He had wandered about it gazing at the pretty colored garments, entranced by the life and movement about him, until the big iron gates were closed. Then he went out upon the thoroughfare, glad to brush shoulders with the home-goers, glad to feel one with them in the brilliant pageant of the living. And always he searched for the face he had met twice that day.
These came to Kaskaskia to join our home-goers, and no sooner had the hundred marched out of the gate and taken up their way for Kentucky than Colonel Clark began the drilling of the new troops. Captain Leonard Helm was sent to take charge of Vincennes, and Captain Montgomery set out across the mountains for Williamsburg with letters praying the governor of Virginia to come to our assistance.
There was a crowd of home-goers at Brown Borough Church, and each 'bus as it arrived was like the angel troubling the waters of Bethesda. There was no hope for the old or timid. Kew was an expert in the small sciences of London.
They emerged from the hotel upon the noisy street, still lively with the rush of home-goers; and now the two men stood side by side before the waiting carriage, and Varney's flow of talk had ceased. From the square there came the shouts of many lingerers, making merry in the tail of the great day according to their desire.
Julia, out in the street again and enjoying, as she always did enjoy, the sense of being a busy householder, facing the tide of home-goers, would perhaps have an errand in the damp depth of the big milk depot, would get chops or sausages at some small shop, or stop a fruit cart, driving by in the dimness, for apples or oranges.

And Isabelle could see the dull, large-framed man, his head slightly bent, plodding forward in the stream of home-goers on the pavement, suddenly lift his head, and without a moment's hesitation step out into the path of danger.... When Isabelle and John left the house late in the evening, he said gravely, "The doctors don't think there is much chance for him." "He will die!"
I know what's your trouble, Doc, just like you had told me yourself." "Ah? What, Mr. Klinker?" "Exercise." "You mean lack of exercise?" "I mean," said Klinker, "that you're fadin' out fast for the need of it." The two men pushed on up Centre Street, where the march of home-goers was now beginning to thin out, in a moment of silence.
It seemed to me to be a very much over-crowded boat in which to put to sea, but we floated out into the current, with all the faces toward the shore, and hats and handkerchiefs waving goodbye to those who had come down to see the home-goers safely off.
Myra did not move, but a shock of horror went through her. The two other young men in the doorway came forward, and home-goers paused, drew close, looked on curiously and silently. One nudged another. "What's up?" "Don't know!" The thug muttered under his breath: "Pull her up by her hair; we'll run her in!" But Rhona had scrambled to her feet. She was too wild to cry or speak.
