Mr Kerridge forthwith set about placing his affairs, which had suffered from his long absence, in order, Lancelot and I assisting him. Cicely promised to be mine when the war was over, as I acknowledged; should the admiral summon me, I could not refuse to go.
Or calling your little dark entry a "hall," and your old rickety one- horse wagon a "kerridge."

"See the green plush on his kerridge," Pearl said proudly, "and every stitch he has on is hand-made, and was did for him, too, and he's fed every three hours, rain or shine, hit or miss." "Think of that!" the doctor exclaimed with emphasis, "and yet some people tell us that the Czar has a hard time of it."
Half an hour later, at the station, Harper drew up with a sonorous clatter of hoofs. The station-master hurried forward to interview the coachman. In a moment he turned with a beaming face.
