When the door opened he had had a good view of the inside of the room, of a slave cranking the handle on a crude collection of junk that could only have been a generator. Thick wires looped across the room from the thing to a man who stood before some blades of copper pushing at them with a wooden stick, while above his head fat sparks leaped the gap between two brassy spheres.
Likely the second man he saw cranking the car. It struck the tree. Johnny and I made a compact not to speak of it and I forgot. My aunt is fussy." "Where were you?" demanded Philip abruptly.

By the time we succeeded in starting the engine, after cranking for nearly half an hour, I was so consumed by wrath over the scurvy trick she had played upon us that I swore she should not enter my castle if I could prevent it; moreover, I would take fiendish delight in dumping her confounded luggage into the Danube.

She was all energy, helping Felicity with her veil, settling her own hat, kissing Mary, and cranking the runabout an operation she would not allow Stefan to attempt for her with her usual effervescent efficiency. "I'd no idea it was so late!" she exclaimed.
Pretty soon the troops began to arrive lancers and a battery of artillery and a company of the royal body-guard in red coats and after them came the guests: officials and dignitaries in all sorts of gorgeous uniforms covered with decorations.

"What is it?" she called back gaily. "I just said hiyer?" "Fine! Hiyer, yourself?" she laughed pleasantly, although stopping the engine entailed getting out and cranking, since her car boasted no self-starter.
