She came riding "pickaback" on a man's shoulders; a nice, modest, good-looking young woman, her hair rubbed all over with nkola, a red pigment, made from the camwood, and much used as an ornament. She was accompanied by about a dozen young and old female attendants, each carrying a small basket with some provisions, as cassava, ground-nuts, &c.
But in this, as in so many other instances, it is distance which lends enchantment to the view. We went as near to the shore as we could in small boats, and when we grounded, a fellowship of clamouring, unkempt, half-naked Barbary Jews, skull-capped, with their shirts tied at their waists and short cotton drawers, rushed forward to meet us, and carry us pickaback to dry land.
"No. Mark take Mary." "Let the little beast take her," said Papa. "If he does he shan't come back again. Do you hear that, sir?" Mark said, "Yes, Papa." They went out of the room hand in hand. He carried her upstairs pickaback. As they went she rested her chin on the nape of his neck where his brown hair thinned off into shiny, golden down.
"Will you give me a piggy-back?" asked Sue, who was not too old for such things. "A pickaback is just what you shall have," said Mr. Bixby, and Sue soon got up on his back by stepping from a high stone, to the top of which Bunny helped her.
"The giant who carried the old man in pickaback the first night of the war!" "Yes, the bold impudence of him!" said Minna. "As if there was nothing that could stand in his way and what he wanted he would have!" But Minna was flushing as she spoke. The flush dissipated and she drew up her chin when Stransky, looking around, recognized her with a merry, confident wave of his hand.
Then he lifted him pickaback on his shoulders, and bidding him hold on tight to his father's hair, carried him off proudly to the house. Jean was seven. Soon existence settled down to a settled routine. At midday the old dame would don her shawl and set off with the child in the direction of Grenelle.
"When I think of what that really nice young man is taking on his shoulders when he marries you " "But, Auntie!" cried Jennie, "he's not going to try to carry me pickaback, you know." "Just the same, it is wrong for us to encourage him to become responsible for you, Jennie," said her aunt. "He really should be warned." "Oh!" gasped the plump girl.
William then carried him pickaback for some time, and in so doing he missed the blaze-cut on the trees, and it was a long while before he could find it again; then baby became hungry, and he cried, and little Caroline was frightened at being so long in the wood, and she cried. But finally they got on better, and arrived at last so warm and exhausted, that Mrs.
The wife numbly watched her Bill's face, turning now and then to glance at the activities of little Bill with his engine, or to smile her thanks to the patients who sometimes came and gave the child pickaback rides.
He would much rather have crawled on, you know, and allowed the shot to pass over his head; but he's a Briton, old Nevil the same; but old Nevil's peculiarity is that, as you are aware, he hates a compromise won't have it retro Sathanas! and Drew's proposal to take his arm instead of being carried pickaback disgusts old Nevil.
