Nevertheless it kept fairly well to the middle of the road, but as though the road were a tight-rope. The rumble of it increased as it approached Denry. He withdrew the key from his mother's cottage and put it in his pocket. He was always at his finest in a crisis. And the onrush of the pantechnicon constituted a clear crisis.
It must have been like a gin-and-bitters to them, the sight of all that food." In the new Pantechnicon is exhibited the modern art of Germany. This appeared to me to be exceedingly poor stuff.

There was plenty of colour about it, and you could tell what everything was meant for.
As the taxi turned into the station yard from the Euston Road, Anthony Barraclough unobtrusively opened the offside door and dropped into the street. A pantechnicon concealed the manoeuvre from the traffic that followed. His taxi driver was blissfully unaware of his departure. It would seem a mean thing to have done but Barraclough had pinned a Bradbury to the vacated seat as a tacit apology.
A pantechnicon procession of the more daring, shot with the growing pains, was grading and building into the vast clayey seas west of Kings-highway, but for the most part St. Louis contained herself gregariously enough within her limits, content in those years when the country rang hollowly to the cracked ring of free silver to huddle under the same blanket with her smoke-belching industries.

Above the Liffey, even at so early an hour, the heat shimmers like a silver mist.
It is quite as long, and nearly as difficult to spell, before you know how, as the other, added to which it has a homely sound. It seemed to be the very word. The old Pantechnicon is devoted to the works of the old masters; I shall not say anything about these, as I do not wish to disturb in any way the critical opinion that Europe has already formed concerning them.
"Tell him I've got a pair of skews here as will do him credit, and he shall have the two for twenty pounds." "No, no," said Robert; "they're no use at all. We advertised for one large, strong white horse." Mr. Crawley was coming away from the house at this moment, and the man tackled him. "Have the pair, mister," said the man.
