The tram slid easily along the shining rails that stretched away out of sight over the monotonous plain, the camel loping lazily along, its soft, sprawling feet falling noiselessly on the sand.

Budd did the same, and then they broke into their swift, loping trot after the fleeing animals, both in an ugly mood.
