which the family were assembled the rector of Montegnac had exhausted all the resources of his eloquence.
Snow lay heavily over all the country he would have to traverse the only means of conveyance was by carriole or pulkha the latter a sort of sledge used by the Laplanders, made in the form of a boat, and generally drawn by reindeer.
This carriole, known to all the town, was cared for by Jacquelin as though it were the finest coupe in all Paris. Mademoiselle valued it; she had used it for twelve years, a fact to which she called attention with the triumphant joy of happy avarice.
