"Yes, come in, Billy, and tell me about your needs," invited the banker. "We'll no doubt be able to help you." The last of the farmers had scarcely gone when Bob's grandparents came driving up the lane. "Has any one died, Bob?" asked his grandfather, as soon as he got near enough to be heard. "Why?" asked Bob smiling. "Well, I saw many rigs going down the road as we came by the Wallace farm.
Ships of all rigs and sizes lay close under the cliffs, and from their diminutive appearance I calculated the great height of the promontory.
A row of light rigs stood outside the livery-stable, voices and laughter rose from the sidewalks; the town looked cheerful and almost picturesque with its roofs and tall elevator towers cutting against the soft night sky. A full moon hung above them, but its silvery radiance was paled by other lights.
I did like, and I went. I should have been better pleased if they had gone there in a carriage; but this wouldn't have suited these two fellows, who had rigged themselves up in their buck-skin boots, and had all the tramping and fishing rigs that they used in the Adirondacks and other sporting places where they told me they had been.
"We came here from India to live with our great-aunt first me alone, and then David and Jock. And Father and Mother were with us when Father had leave. I have hardly ever been away from The Rigs.

"But a fellow must keep up with the procession; he must have some recreation, and all the men around here have rigs." "Not around Four Oaks.

After making ready, the men went off to breakfast, Teddy hanging about the car, busying himself with trifling matters. The car seemed to hold an unusual interest for him that morning. At six o'clock the livery rigs drove up and the rural route men were soon off for their day's work.
Green, I do believe that all would have died away!" "I didn't keep steady I was only crazy. You and Ritchie and Mr. Wilmot " said Ethel, half crying; then, as if unable to stay, she exclaimed with a sort of petulance, "And there's Harry playing all sorts of rigs with Aubrey!
