I will bind up the "Political Sonnets" and "Ode" according to your suggestion. I have not bound the poems yet; I wait till people have done borrowing them. I think I shall get a chain and chain them to my shelves, more Bodleiano, and people may come and read them at chain's length.
This was not a good idea because we were following close, a tow chain's length, behind the other coach and we were in the minor sandstorm of its wake. Soon our sweaty bodies were caked with sand and the only respite came when the front spring shackle gave way and we ground to a halt. Repairs were made and the tow chain was re-attached, this time to the other front spring shackle.
That's why we carry a scarf. Since your chain's not worth anything a present from some mamselle and the watch is a gold one, I've left you the chain as a keepsake. Take it," he added with a sigh, holding out the watch. "But ... That is clever," the barrister said in confusion. "I didn't notice it at all." "That's our business," Yasha said with pride. He swaggered back to his comrades.
With a great deal of panting and struggling they succeeded in getting about half-way; then suddenly there was a crack, and the machine, instead of going forward, began to run back. Faster and faster it went, the pedals remaining motionless under their feet. "The chain's gone," gasped the captain. "There's a cart behind! Quick, run her aground!" Of course the mate turned the handle the wrong way.
"You pray well," answered the "horse-dealer" approaching his chattel, but keeping the chain's length away; then he poured me a full cup of wine, and another for himself. I later recollected that the man had held the cup a long time to his lips, but without my being able to see whether he drank or not. "Come," he added. "Come, let us drink to the good gain I shall make on you!"
Now, then, set down the lanthorn on one of the stones and unlock this fetter, or whatever it is." "Can't, sir," said the man, gruffly. "What! I order you to do it." "Yes, sir, I hear you, but the chain's locked round his ankle." "Well, I know that. Unlock it." "Well, I would, sir, as it's come to this, but I arn't got the key." "What!" cried Aleck, with a chill of despair running through him.
"My chain's broken, and I've got a mile to go." "Jump up in back," invited the man. "Leave your wheel here; I guess it will be safe." "Oh, I couldn't do that," said Tom. "I don't mind walking. I'm wet through now, and I can't get much wetter. I'm much obliged, though." "Well, I'm sorry, but I can hardly take you and the bicycle, too," continued the chauffeur.
"England, home and beauty!" said Vetch, with a mock-heroic air, strangely out of tune with the subject under discussion. "You'd like to go home again, wouldn't you, old man?" Gabbett turned on him fiercely, his low forehead wrinkled into a frown of ferocious recollection. "You!" he said "You think the chain's fine sport, don't yer? But I've been there, my young chicken, and I knows what it means."
'It's a repeater, mind, observed Pacey, taking off the chain. 'The chain's heavy, said Jack, running it up in his hand; 'and here's a pistol-key and a beautiful pencil-case, with the Pacey crest and motto, observed Jack, trying to decipher the latter.
