I hope nobody else will want to join us!" "Babbie Williams is to be a day-girl this term. She lives over there at The Warren." "We haven't room for her." "She's going in their own car." "That's good news for the sardines! I was thinking some of us would have to ride on the footboard or the luggage-carrier. Is Babbie fair, with bobbed hair? Then I've seen her in church. Seven of us from Chagmouth!
With that the stage started and their fears subsided somewhat. On the box Smith was looking sharply at the doctor. Then he asked: "Can you drive better than you can shoot, or shoot better than you can drive?" "I guess it's about a stand-off," replied the doctor without a ripple of excitement; "but I was brought up with four mules." Without another word Smith stood on the footboard, and Dr.
Besides, a man in an emergency must do something, if only to justify his claim to manliness especially when a lady is looking on at his efforts. So Cyril Waring had toiled and moiled in that deadly atmosphere for some hours in vain, and now sat, wearied out and faint from foul vapours, by Elma's side on the damp, cold footboard. By this time the air had almost failed them.
Joy beckoned to her, and she slipped out of bed, flinging around her a blue kimono that lay across the footboard and setting her feet noiselessly in slippers as she came out with the swift, gliding step that was characteristic of her.
She thought that on retiring she must touch nothing with her hands, after she had washed them, until she touched the inside of the sheets. In case she failed she must return and wash the hands again.

And when he had all their valuables he laid them on the footboard, and then, as we passed some Bedouin tents, he kicked them off. But he seems an honest fellow, for he gave them back some small change to buy food with, should any be obtainable."
If business worried him, if Stephen was noisy or Ansell perverse, there still remained this paradise of books. It seemed as if he had read nothing for two years. Then the train stopped for the shunting, and he heard protests from minor officials who were working on the line. They complained that some one who didn't ought to, had mounted on the footboard of the carriage.
He screws the lid down and presently makes his way along the footboard to the next compartment. An athlete in good condition could do that; in fact, a sailor has done it in a drunken freak more than once. Mind you, I don't say that murder was intended in the first instance; but will presume that there was a struggle. The thief probably lost his temper, and perhaps Mr. Skidmore irritated him.
Grimstone down from the footboard and mounted it himself; after which he began to rummage about under the seats with the Doctor's heavy stick. Every lunge found out some tender part in Mr. Bultitude's person and caused him exquisite torture; but he clenched his teeth hard to prevent a sound, while he thought each fresh dig must betray his whereabouts.
Do you mind my telling you about it?" She stood leaning against the footboard of the bed, not even deigning to raise her eyes in reply. So he made the slightest stir in his chair; and then she looked up quickly enough, pistol poised. "The steamer," said Kerns slowly, "was coming into Southampton six years ago.
