Planet after planet was passed as we sped on and on upward, and as my delight grew I gave utterance to it. "Jove! But this is fine!" I said. "I never knew anything like it, except looping the loop." Phaeton grinned broadly and winked at Jason. "How would you like to loop the loop out here?" the latter asked. "What? In a machine like this?" I cried. "Certainly," said Jason. "It's great sport.
"Why, certainly." "I didn't know that before." At this point a phaeton entered the compound, and Orde rose with "Confound it, there's old Rasul Ah Khan come to pay one of his tiresome duty calls. I'm afraid we shall never get through our little Congress discussion."
Beckford tells the story as follows: "I offered to show him what had been done by planting in the course of years. Nelson mounted by my side in a phaeton, drawn by four well-trained horses, which I drove. There was not the least danger, the horses being perfectly under my command, long driven by myself.
Bruno listened with unfeigned interest, but not so his more mercurial brother, who took advantage of an opening left by the professor, to bluntly interject: "What mighty good, even if you should find it all, uncle Phaeton? You couldn't pick it up and tote it away, to start a dime museum with. And, as for my part, I'll tell you what! If we could only find something like Aladdin's cave, now!"
"That's a right good fellow," thought Lord Bearwarden, "and not a bad connection if I was fool enough to marry the dark girl, after all." So he called out to Dick, who had one foot on the step of his phaeton "I say, Stanmore, come and dine with us on the 11th; we've got two or three hunting fellows, and we can go on together afterwards to your mother's ball."
"No, not exactly. I'm interested in the place now I manage it without that dolt Lambarde, and Hythe isn't too far for the phaeton if I want to See Life. Besides, I haven't quite got over the thrill of not being in debt and disgrace" he threw Martin a glance which might have come from a rebellious son to a censorious father.

I saw him go down-street, after dinner, in his phaeton, with another gentleman, and have not heard wheels since." "You are sure he was not here, this morning while while Morton was absent?" "Quite sure; he breakfasted later than usual, I think, for I saw him throw open his side bedroom window at nine o'clock, and he was in his shirt-sleeves then. He sleeps in a large room in the ell, you know.
They were dashing over the moors, Agatha sitting rather silent, and Harrie's tongue galloping as fast as Dunce, her steed. Little Brian was perched on his mother's knee, holding the reins a baby Phaeton, though with small danger of setting the world on fire at least just yet. "Where was it, my dear? Why, to the same old house we live in, empty and gloomy then, though it's full enough now.
Tracy had refused, and promised as an equivalent a drive in the phaeton around the town. And it was for this drive Dolly was preparing herself, when John came with the message that she could not have the phaeton, as Mr. Arthur was going to take Jerry home in it.
