Third time, they smiled unembarrassedly. Mind you, they were both hanging upon Cutty's words; only their eyes were like little children at church, restless. It was spring. Without being exactly conscious of what he was doing, Hawksley began to dress Kitty that is, he visualized her in ball gowns, in sports, in furs. He put her on horses, in opera boxes, in limousines.
They corresponded to the limousines and landaulets of the cities. And there were wagons from the shops great trucks, carrying supplies, going along at a pace that racked their engines and their bodies, and that boded disaster to whoever got in their way. But no one did there was no real confusion here, despite the seeming madness of the welter of traffic that we saw. What a traffic that was!
These are not palatable truths to them. And they do not want you to hear them and that is why they brand us as traitors and disloyalists. If we were not traitors to the people, we would be eminently respectable citizens and ride in limousines. It is precisely because we are disloyal to the traitors that we are not disloyal to the people of this country. "How short-sighted the ruling is.
It was sitting with my legs under the mahogany of my millionaire parishioners' tables, driving in their limousines, drinking afternoon tea with their wives, letting them send me to Europe whenever I looked a bit pale. Soft! I was a down pillow, a lump of putty. I, who was supposed to be a fighter for the Lord!" "Nonsense, man!" cried the doctor, now thoroughly aroused.

The restless music of London's life played on his tired pulses. He heard the purring of limousines gliding into Pall Mall, and the vibrato of taxi-cabs whipped into action by the piercing blast of club-porters' whistles.
There were orchids in the flower-holder, and the footman, light rug over his arm, stood rigidly waiting at the door. "What a tone you and your outfit do give my little street," Audrey said, as they started. "We have more milk-wagons than limousines, you know." "I don't see how you can bear it." Audrey smiled. "It's really rather nice," she said. "For one thing, I haven't any bills.
Other cars, not like theirs, were approaching this center of brilliance; long triangles of light near the ground swept through the fine drizzle; small red tail-lights gleamed again from the moist pavement of the street; and, through the myriads of little glistening leaves along the curving driveway, glimpses were caught of lively colours moving in a white glare as the limousines released their occupants under the shelter of the porte-cochere.
Andrews walked with long strides, splashing through the puddles, until, opposite the low building of the Morgue, he caught a crowded green bus. Outside the Hotel Crillon were many limousines, painted olive- drab, with numbers in white letters on the doors; the drivers, men with their olive-drab coat collars turned up round their red faces, stood in groups under the portico.
They swung into Broadway and passed taxis and limousines filled with gay parties just out of the theaters.
