My courser had a swinging gait but did not jolt; and I sat comfortably and firmly in the saddle as we left mile after mile behind.
"I was just wondering," said he, "whether I could read five minutes longer without a stimulant. Do you know that indiscriminate reading is a fiendish torture. No convict could stand it. I seldom take up a book in these days without thinking how much more amusing it would be to jolt off on a bright day at the head of a funeral procession.
But now comes the clank of buffers, the violent shock makes the van start and, as it were, give a lurch forward, and all the cattle fall against one another. "May you be served the same in the world to come," grumbles the old man, setting straight his cap, which had slipped on the back of his head from the jolt. "He'll maim all my cattle like this!"
"You quite gave me a jolt," he said awkwardly, and knowing that he said it like a "mutt." "I didn't know any one was in the gallery." "What are you doing here?" she asked. She spoke to him as though she were addressing an intruding servant. There was emphasis on the word "you." Her intention was so evident that it increased his feeling of being "rattled."
Dressmakers and dentists charged Susanna mercilessly for forgotten appointments; but an adoring circle of friends had formed a sort of silent conspiracy to save her from herself, and socially she suffered much less than she deserved. "But some day you'll get an awful jolt; you'll get the lesson of your life, Sue," Jim used to say, and Susanna always answered meekly: "Oh, Jim, I know it!"
"What's the matter with your eyesight? Did you think I was combing my hair?" "Don't you feel well?" Shorty queried anxiously, as Smoke broke a third egg and dexterously thrust him back with a stiff-arm jolt on the breast. "Or are you just plain loco? That's thirty dollars' worth of eggs already." "And I'm going to make it sixty dollars' worth," was the answer, as Smoke broke the fourth.
"My dear," protested Dennis, "don't we all know him well enough to understand that any shock will produce that effect? If his mother died or his horse, his vines got the scale, his Ghirlandaio sprung a crack, his university gave him an honorary degree these would all be reasons for proposing to Emma. Dear old Crocker is like that; any jolt would affect him that way."
By this time he was shuddering rapidly. A peculiar feeling, as if his belly were turned into nothingness, made him want to press his fists into his abdomen. He remained shuddering drunkenly, like a drunken man who is sick, incapable of thought or action. A second knock came at the door. He started with a jolt. 'Here is your shaving-water, said Beatrice in cold tones. 'It's half past nine.
Bert jerked with a sudden jolt of the train and missed. "Striker's out!" called the umpire, while everybody laughed because the boy had missed first. Then Bert had to go all the way back to center, while Nan was four seats down. Three more balls were passed, then Nan missed. "I shouldn't have to go all the way back for the miss," protested Nan. "You went three seats back, so I'll go three back."
Suddenly he launched into a perfect volley of kicks, each kick giving the rider such a violent jolt that he was rapidly losing his hold. "Keep it up! Keep it up! You've got him!" exulted the Circus Boy. The audience was howling with delight. "There he goes!" shrieked Teddy. Manuel, now as helpless as a ship without a rudder, was being buffeted over the back of the plunging animal.
