By this time the other coaches had been filled, the word was given, and the party started off amidst cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. It was for the time as if a fresh breeze had suddenly sprung up, giving new life to the town through which they passed. "Can't you turn into a by-road soon," said one; and "O, please do, it is excruciating going over these cobble-stones," said others.
Let me take you to the Inn, Marie. It " "No! I may not accept M'sieur's thoughtful invitation. Bon soir, M'sieur." She was off like a flash. Robin leaped nimbly into the cab. "Pingari's, driver!" he said, his heart thumping once more. "Very good, sir," and they were off at a lively rate, rattling quite gaily over the cobble-stones. Pingari's is the jumping-off place.
An omnibus, emblazoned with strange pictures, went tumbling over the dislocated cobble-stones. "How will you go home?" Morris asked, following this vehicle with an interested eye. Mrs. Penniman had taken his arm. She hesitated a moment. "I think this manner would be pleasant," she said; and she continued to let him feel the value of his support.

"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse." or, what would suit me equally as well, a short piece of smooth road in lieu of break-neck cobble-stones.
As they rattled and bounced over the cobble-stones in a taxi-metre on the way to the Place Vendome, he devoted the whole of his conversation to the delicious breakfast they were to have, expatiating glibly on the wonderful berries that would come first in that always-to-be-remembered meal.
