Cecil represented that Rosamond ought to stay and receive her bridal visits; but she was unpersuadable. "Oh no! I leave all that for you! My time will come when I get into the Rectory. We are going in the dog-cart to the other end of the parish. What's its name Squattlesea Marsh, Julius?" "Squattlesford!" said Charlie. "If Julius means to drive you, look out for your neck!"
How different they were from the kind bicycler, or the gentleman in the dog-cart, or either one of the farm-wives who sorrowed so civilly not to know where my lost battle-field was!
"You can leave at this unearthly hour if you wish, and travel with us as far as Paddington." I nodded, and went after my great-coat. Of course I had not the slightest intention of leaving them at Paddington; but I felt that the time had not arrived to say so. "Here comes the dog-cart," said Charles, as I returned. Ralph was already on his feet.
Sheldon for the refinement in her taste. Her views of life in general had expanded under Mr. Sheldon's influence. She no longer thought a high-wheeled dog-cart and a skittish mare the acme of earthly splendour; for she had a carriage and pair at her service, and a smart little page-boy to leap off the box in attendance on her when she paid visits or went shopping.
"I am sorry that I am obliged to leave you this afternoon, my dear, but I have promised to attend a committee meeting at four o'clock. You will be glad to rest after your journey, and to unpack and get your things put neatly away." "Has Elma come home?" "She returned yesterday morning.

Next morning, as he was driving to the office, an old woman threw a packet into his dog-cart. In the packet was the half of a broken glass bangle, one flower of the blood red dhak, a pinch of bhusa or cattle-food, and eleven cardamoms. That packet was a letter not a clumsy compromising letter, but an innocent, unintelligible lover's epistle.
He had not seen Jerrie since he took her home in his dog-cart, and his face was scarlet and his manner nervous and constrained as he stood before her, longing and yet not daring to fan her with his hat just as Tom was doing.
Breakfast was early, as Mark had to be down at St. Peter's as soon after morning chapel as possible, and he came down shivering to find his uncle already seated. 'The dog-cart will be round in five minutes, said the latter gentleman, with his mouth full; 'so make the most of your time. You'll have a cold drive. I'll take you over to the station myself, and go on and see Ferret after.
Jameson brings his special nurse for the the operation, but the other one is due at five, and you get her just the same. I told Henry to put up the dog-cart. I don't know, though maybe the runabout no, the tire's loose. Still, it might do " "For heaven's sake, Peter, don't bother about it! I'll find a rig. What else does he say?" "He says there's a good fighting chance a very good one.
Even the sound of approaching wheels failed to stir any interest in us. When you are bent on throwing stones at something, humanity seems obtrusive and better away.
