"Where did you have the bills?" asked Captain Putnam. "In this vest-pocket. It must have jounced out during the hard riding. Oh, what luck! Captain, I'll have to go back and look for my property." "You are in no condition, Snow, to do that." "I'll go back," said Pepper. "Stuffer and Bob, will you go along?" "Sure thing!" cried Stuffer.
"Too many machine Republicans in my town, and he knows it," said the other. "The best I could do was fool him out of twenty-five. But that's doing well in these times. This Spinney stir has made it cost Everett more than it has cost any candidate for ten years. I really didn't have the heart to crowd him for any more. He's been jounced down good and hard as it is."
The jolting, swinging coach bounced and jounced the unhappy passengers as the reckless driver lashed the flying horses. Away they galloped over mountains and through ravines, with no cessation of speed. Even the shipper pays the low rate of transportation asked to-day with reluctance, and forgets the great debt he owes this adjunct of our civilization.
Many of the young fellows had hired at ruinous expense the carriages in which they sat with their girls, wearing a quiet air of aristocratic reserve which did not allow them to shout sarcasms at Milton, when his horse broke into a trot and jounced him up and down till his hat flew off. But mainly the young people were in huge bowered lumber wagons in wildly hilarious groups.
They crowded with capital T's, Things, up to her and pointed their fingers at her, and smiled dreadful smiles at her, and whispered to one another about her. They sat down on her and jounced up and down, till she gasped for breath. The teacher's bell rang crisply and the voices changed to scampering feet. But Margaret crouched on in the sweet, moist grass behind the wall.
He put it on top of ours, and I suppose coming over that rough road jounced it out." "One of the satchels gone, eh?" came from Mr. Sanderson. "Sure you put it in?" "Yes, I am positive." "Too bad. Reckon I'd better go back at once and pick it up." "I'll go with you," said Tom. The matter was talked over for a minute and then Tom and the farmer reëntered the carriage and drove off.
He eased the ambulance over the rough parts of the road and around the sharp turns with infinite skill. It was actually wonderful how smoothly the ambulance ran. Occasionally they were caught in a tight corner and the machine jounced so that moans of agony were wrung from the lips of the wounded behind them on the stretchers. This, however, occurred but seldom.
I'll fix it. You all promise not to tell on me?" insisted the girl. "Yes, yes, yes, we promise. We'll promise anything just now," laughed Ned. An interval of silence followed while the girl was adjusting the end of the rope. Then she called down to them: "All ready?" asked Tad. "Yes, try it." Tad grasped the rope, and swinging himself clear of the floor, jounced up and down several times.
They could not then journey as now, on the rapid railway, winding green valleys, ascending great hills, and gliding through cities and towns, with as gentle a whirl, and as jocund a clack as if spinning skeins of silk. They mounted the tardy wagon, and rattled and jounced along behind a loitering team. But Julia had fortitude and spirit, to meet fatigues and discouragements bravely.
First I thought I was going down in a big hole, but it isn't over my head and a lot of leaves went down with me, so I didn't get jounced hardly at all." Jan went to the edge and looked down in the hole. It seemed to be a large one in between two big rocks, and Ted showed her where the hole slanted downward and went farther underground.
