Without warning the motor sputtered once or twice and died. "Gas finished?" asked Dr. Bird into the speaking tube. "No, there is plenty of gas for another forty-five minutes. It acted like a short in the wiring. Maybe another fragment got us that we didn't know about. I can glide to a safe landing, Doctor. Which direction shall I go?" "It doesn't matter," replied Dr.
"How did you reach the coast? The evening papers stated distinctly that since the accident no attempt had been made to run trains." "By motor car from Chantilly," Bernadine replied. "I had the misfortune to lose my servant, who was wearing my coat, and who, I gather from the newspaper reports, was mistaken for me. I myself was unhurt.
It read as follows: "My Darling Boy: Your father goes to you to- morrow. Mr. Cobb was here last night with a letter from some gentleman of means with whom he has been corresponding. They want to see the motor, so your father and Nathan leave on the early train. "This man's continued kindness is a constant surprise to me.
In the morning, however; she found on her breakfast tray a note from Trixton Brent. Her first feeling after reading it was one of relief that he had not mentioned the house. He had written from a New York club, asking her to lunch with him at Delmonico's that day and drive home in the motor. No answer was required: if she did not appear at one o'clock, he would know she couldn't come.
Crewe good-naturedly turned off his switch, and the motor, with a dying sigh, was silent. He even liked the notion of being commanded to do a thing; there was a relish about it that was new. The other women of his acquaintance addressed him more deferentially. "Get hold of the bridle," he said to the chauffeur. "You've got no business to have an animal like that," was his remark to Victoria.
So they tested the guns, looked to the motor, and in general made ready for a flight when the weather should clear. This happened two days later, when the fog and mist were blown away and the blue sky could be seen.
At the back are seen the two motor muscles of the cymbals, two muscular columns arranged like the limbs of a ~V~. To right and left of the point of this ~V~ shine the tiny mirrors; and between the two branches of muscle the empty cavity is prolonged into the depths of the thorax.
I ventured at table to say quite truthfully that I, a surgeon from a base hospital, where we saw endless Red Cross motor ambulances, and received so many kindnesses in supplies, and especially luxuries for our wounded from the Red Cross officials, had been under the impression that the R.A.M.C. was a sort of small tail to a very large Red Cross kite, owing to our little army and general unpreparedness when the war broke out.
You may be, but I don't think it's likely. Get the motor out and go straight to Wreste Abbey. An attempt on uncle's life will be made tonight, if they still carry out their plans, about dinner-time tonight. See that every possible precaution is taken. See to that first. Then send help as soon as you can to Bittermeads, a house on the outskirts of Ramsdon; any one there will tell you where it is."
There is a difference in efficiency of from 15 to 20 per cent. in these two sizes of motors, but this difference is fully lost to the large motor in driving the shafting, and the small motor still has the advantage of being out of circuit entirely when the machine it is driving is stopped. There is scarcely a manufacturing industry which does not possess its busy and dull seasons.
