Of the number and kind of these hobbies there is no need here to speak, but when there were so many gathered into a single place, the neighing and snorting, the champing of conversational bits, and the pounding of huge and heavy feet were curious to behold and to hear. And Ogla-Moga? Now the native costumes were coming into play, and Miss Slopham's long martyrdom was to have its reward.
But, the sea itself showed much the greatest sign of coming disturbance. The waves, no longer following each other in long heaving rollers, were curving upwards and jostling each other like so many fiery coursers, suddenly thrown back on their haunches, by reason of being reined in when in the full burst of their mad career, and now champing their bits with angry impatience!
I offer you my hand and my other cheek in case you want to try a left hook. But I come with another purpose. Outside is a chariot with ninety horses French rating champing at the throttle. We are going away from here." "You're drunk again, Mr. Wharton?" He glanced at the clock over Regan's head and shook his head in negation. "It's only ten-twenty. In two hours from now " "Give me that 'phone."
There were mews somewhere in the vicinity, and I could smell the horses and even hear them champing in their stalls! I loved that, and would lie with my eyes shut, drinking it in, imagining I was back in the stables in far away Cumberland, sitting on the old corn bin listening to Jimmy Jardine's wonderful tales of how the horses "came back" to him in the long ago days of his youth.
The old Britisher moved thoughtfully towards his broncho. "We'll try y'r sheriff at least, we'll try him first." And again the Ranger laughed. "Don't laugh, man! D' y' know what it means when men are driven outside the line of law?" The horses waded in midstream and reached down drinking, champing on their bits. "Well what does it mean?"
Selma had several times alluded with a sigh to the satisfaction there must be in driving in the new park. Babcock had kept a horse, and the Williamses now drove past the windows daily in a phaeton drawn by two iron gray, champing steeds.
Lively young women, negligently reclining against the cushions, displayed their new Paris toilettes, and kept young officers on horseback busy with salutes. There were all kinds of uniforms. No talking was heard. Everyone was kept busy looking. There rang in the pure, thin air only the noise of the champing bits and the tintinnabulation of the bells attached to the hairy Finnish ponies' collars.
The shining span of blacks, with flowing manes and champing bits, became a feature of the avenue as the women drove up and down on their never-ending quest for household luxuries they had gone beyond mere necessities. Mart usually went with them, sitting in the carriage while they "visited" with the grocery clerks and furniture dealers. They were very popular with these people, as was natural.
It laid in the valley, and was as free of uproar and pestilence as one of them rural towns in the country. There was a three-mile trolley line champing its bit in the environs; and me and Idaho spent a week riding on one of the cars, dropping off at nights at the Sunset View Hotel.
Windsor, sir, may I ask?" inquired the favoured one. The others paused for the reply. "Alas! no," said Psmith with manly regret. "Then who are you?" "I am Psmith." There was a pause. "Where is Mr. Windsor?" "He is, I fancy, champing about forty cents' worth of lunch at some neighbouring hostelry." "When will he return?" "Anon. But how much anon I fear I cannot say."
