The thunder of horse-hoofs on the turf was not to be mistaken. Through the darkness the stampeding animals swept down upon the party. "Git, you fellers!" yelled another rider. "And keep a-goin'! Jest split the wind for the station!" The horsemen swept past the jouncing motor-cars. Some of the women in the cars screamed. Helen cried: "What did I tell you!"
But when she hopped out of bed she found herself dreadfully stiff and lame; the jouncing she had received while riding with the boy calling himself Fred Hatfield, and the catamount, on the timber cart, and later her first long walk on snow-shoes, had together strained her muscles and lamed her limbs to a degree.
He had been here! The jouncing yellow stage coach became a hallowed golden chariot, and the ride to the house a sacred pilgrimage. She quoted His poetry on the doorstep, and entered the hall with a reverent obeisance; whereupon the man who brought the trunks ever after referred to her with a significant tap on his forehead and the single word "cracked."
He had just crawled into the first wheel-rut when a big, jouncing, yellow Kentucky cart came by and made an end of Longinus Rotundus Caterpillar. Mrs. Cricky said the moral of his end was very plain to her.
"That's all been 'tended to," said the surly deputy, with a jerk of his thumb toward a suitcase in the seat beside the driver of the hack carriage. "You get in and keep quiet; that's all you've got to do." After this he said nothing and made no further move until we were jouncing along on our way to the railroad station.
"It isn't polite to brag on mothers," said David, surveying his new trousers complacently, "but I know what I think." Blair, jouncing up and down on his branch, agreed with unoffended candor. "'Course she's prettier. Anybody is. Mother's ugly." "It isn't right to say things like that out of the family," Nannie observed. "This is the family.
"No, indeed!" said Grace, so emphatically that the girls in the tonneau chuckled and Mollie looked at her threateningly. "For goodness' sake, don't waste time looking at me," Grace pleaded, as they bounced into a hole in the road and out again, fairly jouncing the breath from the girls' bodies. "Keep your eyes on the road, Mollie dear, We're not ready to die yet."
I won't do any dirty thing like that, to humour them! Not much!" He lay back, rolling about in the jouncing cab, scowling at space. "Not much!" he repeated. "I'll shake down Quarrier, though! I'll make him pay for his treachery scaring me out of Amalgamated! That will be restitution, not extortion!"
But the laundress is of so unromantic and jouncing a figure that I abandon the fancy when no more than her shoulders are above the scuttle. She is, however, an amiable creature and, if the wind is right, I hear her singing at her task. When clothespins fill her mouth, she experiments with popular tunes. One of these wooden bipeds once slipped inside and nearly strangled her.
I afterwards heard a similar song sung by a wild blue jay to his mate while she was sitting, and so I knew that my dear little captive had given me his sweetest his love-song. One of Jakie's amusements was dancing across the back of a tall chair, taking funny little steps, coming down hard, "jouncing" his body, and whistling as loud as he could.
