They found Dromedary in the paddock, and thanked him, and Carter left Dolly with him, while he ran to collect his winnings. When he returned, he showed her a sheaf of yellow bills, and as they ran down the covered board walk to the gate, they skipped and danced. Dolly turned toward the train drawn up at the entrance. "Not with me!" shouted Carter.
Each one of the adventurers was fastened to the parasol with ropes of different length so that none of them bumped together, but even with all the care in the world it was not possible to keep them from bumping the sides of the tube. The Comfortable Camel grunted plaintively from time to time, and Dorothy could hear the Doubtful Dromedary complaining bitterly in the darkness.
"If only," she exclaimed, "we had that three thousand dollars back again! I'd save SO carefully. It was all my fault. The races took it, but it was I took you to the races." "No one ever had to drag ME to the races," said Carter. "It was the way we went that was extravagant. Automobiles by the hour standing idle, and a box each day, and " "And always backing Dromedary," suggested Dolly.
So shall they seem more pious to you all, pretending that they alone have seen the gods. Fools shall believe them and share in their damnation. You anger the gods. ILLANAUN I am not sure whom I anger. OORANDER It may be they are the gods. ILLANAUN Where are these men from Marma? CITIZEN Here are the dromedary men, they are coming now. AGMAR The men are doubters. How the gods hate the word!
The dromedary, which had bolted in the Desert, was brought into Suez the day after my arrival, but my pelisse and my pistols, which had been attached to the saddle, had disappeared. These articles were treasures of great importance to me at that time, and I moved the Governor of the town to make all possible exertions for their recovery.
In the great Zoological Gardens we found specimens of all the animals the world produces, I think, including a dromedary, a monkey ornamented with tufts of brilliant blue and carmine hair a very gorgeous monkey he was a hippopotamus from the Nile, and a sort of tall, long-legged bird with a beak like a powder horn and close-fitting wings like the tails of a dress coat.
"But why not more succinctly state that the Escurial is not a dromedary, although there are many flies in France? For what on earth has Jack to do with crucial points and July mornings?" "Why, I suppose, I only made bold to introduce his name for the sake of an illustration, Rudolph.
Never releasing the fishbone for an instant, Gipsy laid back his ears in a chilling way, beginning to shrink into himself like a concertina, but rising amidships so high that he appeared to be giving an imitation of that peaceful beast, the dromedary.
"Not for worlds," said Rollo; "I mean, the word isn't really camel; we were rotting. Pretend it's dromedary!" he whispered to the others. "I heard them say 'dromedary'! I heard them. I don't care what you say; I heard them," squealed the odious Dolores. "With ears as long as hers one would hear anything," thought Rollo savagely.
So, when the fourth race started he rose and raised his hat. "The time has come," he said. Without looking at him, Dolly nodded. She was far too tremulous to speak. For several weeks Dromedary had not been placed, and Carter hoped for odds of at least ten to one.
