Want I should stop her?" Nils shook his head. He heard the deep chug-chug of a motor vibrating steadily in the clear twilight behind them. The pale lights of the car swam over the hill, and the old man slapped his reins and turned clear out of the road, ducking his head at the first of three angry snorts from behind.
A faint chug-chug was heard in the distance, gradually coming nearer. "It's my car. I wish you hadn't been so quick to get rid of it last night. We could have gone away in it now." "Never mind, I'll buy you another." They hoped to reach the turn in the road before the car got there, but failed. Doctor Jack came to a dead stop. "Want a lift?" he asked. "No, thank you," said Romeo.
At length the last good-by had been spoken, the last merry girl was gone, four of the teachers, too, had deserted their posts for holiday fun, and as the chug-chug of the last machine died away in the distance, Miss Pomeroy dropped her arms over the shoulders of the two drooping figures on the steps, and said cheerily, "And is this all I have left of my big flock?
Herds of cattle grazed calmly on the hills, and she could hear the faint tinkling of their bells above the chug-chug of Middy's small steamer ahead. At intervals fleets of barges, pulled along by struggling little tugboats, passed between her and the bank. These would see Tarrytown the promised land of Screech Owl's prophecy, the paradise she had been forced to leave!
The answer was old as patience as old as courage. But to theorize about it was really superfluous! Why think at all? Why not say chug-chug like the liner? "We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go " Dinner! Was it possible? The day had been a blur! Well, probably all the rest of life would be a blur.
"And so am I," replied Chester, as he, too, jumped to the ground to stretch his legs. Suddenly from the distance in which they had come came a faint "chug-chug." Chester pricked up his ears. "What's that?" he demanded anxiously. For a brief moment Hal paused to listen. The sound became louder. Hal sprang toward his bicycle. "Come on!" he cried, and leaped into the saddle. "Motorcycles!
Tommy, Miss Pipkin's black cat, was mincing contentedly at some scraps when the chug-chug of the exhaust shot from the side of the boat. Tommy shot from the cockpit. He paused on the upper step, a startled glare in his eyes. He forgot the tempting morsels; he forgot his rheumatism; he was bent on flight. And fly he did. With a wild yodeling yell he sprang forward.
A short time later his car pulled up before the La Coste and, in a long duster and cap, Del Mar jumped in, and was off. Scarcely had his car swung up the avenue when, from an alleyway down the street from the hotel, the chug-chug of a motor-cycle sounded. A bearded man, his face further hidden by a pair of goggles, ran out with his machine, climbed on and followed.
She could hear through her aching brain the chug-chug of Molly's motor following. It was not until they turned into Paradise Road that Mr. King spoke to her. Then he said gently: "It was a dreadful risk you took, child." "I didn't think about that," murmured Jinnie, closing her eyes. "No, I suppose not. Your heart's too tender to let anything be abused.... Is the cat dead?"
The next morning Drusilla was at breakfast when she heard the chug-chug of a motor. Mrs. Carrington's card was brought in; but before she could say to William that she would see her visitor, the happy laughing face of Mrs. Carrington looked in at the door. "May I come in? I am sure you will see me." Drusilla rose with a smile on her sweet old face, and extended her hand. "Yes, do.
