My friend here who is spilling the water all over the machine and the small boy, once owned a horse, it kicked over the dash-board, missed his mother-in-law and hit him; horse's intention good, but aim bad, since then he has been prejudiced against horses; it goes by gasoline sometimes; that is not a boiler, it is the cooler on hot days we take turns sitting on it; explosions, electric spark, yes, it is queer; man at last stop made same bright remark; no danger from explosions if you are not too near, about a block away is safer; start by turning a crank; yes, that is queer, queerer than the other queer things; cylinder does get hot, but so do we all at times; we ought to have water jackets that is a joke that goes with the machine; yes, it is very fast, from fifty to seventy miles per ; 'per what? you say; well, that depends upon the roads, not at all, I assure you, no trouble to anticipate your inquiries by these answers it is so seldom one meets any one who is really interested you can order a machine by telegraph; any more information you would like?
As an additional precaution, Burt passed the strap around the bird's neck and tied him to the dash-board. Even with his heavy gloves he had to act cautiously, for the eagle in his disabled state could still strike a powerful blow. Then, with an exultation beyond all words, he drove to Dr. Marvin's, in order to have one of the "loudest crows" over him that he had ever enjoyed.
He stared straight ahead at the tossing manes of the horses, their galloping bodies, three abreast, plunging and straining in the harness; the reins knotted to the dash-board; the dark, winding road bordered by snow-drifts; the lights in the distance looming nearer, and the bulk of the station. His eyes were shining under the bandage, wide-open beneath the brows.
"There now, faith, and wasn't I nearly done for myself?" he exclaimed, as a jolt threw him from his seat, nearly over the dash-board. We passed through the town bearing the names of Niagara Falls and Manchester, an agglomeration of tea-gardens, curiosity-shops, and monster hotels, with domes of shining tin.
Doctor John threw the lines across the dash-board, jumped from the gig, and pushing open the hall door it was never locked stepped quickly into his office, and turning up the lamp, threw himself into a chair at his desk. The sorrel made no attempt to go to the stable both horse and man were accustomed to delays sometimes of long hours and sometimes of whole nights.
Fifteen minutes later we were bowling down the lane behind the fastest pair of horses in the Gaylord stables, and through the prettiest country in the State of Virginia. Terry sat with his hands in his pockets and his eyes on the dash-board. As we came to the four corners at the valley-pike I reined in.
Annie stood at the door, where he spoke with his hand on the dash-board of his buggy before getting into it. She answered with one of those impulses that come from something deeper than intention. "I will send for you, then to tell you how generous you are," and in the look with which she spoke she uttered the full meaning that her words withheld.
But no! Fairy-foot was a handful, even for so capital a whip as Briscoe. He obviously considered that the boy would be more secure stowed on the floor of the vehicle, half under the soft rug, and braced by the firm foot planted on either side against the dash-board. "How considerate!" the watching mother thought with a glow of gratitude, noting the caution.
It might be in Dock Square or State Street, or it might be on the farm, just as all were starting out. It was not over pleasant to be near her when she flung those long hind legs some six feet in air, and the dash-board was flying in pieces. The "General," with some others, was about to take a ride one day, when she put a hind foot over the dasher, which caused him to dismount precipitately.
The man wore a grey suit, too short in the trousers at least they appeared so as he sat with his knees wide apart, and the toe of one heavy boot partly projecting at the side of the dash-board. A much-worn straw hat was drawn over his eyes, and he held a short whip in his red hand. He did not press his horse, but allowed the lazy animal to go jog-trot at his own pace.
