And here's a bum little furniture store it wouldn't cost more 'n about ten times all I've got to buy one of those Morris chairs. Oh Gooooooosh, won't these houses ever stop? Say, that must be a jitney. The driver snickered at me. Will the whole town be onto me? Milt, you're a kind young fellow, and you know what's the matter with Heinie's differential, but they don't need you here.
But about this bank robbin' business. You can't exactly say that I robbed a bank. That money was the enemy's resources, an' I just nicked their resources. That's war. That ain't robbery. I ain't takin' it for myself it's for the cause the cause o' poor, bleedin' Mexico," and Billy grinned a large grin. "You took it for Pesita?" asked Bridge. "Of course," replied Billy. "I won't get a jitney of it.
He had a box at the Grand Opera, and Ruth loved to go, but she liked lighter music also. This was not told complainingly, but transpired in the course of a conversation at which Fibsy chanced to be present. "Gee!" he said, looking at Ruth commiseratingly, "ain't you never heard 'The Jitney Girl' or 'The Prince of Peoria'?" Ruth shook her head, smiling at the boy's amazement.
The little hamlet nestling in its wooded valley was destined to review such a procession of Pierce-Arrows, and Packards, and Cadillacs, aye and Fords and jitney busses, as it had never dreamed of in all its humble career.

"Maybe he thinks that's a life sentence," says I. "Chuck me that Pathfinder from the case behind you, will you? Now let's see. Here we are, page 937 Coffee Creek, Pa. Inhabitants 1,500. Flag station on the Lackawanna below Wilkes-Barre. That's in the Susquehanna valley. Must be a coal town. Chicago limited wouldn't stop there. But we can probably catch a jitney or something from Wilkes-Barre.
"Men," called Tom striding over to the little party of rodmen, "tell me where the nearest physician is to be found." "Doe Jitney, at Bear's Cave," replied one of the men. "How far is that?" "Fourteen miles, by the trail." "Get on to a pony, then, and go after Dr. Gitney. Bring him here and tell him we'll want him here for the present.
Hammond took note of this and wished that Ruth Fielding and her party had returned, a snorting automobile rattled along the shell road and halted near the camp.

The chauffeur ran his jitney from the railroad station and was known to Mr. Hammond. The latter went nearer.
Came in a jitney or I could have got to him on the way over." Barnes, regardless of consequences, dashed over to inspect the register. Sprouse followed leisurely, shooting anxious glances up the stairs at the end of the lobby. "See!" cried Barnes, excitedly, putting his finger on the name "Miss Jones." "She's in room 32, next to his. By gad, Sprouse, do you suppose he knows that she is here?
Next day the argument was forgotten in the air of rising excitement as embarkation orders for the Lancet came through. Preparations were completed, and only last-minute double-checks were required before blast-off. But an hour before count-down began, a jitney buzzed across the field, and a Two-star Pathologist climbed aboard with his three black-cloaked orderlies.
