"Isn't that our Charlie?" said she to her daughter, surveying the crowd of noisy boys through her eye-glass. "I really believe it is that is certainly our livery; pull the check-string, and stop the carriage." Now Robberts had been pressed into service in consequence of Charlie's absence, and was in no very good humour at being compelled to air his rheumatic old shins behind the family-carriage.
"You drove a lady from here to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Depot last Friday?" he asked. "Well, not exactly, sir," the man answered. "The Duchess took my cab, and the first address she gave was the New York, New Haven & Hartford Depot, but before we'd driven a hundred yards she pulled the check-string and ordered me to go to the Waldorf. She paid me there, and went into the hotel."
Then, looking at him earnestly, he asked: "Is it agreed?" Serge hesitated for a moment, and then bowed his head, saying: "It is agreed." Herzog pulled the check-string communicating with the coachman and alighted. "Good-by," said he to Panine. He slipped into his own carriage, which had followed closely behind, and drove off. From that day, even Jeanne had a rival.
'Fancy, said my aunt, who was writing a letter at a little desk between two windows, 'fancy an Aylwin pulling the check-string, and then, with ladies in the carriage and the rain pouring During that day how many times I passed in front of the theatre I cannot say; but at last I thought the very men in the shops must be observing me.
"Ah!" Here Lemercier pulled the check-string. "Will you object to a walk in this quiet alley? I see some one whom I have promised the Englishman to But heed me, Alain, don't fall in love with her." The lady in the pearl-coloured dress! Certainly it was a face that might well arrest the eye and linger long on the remembrance.

Having, by well-managed contradiction, brought him to the proper pitch of excitement, he affected to grow impatient and angry, himself, and saying that "he could not think of staying in the same coach with a person that would use such language," pulled the check-string, and desired the coachman to let him out.
He saw us, and pulling his check-string, alighted, and coming up to us, with the colour mounting to his forehead with emotion, returned the salute of the Major and me. "Major," said he, "you will excuse me, but I am anxious to have some conversation with Mr Newland; perhaps," continued his lordship, addressing me, "you will do me the favour to take a seat in my carriage?"
Each individual has a life of his own, the claims and the habits and the needs of which do not suppress his sympathies with public life, but imperiously overrule them. Mrs. Morley, permit me to pull the check-string I get out here." "I like that man," said Enguerrand, as he continued to ride by the fair American, "in language and esprit he is so French."
The bearcoot was again set free Ossaroo taking care to keep the leash well in hand; and now the beautiful bird of Jove rose into the air, as if not the summit of the cliff, but the proud peak of Chumulari, was to be the limit of its flight. At the height of fifty yards its soaring ambition was suddenly curbed, by the check-string of Ossaroo, reminding it that it was still a captive.
