On the other side, when a traveller and his horse are in heart and plight, when his purse is full and the day before him, he takes the road only where it is clean or convenient, entertains his company there as agreeably as he can, but upon the first occasion carries them along with him to every delightful scene in view, whether of art, of Nature, or of both; and if they chance to refuse out of stupidity or weariness, let them jog on by themselves, and be d n'd.
I was comfortable and safe, so far as I knew; but the hours were long ones, and I prayed Time to jog on his team a little faster, if convenient. By-and-by, the merriment grew louder; there was a pattering of eager feet on the garret stairs, considerable loud whispering in the passage, and an infinite amount of giggling. Good heavens! What were they going to do?
"They jog on very well now," said the woman; "but I have heard my husband say that it was not always so, and that the Welsh, in old times, were a violent and ferocious people, for that once they hanged the mayor of Chester." "Ha, ha!" said the preacher, and his eyes flashed in the moonlight; "he told you that, did he?"
Undoubtedly there were voices somewhere ahead, though he could distinguish no word that was spoken. "As I haven't seen an enemy yet, I'm going to do so if I can," the young captain instantly resolved. Stepping to the end of the traverse, he peered around the jog. That next length of trench appeared to be deserted, yet certainly the voices sounded nearer. "I've got to have that look!"
He subscribed one dollar a year to the civil-service reform journal, and invariably voted on Election Day for the best men, cutting out in advance the names of the candidates favored by the Law and Order League of his native city, and carrying them to the polls in order to jog his memory.
Hang it! don't you think yes, certainly, hang it!" "Ah! that's right, I like to see you angry. You are a trifle jealous, dear oh! that is too bad; I asked you for the big black one, and you have gone and eaten it." "I am sorry, dear; I quite forgot about it." "It was the same at the Town Hall, where I was obliged to jog your elbow to make you answer 'Yes' to the Mayor's kind words." "Kind!"
As the sun declined, walked out to view the wonders of Canton; and although it was Sunday, found the streets thronged with coolies carrying heavy burdens of merchandise, slung on bamboos resting on their shoulders, plying backwards and forwards on their different errands, in a jog trot, with a loud grunt; the grunt as much to relieve them, as to give warning to those in their way.
You'll find it on our section." "Good! Come along Teddy." "Will I? That's where I'll spend my money," nodded Teddy, starting away at a jog trot. "And your nights too, if they would let you," laughed Phil, following his companion at a more leisurely gait. As they crossed the lot they passed "Red" Larry, as he had now been nicknamed by the showmen.
What with this diversion, and eating his cheese, and helping himself from an inexhaustible junk bottle, and smoking his pipe, and meditating, this crack-pated grocer made time jog along with him at a tolerably easy pace.
Your husband is an excellent person, Mary, but I am afraid he is somewhat prejudiced. 'You do him justice, Peter, in saying that he is an excellent person, sail the woman; 'as to being prejudiced, I scarcely know what to say, but he thinks that two languages in the same kingdom are almost as bad as two kings. 'That's no bad observation, said the preacher, 'and it is generally the case; yet, thank God, the Welsh and English go on very well, side by side, and I hope will do so till the Almighty calls all men to their long account. 'They jog on very well now, said the woman; 'but I have heard my husband say that it was not always so, and that the Welsh, in old times, were a violent and ferocious people, for that once they hanged the mayor of Chester. 'Ha, ha! said the preacher, and his eyes flashed in the moonlight; 'he told you that, did he? 'Yes, said Mary; 'once, when the mayor of Chester, with some of his people, was present at one of the fairs over the border, a quarrel arose between the Welsh and the English, and the Welsh beat the English, and hanged the mayor. 'Your husband is a clever man, said Peter, 'and knows a great deal; did he tell you the name of the leader of the Welsh?
