But he was well satisfied, for, ever as they came out of copse or hollow, there was the huge thing in the sky, nearer than before. At last he was able to descry a short stretch of the castle rampart, past which, away to the westward, the dog was pulling, along a rough cart-track through a field.
Footsteps he thought he heard 'tother side of a low broken hedge, where birches grew and the gate opened into a rutted cart-track through the woods. The sound was made by no wild creature, pattering four-foot, but the quick tramp of a man, and when Sam stood still the sound ceased, and when he went forward he reckoned it began again.
We had better make for that ridge of trees to the right; I imagine the Crowley road is just beyond. "We trotted off slowly along a faintly marked cart-track, with the beast following cheerfully at our heels. "'What on earth are we to do with the hyaena? came the inevitable question. "'What does one generally do with hyaenas? I asked crossly.
Dr. May had made his call at Drydale, and was driving up a rough lane, between furzy banks, leading to Cocksmoor, when he was aware of a tall gentleman on one side of the road and a little lady on the other, with the whole space of the cart-track between them, advancing soberly towards him.

Big surly dogs came rushing out at me, but I clumped them off with my stick, and having much doubt in my mind as to the sort of reception I should get, I knocked at the windows and doors.
For a mile and a half from the farm the road, or, rather, cart-track, may be described as a kind of steeplechase on wheels, every step of the way showing either a stone- heap or a ditch, the word 'rut' being quite an inadequate definition.
Laputa's great voice rang out in some order which was repeated down the column, and the wide flanks of the force converged on the narrow cart-track which entered the water.

"No," shouted the driver, "I shall keep them as evidence against Prissy Hudson for assisting a runaway!" "Lost! lost!" muttered the mulatto. "Now, darling, the swamp's our only road!" He seized her in his flight, and pulled her up the cart-track along the swampy branch. "What have you done?" cried Virgie. "Come! come!" answered the man. "Here is no place to talk."
