'Why, where are your officers? asked Master Stickles; 'how is it that you have no officers? Upon this there arose a general grin, and a knowing look passed along their faces, even up to the man by the gatepost. 'Are you going to tell me, or not, said Jeremy, 'what is become of your officers?
Clark shut up without even trailing off into mumbling to himself, as was his habit when argument brought him defeat. "Where is the delightful Mr. Good Indian off to?" Evadna stopped drumming upon the gatepost and turned toward the person she heard coming up behind her, who happened to be Gene.
He saw the horse stagger in the gate-way, crushing its rider up against the gatepost. He ran, but before he reached the gate the lady was on foot, holding the plunging horse's bridle. "Are you hurt?" cried Shelton breathlessly, and he, too, grabbed the bridle. "Those beastly cars!" "I don't know," she said. "Please don't; he won't let strangers touch him."

As we neared the girl on the gatepost Dickie gave her a careless glance. She certainly deserved better. There was the sifting sunshine in her hair and there were her white, rounded arms reaching up to pull down a fruit-laden branch.
Who shall say how far my lady and the Court were responsible for the lampoon affixed one day to my Lord Clarendon's gatepost: Three sights to be seen: Dunkirk, Tangier, and a barren queen. Her ladyship might well have considered the unpopularity of the Chancellor as the crown of her triumph, had this triumph been as stable as she could have wished.
"Jeddediah Jodkins!" said Eph, as he swung an eccentric curve about the gatepost; "do you whoa! suppose I'm such a whoa! whoa! fool that I don't know that I'm not riding whoa! in a whoa! whoa! wagon?"
