'It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. The ox, with the yoke on his neck, lashes out with his obstinate heels against the driver's goad. He does not break the goad, but only embrues his own limbs. Do not you do that! II. And now, once more, let me ask you to look at the compassion which goes with our Lord's anger here; 'being grieved at the hardness of their hearts.
Blair absently, her mind occupied by her young daughter's large sophistication. "Johnny," said Ruth. She leaned half out the window as the red roadster shot thunderously across the rustic bridge and brought up sharply on the driveway below. With a shouted greeting she brought the driver's red-blonde head to attention. "Hullo where's the Bob?" Johnny grinned.
As always, he hated these enforced trades and spoke in a peremptory way, wanting to get the matter finished. "You, suh " the solid citizen turned his horse to face the scout "what gives you the right to take that mule?" With a visible sigh of relief, the Negro relaxed on the driver's seat, willing to let the other carry on the argument. "Nothing, except I have to have a mount I can depend upon."
When the boy saw her he felt a strange anxiety. It was as though he wanted to weep. For the first time he was a bit uneasy because he had shut himself out from the human kind. Shortly after that he walked by a shop. Outside the shop stood a red corn-drill. He stopped and looked at it; and finally crawled up to the driver's place, and seated himself.
There he had lain, out of the way, except when some dram-drinking driver's heavy cowhide boots had made a doormat of his yielding body not an unusual occurrence, by the way, at the roadside taverns frequented by the lower classes.
Generally Monty, whose duty it was to bury them, would sit on the driver's seat and ride to the cemetery, after persuading Doe and me to ride with him. On a certain September evening Monty glanced at the Camp Commandant's "chit," and read it aloud to us: "'Seven bodies for burial at 1700. Are you coming?" Doe turned towards me. "Coming, Rupert?" "No. I'm too tired." "Oh, rot, you scrimshanker.
I stood up against the hedge, and in a minute or two a fly passed me going slowly. I saw the driver's face. It wasn't a man from Inley. Evidently the fly had come from a distance. It was splashed with mud, and the horse looked tired. I followed it till it came to the turning just below Miss Bassett's cottage, where there's a narrow lane going to Charfield through the woods.
"Only, she won't go." He waited, watching Foster's face. Foster chewed a corner of his lip worriedly. "Well, what do you make of it?" His tone was helpless. Bud threw out his two hands expressively, and shook his head. He let down the hood, climbed in, slid into the driver's seat, and went through the operation of starting. Only, he didn't start.
It is true that by the easy locomotion of a journey of this kind, a much better view of the surrounding country is afforded, and the traveler finds ample opportunities to admire the beauty of nature everywhere spread before him; but even that palls upon the eye when the journey is protracted from early morn until midnight, and the traveler is cramped up in an uncomfortable position upon the driver's box.
By Gad, we couldn't!" The driver's words came with a sudden outburst of passion. If half the silent curses he was hurling at the head of the venomous Smallbones at that moment took effect, the man would surely have then and there been blotted out of the history of Barnriff. Jim had no more to say, and the other had no power to frame the thoughts which filled his mind.
