"Jade," said Ah Cum. She turned away from the doorway of the silk loom to observe. Pole coolies came joggling along with bobbing blocks of jade white jade, splashed and veined with translucent emerald green. "On the way to the cutters," said Ah Cum. "But we must be getting along if we are to lunch in the tower of the water-clock."
A trip, I assure you, that not many men would have been capable of. For it did not by any means end with the Coupée. When he got to bed of a night, and fell asleep at last, he was still crossing the Coupée with his joggling lantern all night long, and suffered things in dreams compared with which even his actual experiences were but holiday jaunts.
She could scarcely voice the word; for, in fact, the pressure of his hands seemed to send those horrible weights joggling worse than ever, seemed to intensify the uneasiness in her throat though she wouldn't for worlds let Mr. Briggs think her unappreciative of his kindness. The too-kind hands stroked maddeningly on. "Feel better now?" "Yes," she gasped. Things, suddenly, seemed going black.
Seated on the cross-piece of a joggling two-wheeled ox cart, moving at the rate of not more than four miles an hour, with a dumb specimen for a driver, and a volume of Baedeker for interpreter and guide, we got our first glimpse of the hideous thing called war. Judging from the looks of the country and the burning villages, we were on the heels of a devastating army.
For days I had been on the trail, or, rather, off it, for there were no trails in the high country through which I was traveling, excepting those made by game. I was hungry. The region lacked charm. It is difficult for a boy to appreciate scenery on a two-day-old empty stomach, which he has been urging up mountains and joggling down valleys.
"Well, then, Cally, have one more sardine, please. Nothing on earth for the complexion like these fat saline fellows that mother catches fresh every morning with her little hook and line. Mind, Loo! You're joggling The Bowl." Carlisle was hardly to be overwhelmed by the Cooneys' teasing, nor perhaps was she seriously displeased by it.
As I turned the corner, around a frame house, there was a great rattle and jar, and it occurred to me that here was an item! no doubt a fight in that house. Before I could turn and seek the door, there came a really terrific shock; the ground seemed to roll under me in waves, interrupted by a violent joggling up and down, and there was a heavy grinding noise as of brick houses rubbing together.
"Huh!" grumbled Ted, "he stuck it out for me to tumble over both times and you know this train is joggling some." "Ill say so," agreed Bob. But Betty had jumped up to look and she said eagerly: "Do you mean the man with the silk handkerchief over his head? He must be asleep, or trying to sleep." "I tell you he is just a fresh kid," said Tommy Tucker. "And I'm going to fix him."
But I don't feel as though you and I were really never to see each other again for years. Do you?" I thought. "No," I said. "After we've parted I shall look to talk it over with you." "So shall I." "That's absurd." "Absurd." "I feel as if you'd always be there, just about where you are now. Invisible perhaps, but there. We've spent so much of our lives joggling elbows."... "Yes. Yes.
The Doctor and the Sénéchal, flat in the heather, saw the lantern issue from the Sark cutting and come joggling towards them. They heard a snort of surprise behind them, but gave it no special heed. The Sénéchal grinned briefly at remembrance of his fright when the beast snuffled down his neck that other night. Then, this is what happened.
