We cannot bid it stand forever in the same old rut, like an abandoned road-cart or "Jeffersonian Democrat," because across its shining pathway lie the honest prejudices of zealous stupidity.
The gathering became all the more unintelligible to me. Why, if Topándy himself knew best what there was to be felt in that hour, what necessity had we to avoid him? Now the wagon could be heard! The two steeds galloped into the courtyard at a smart pace with the light road-cart. He was driving himself. I scarcely recognized him.
Twenty feet to the rear loomed the black muzzle of Enos Jackson's trotter, with Jackson in his little road-cart. Behind him, three bicyclists filled up the gap between the road-cart and Dr. Brotherton's buggy. I felt a little better at seeing Brotherton there. He set my hired man's leg two years ago, and made a splendid job.
While waiting, with the road-cart drawn up close to the curb, Steering and the girl could hear talk all about them, zinc and lead, jack, jack, jack!
So long as I can sit the road-cart or run me arms into a biled shirt I'll stay by, darlin'. 'Tis not safe for you to go about alone in the hell-broth of these Eastern streets. Besides, while I'm losin' weight I'm lighter on me feet than when I came.
What Steering and the girl heard as they waited in the road-cart was fragmentary but significant: "Scotch Company will divide off another one hundred thousand acres, so they say No, sirree-bob, no more hand-jigging for me Wouldn't take one-quarter of a million for it, if you'd give it to me Boston Company is bound to make millions Yes, that's Madeira, Canaan Tigmores Oh, he will mint money out of it, no doubt in the world about that he goes in to win "
This is the town that jack built, this is the town the poet wrote about!" Madeira was leaning forward from the rear seat of a high road-cart to talk to Steering, who sat on the front seat beside the driver. Madeira had the back seat by himself, but, leaning forward, with both arms spraddled out behind Steering and the driver, he seemed now and then to take possession of the front seat, too.
