After taking the number ordered, he proceeded to repack his apparatus, and to his surprise, when he took up the bottle he carried the mercury in, he found it still filled, and none in the bath, except only such particles as had adhered to the sides, after dusting and being jolted for several miles over the rough road.
Lutorius, with a comprehending smile, whispered to the coachman, who mounted his tiny seat. Almost at once Brinnaria was lost in thought and jolted through the streets oblivious to her surroundings, not even seeing what was before her eyes. From her muse she was roused by the halting of the carriage. Amazed, she looked up.
Upon the top of the box, at its widest, highest point, rested a wreath of red flowers, a clumsy, spraddly wreath from which the red blossoms threatened to shake loose. Even at a distance of some rods I could tell that a man's inexpert fingers must have fashioned it. Upon the shoulders of the bearers the box swayed and jolted.
His song over, he settled down and fell into a deep sleep, and the caleche jolted down even narrower streets, curiously paved with planks, and ways that led through and under the ancient, tottering wooden houses. But Quebec is too real a city to be 'seen' in such a manner.
Large stones, one on top of the other, gave my carriage, which was one of the roughest in the world, a violent shock at every moment. And the inns being so bad as to exclude every possibility of staying at them, we had jolted and jerked on to St. Petersburg without a stop. I was far from recovered from all my fatigue since the term of my residence in St.

But it was our experience that an ambulance under any name jolted equally hard. Besides these divertisements, we had more laborious vocations, a good deal of fatigue, and genuine though small alarms.
The judge raised his hat with a stately inclination; the general nodded good-naturedly, still grasping the linen robe with his plump, red hand; and the carriage jolted along the green and disappeared behind the glazed brick walls of the church. The judge regarded his walking-stick meditatively for a moment, and continued his way.
But the woman with the toothache saw the shadow move you remember she said she saw you sink forward, as if you'd fallen asleep." "Yes; and she was right. It DID move. I suppose some extra-heavy dray must have jolted by the flimsy building at any rate, something gave my mannikin a jar, and when I came back he had sunk forward, half over the table." There was a long silence between the two men.
We climbed on board, gave a loud whistle, and jolted oil. Far down, on our right, the river shone between the trees, and these trees, encroaching on the track, almost joined their branches above us. Ahead, the moss that grew upon the sleepers gave the line the appearance of a green glade, and the grasses, starred with golden-rod and mallow, grew tall to the very edge of the rails.
If Heaven willed, he might eventually be of some service on the heave of the sea, as they in their youth and their strength assuredly would be in the land campaign. As his hired trap jolted on, at a twist of the road before it bore straight-eastwardly, he caught sight of their diminishing figures side by side and already a goodish way off on a rise of the inland road.
