They're taking the cake-bread out of the oven!" They rushed indoors one on top of the other. On the table lay four golden-yellow brown-crusted loaves, as big as cart-wheels, steaming till the whole house smelt of them. "First let it cool! Then you can eat it," said mother and gave each of them a flat scone. "Yes, mother."
Then at last "Yes!" said I, aloud. "Yes!" said a voice beside me, and I nearly jumped out of my skin, "unless they suspect the track of our cart-wheels and follow it up, we are all right!" I looked round into the eyes of Ranjoor Singh, and felt my whole skin creep like a snake's at sloughing time! "Sahib!" said I.
But I could have keelhauled the wretch, bell and all, when he came to the door of the little hotel where my prospective audience and I were dining, and with his clattering bell and fiendish yell made noises that would awake the dead, all over the voyage of the Spray from "Boston to Bowen, the two Hubs in the cart-wheels of creation," as the "Boomerang" afterward said. Mr.
I sat down upon a plough opposite, and sketched with great delight this little picture of brotherly tenderness. I added the neighbouring hedge, the barn-door, and some broken cart-wheels, just as they happened to lie; and I found in about an hour that I had made a very correct and interesting drawing, without putting in the slightest thing of my own.
Then there is the creak of cart-wheels; a peasant makes his way among the bushes at a walking-pace, and sets his horse in the shade before the heat of the day.... You greet him, and turn away; the musical swish of the scythe is heard behind you. The sun rises higher and higher. The grass is speedily dry. And now it is quite sultry.
I am master here. And I tell thee, Nick, that thou shalt see the play, and be the play, in part, and well, we shall see what we shall see." With that he fell to humming and chuckling to himself, as if he had swallowed a water-mill, while Nick turned ecstatic cart-wheels along the grass beside the road, until presently Coventry came in sight.
She waited for some time without hearing anything more: at last came a rumbling of little cart-wheels, and the sound of a good many voices all talking together: she made out the words "where's the other ladder? why, I hadn't to bring but one, Bill's got the other here, put 'em up at this corner no, tie 'em together first they don't reach high enough yet oh, they'll do well enough, don't be particular here, Bill! catch hold of this rope will the roof bear? mind that loose slate oh, it's coming down! heads below!
He felt strangled, as if a ligature about his throat had forced all the blood to his brain and confined it there. After a moment the bearded man continued: "You may not know it, but she is a dancer of some repute, a circumstance which she owes entirely to me. I picked her up, a mere child in the streets of London, turning cart-wheels for a living. I took her and trained her as an acrobat.
'He'll kill you! screamed Harold, in despair, ready to push in between them with his horse; but at that moment cart-wheels were heard in the road, and Dick, shaking his fist, and swearing at them both, shook off Paul as if he had been a feather, and splashing out of the ford on the other side, leapt over the hedge, and was off through the plantations.
And it's no snap this year, with the shops showing postage-stamp hats one day and cart-wheels the next. I said this morning that I envied the head of the tinware department. Been over often?" Sophy made the shamefaced confession of the novice: "My first trip." The inevitable answer came: "Your first! Really! This is my twentieth crossing. Been coming over twice a year for ten years.
