Fred knew that she would be killed and he seized her hands and dragged her up beside him on the jouncing timber-reach. "Now see what you've done!" he bawled, as the mules broke into a gallop. But Ruth was too frightened for the moment to speak. Her uncle had a pair of mules, and she knew just how hard they were to manage. And this pair were evidently looking toward supper.
She did not seem to think much of it, but the farmer laughed until his tanned face was red as an Indian's. His wife insisted on me putting down the jar, and offered to set her foot on it so that it would not `jounce' much, but I did not propose to risk it 'jouncing' at all, and clung to it persistently.
And, assuredly, this House of Peace was infinitely better than the miserable crate wherein he had spent twenty horrible and jouncing and smelly and noisy hours. From one to another of the group strayed the level sorrowful gaze. After the swift inspection, Laddie's eyes rested again on the Mistress.
The weather remained delightfully cool and sunshiny after that heavy tempest they had suffered in the hills, and they reached Portsmouth and remained at a hotel for three days when it rained again. The young folks chafed at this delay, but Aunt Kate declared that a hotel room was restful after jouncing over all sorts of roads for so long.
Jan lay still on the ground for a second or two, and then she jumped up with a laugh. "I'm not hurt a bit!" she said. "I fell right in a pile of leaves, and it was like jouncing up and down in the hay." "What's the matter with Trouble?" asked Ted. Baby William kept on crying. "Never mind!" put in Jan. "Sister'll kiss it and make it all better! Where is you hurt, Trouble dear?"
Instead of stopping, the mules went faster and faster. They had their bits 'twixt their teeth and were running away in good earnest. Almost immediately, when the bumping and jouncing wagon got away from the store and the two or three neighboring houses, they were in the deep woods. There were no farms no clearings not even an open patch in the timber. The snow lay deep under the pines and firs.
He got to be the dirtiest dog in town. And the easiest time for an animal to tell is the time to stop work and eat. Felix was very clever in that regard. At about six o'clock the unsuspecting Whitey dismounted to stretch himself and ease the strain of jouncing up and down on that rocking-chair that had come to feel like a ridge-pole.
"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."
He is a master of detail," and the major smiled and nodded. "You speak as though I were sure of getting across," Ruth whispered. "Have no doubt, Mademoiselle. We must get over. Doubt never won in a contest yet. Have courage." After another minute of jouncing about in the furiously driven ambulance, the girl continued her questioning: "What am I to do first?" "Do as you are told," he smiled.
She checked the pony before the bar which the flagman at the railroad crossing had let down, while a long freight train clattered deafeningly by, and then drove bumping and jouncing across the tracks. "I suppose you remember what 'Over the Track' means in Hatboro'?" "Oh yes," said Annie, with a smile. "Social perdition at the least. You don't mean that Mrs. Wilmington lives 'Over the Track'?"
