In the middle of the night Mr. and Mrs. Brown were awakened by hearing the noise of many persons rushing past on the road alongside of which their automobile was drawn up. Also the chugging of automobiles and the patter of horses' feet could be heard. "I wonder what it can be," said Mrs. Brown. "Is it the circus coming back again?" "No, they would be going the other way.
"He wouldn't care if we got in and didn't start anything but the engine," said Richard. "Climb in and play that I'm running away with you. With the motor chugging away and shaking the machine it'll seem as if we're really going." By this time they were inside the garage, with the doors closed behind them.
As it was, fragments of bark, twigs, and leaves showered about them. The whistling of the bullets and their chugging as they struck the trees made a continuous sinister note. The Union men were not silent under this fire.
One afternoon we were chugging along in our Red Cross ambulance coming down from the first aid posts where we had been talking to some American Ambulance boys on the French Front, when we noticed the arrives were landing regularly so we knew that the Germans were after something in the neighbourhood perhaps a big gun, perhaps an ammunition dump.
The work was practically over for the day at four o'clock and the actors in their costumes especially the Indians, including Wonota and her father made a brilliant picture as they wandered about the lawns and in and out of the several bungalows on the island. From the direction of Chippewa Bay appeared a chugging motor-launch that came directly to the dock.
Johnson; saw the doctor's car go chugging hurriedly in the garage, and then my spirit turned itself to the wall and refused to be comforted. I tried my best, but failed to respond to my own remonstrances with myself, and tears were slowly gathering in a cloud of gloom when a blue gingham, romper-clad sunbeam burst into the room.
"Do the broken silver chains in your coat of arms represent mercy or weakness?" she asked. "Both, probably," he answered grimly, as he caught the sound of an automobile chugging in the courtyard. Feeling sure that it was Nina's car, he slipped his arm through Favorita's to urge her forward, whereupon she grew suspicious and lagged purposely.
I never saw an electric car yet that could do anything except to crawl along." "You're going to see one now," was all the retort Tom permitted himself. "Here we go then!" cried the man, and he gave his gear handle a yank, and shoved over the sparking and gasolene levers. His car instantly shot ahead, and went "chug chugging" down the road in a cloud of dust.
It was as if she had taken him for granted and was waiting for his compliance to her will. And he understood. He moved the starter, and, as the motor began its chugging, he called out to the man in the doorway: "Better not wait for me. I seem to have a date with a lady." There was an unpleasant intonation on the last word.
Vane nodded to the gas officer and got on board the little tractor which was to take him to the front trenches. Chugging along through screen after screen of brown camouflage which hid the little railway line from the watchful gaze of Kemmel, he seemed to be passing through some mysterious land. By day it was hideous enough; but in the dusk the flat dullness of it was transfigured.
