"A risk?" "Yes; it might not have started again," and Tom looked down at the earth below them, as if measuring the distance he would have fallen had not his sky racer kept on at the critical moment. "And and if the current hadn't come on again; eh, Tom? Would we ?" Mr. Damon did not finish, but Tom knew what he meant. "It would have been all up with us," he said simply.
A crowd collected in the store as soon as the shutters were down; there was a knot of men before the lawyer's office waiting for him to come; and several hot-headed young fellows pressed into the stable and urged upon Silas Beers that he should keep the old white racer in readiness for an emergency that day, and also several others which, if not as fleet, had good staying powers.
When you're not off in your sky racer seeing how much you can beat the birds, you're either hunting elephants in Africa, or diving down under the ocean, or out in a diamond mine, or some such out-of-the-way place as that. No wonder you don't get many letters. But that one looks as if it had come quite a distance." "So it does," agreed Tom, looking closely at the stamp and postmark.
In very many cases they do not even know how to mount, but finding ponies so cheap, or, better still, getting a discarded racer as a cumshaw, they take to riding as naturally as if to the manner born, so that there are but few residents of either sex who cannot ride, and China ponies consequently hold a place in the estimation of foreigners which is altogether denied them by the natives.
He turned about and espied a big gray racing car drawn up at the curb. A young man weighted down under a heavy load of goggles, fur and other racing appurtenances sat in the car. Its engines were humming merrily. "Say, you, follow that car for me," sung out Officer 4434, delighted at his discovery. "The taxicab with the black body." The driver of the racer snorted contemptuously.
"The weasel is called Adrune; the fox, Blue-foot, or the Racer of the Woods; the wolf, Gray-foot, or Gold-foot; the bear the Old Man, or Grandfather. The cap of a gnome confers invisibility, and causes one to behold invisible things. Every toad that is baptized must be clad in red or black velvet, a bell on its neck, a bell on its feet. The godfather holds its head, the godmother its hinder parts.
The vigil of the Go Ahead boys, however, was not rewarded by detecting the presence of any one with plots against the Black Growler. The day of the race dawned clear and fair. The excitement among the boys had now become intense. Everything had been done for the swift little racer that had been in the power of the boys.
It is blood, Mr Simple all blood you are descended from good blood; and there's as much difference between nobility and the lower classes, as there is between a racer and a cart-horse." "I cannot agree with you, Mr Chucks. Common people are quite as brave as those who are well-born. You do not mean to say that you are not brave that the seamen on board this ship are not brave?"
"Forgive me if my fingers tremble. It is the excitement of the last few minutes." Hunterleys stood quite still. Words seemed difficult to him just then. "You were very brave, Henry," she said quietly. "Whom whom are you going down with?" "I am with Richard Lane," he answered, "in his two-seated racer." She bit her lip. "I did not mean to come alone with Mr. Draconmeyer, really," she explained.
My wife says I stay here too much." "Don't be in a hurry," urged Tom. "Can't you stay to supper? I'll take you home to-night in the sky racer. I want to talk more about the city of gold, and plan what we ought to take with us to Mexico." "All right," agreed Mr. Damon. "I'll stay, but I suppose I shouldn't. But let's mail the letter."
