The car proceeded, the conductor commenting freely and loudly, and the passengers on the broad grin. "Now, Daniel," said Serena, "you get one of those carriages and we'll go as we ought to. I know we've always gone in the electrics when we were in Boston, but then we didn't feel as if we could afford anything else. Now we can. And don't stop to bargain about the fare.
The strain could no longer be borne of one huge vessel consuming 500 tons of coal in twenty-four hours, and those blessed electrics were not introduced a moment too soon.
They reminded one of two sombre, bumping electrics, rolling about with no visible means of locomotion, always running out of power and lying beached in some inconvenient spot until they received a check or a suggestion from Cressy.
J says that old ladies in the seventies, driving electrics, are the worst menace to life that we have. When our four-score years and ten have been lived probably a few extra for good measure an end must come, but a California funeral is so different! A Los Angeles paper advertises "Perfect Funerals at Trust Prices."

It was nearly dark now, but Joe switched on the electrics in the motor boat, and aboard the steamer lights began to gleam. "Well!" exclaimed Cora, with her usual spirit. "I'm not going to stay here and miss everything. I want to see mother just as much as Jack does." She was as yet unaware, you see, of what the sailor had said to her brother.
There were double windows on all round the piazzas; a mellow glow from the incandescent electrics penetrated to the outer dusk from them; when the door was opened to Northwick, a pleasant heat gushed out, together with the perfume of flowers, and the odors of dinner.
