The machine began a quivering vibration that continued throughout the flight, and the roof areas seemed running away to starboard very quickly and growing rapidly smaller. He looked from the face of the engineer through the ribs of the machine. Looking sideways, there was nothing very startling in what he saw a rapid funicular railway might have given the same sensations.
He saw a large room, some seventy feet long, filled with a miscellaneous foreign crowd South Germans, Austrians, Russians, Italians seated in groups round small tables, smoking, playing cards or dominoes, reading the day's newspapers which the funicular had just brought up, or lazily listening to the moderately good band which was playing some Rheingold selection at the farther end.
"So does my Hilda Rose," and Clary's little fair head peered over the top banister. "Come along then!" recklessly shouted the boys. "Can't you get aboard the funicular yourself and start your journey?" "What sillies girls are; just like women, always expecting somebody to hand them in and hand them out!" grumbled Mark, who, being the guard, felt bound to go up and start the lady passenger.
Presently, the boys were tasting the fearful joy of precipitating themselves down the slippery route, which they grandly called the funicular. The journeys were accompanied by a good deal of uproar, but the green baize swing-door shut off the sound from the ears of Euphemia and Mary Jane in the kitchen. So the noisy crew had it all their own way.
MÜRREN, 5,368 feet above the sea, seems to me to be one of the very best centres for beginners as they receive so much help, and there are numbers of short runs aided by the Allmendhubel funicular which runs up some 700 feet above the village. From the top of this several short runs end in the village or on the Berner Oberland Railway, which brings the tired novice home without much effort.
"I do, indeed, but can't we go up by a funicular and come down this way?" he compromised. "My Boston calves protest." "Oh well, we can go by the level a little farther, but I thought you liked the 'flavor of the foreign. Anyway, we ought to see Earl Cummings' old man," I remembered.
At lunch Denry related the exact circumstances to a delighted table, and the exact circumstances soon reached the Clutterbuck faction at the Métropole. If murderous thoughts could kill, Denry would have lain dead. But he survived to go with about half the Beau-Site guests to the funicular station to wish the Clutterbucks a pleasant journey.
If Vanno's cousin lived in that hotel, which could be reached only by a funicular or a picturesque mule path, it looked as if she had a wish for retirement. The priest would have liked to know if she had been at the Annonciata ever since her visit to him. Prince Della Robbia had not mentioned her, on New Year's Day, but that was no sure argument of his ignorance.
I have a clear little picture in my mind of an excursion we made to that huge national Denkmal which rears its head out of the amiable vineyards of Assmannshausen and Rudesheim over against Bingen. We landed at the former place, went up its little funicular to eat our lunch and drink its red wine at the pleasant inn above, and then strolled along through the woods to the monument.
For the first time she hesitated, and lowered her eyes. "I believe our wishes are identical," she said. "No need to trouble about mine. You can put them out of court altogether." His tone spurred her to instant decision. "My wish is to go back to Zermatt at once, by the funicular; and . . . that we should not see one another again. I will accept nothing from you.
