Sister Hyacinthe and Sister Claire des Anges, however, had begun to install themselves, pending the arrival of their charges, and as Gerard just then brought up M.

"Yes," he says, "and for all I care, the whole damned island may sink in the sea, and stay there, with nothing but coconuts and my old accordion to mark the place and maybe one of the wheels of that bloody handcart." I was still knocked silly. "But, Doc," I says, "you can't have enough to pay your passage." Then he laughs. "A hundred and seventy-five ain't much out of two thousand," he says.
A very old priest, too feeble to walk, was trundled by two young priests in a handcart. A young woman, an expectant mother, was tenderly and anxiously helped on by her husband. One of the saddest features of all this dreadful procession was the soldiers, many of them wounded, and so bent with fatigue from many days of marching and fighting that they could hardly raise their feet.
He had wandered to England in search of fortune, like other itinerants, and had embarked, with a partner and a small green handcart, on the sale of penny ices.

Pierre and Jacques stand stolidly, their hands behind their backs. What is the wonderful sight that has bewildered all three? A pedlar's cart, a handcart; they had seen it stop in the village street.
It qualifies equally the expression of hate or the speech of affection; and the term ingwa, or innen, meaning karma as inevitable retribution, comes naturally to every lip as an interpretation, as a consolation, or as a reproach. The peasant toiling up some steep road, and feeling the weight of his handcart straining every muscle, murmurs patiently: "Since this is ingwa, it must be suffered."
