The teams, however, went on, and came out, frantic with fear, on the farther side. The men who led them afterwards wondered how they kept their grip on the horses' heads. Then it was that while the machines swung round and other men ran to help, Winston, springing from the driving-seat, found Dane amid the swaying, plunging medley of beasts and men.
I gladly set my lover free, and at the next minute he was on his knees in the snow and his trembling hands removed wrap after wrap from the beloved head, Kubbeling helping him from the driving-seat with his great hands, purpled by the cold.

Lavender regarded him for a moment in silence; then putting his hand to his throat, said hoarsely: "No, on my chest, I think, Joe. All public speakers do. It is inseparable from that great calling."

I asked, after he'd finished his job of bailing ditch-water into his car-radiator with a little collapsible canvas bucket. He climbed into his driving-seat, mud to the knees, before he answered me. "I'm going to get Hyacinthe out of this hole," was what he said.
