The rocking-horses are being made at Woolwich. They are quite cheap. Daily Paper. My instructions to Mr. Leggatt, my engineer, had been accurately obeyed. He was to bring my car on completion of annual overhaul, from Coventry via London, to Southampton Docks to await my arrival; and very pretty she looked, under the steamer's side among the railway lines, at six in the morning.
There were Noah's arks that held animals that would have astonished old Noah himself, and rocking-horses in various stages of dilapidation, from the bright new one with only a scratch on his leg, to the headless and tailless steed that rocked in a melancholy way in the corner.
There were bows and arrows, and darts, and jumping ropes, and glass dogs, and little rocking-horses, and a thousand other things. When the boys first came in, there was a little girl standing by the counter with a small slate in her hand. She looked like a poor girl, though she was neat and tidy in her dress. She was talking with the shopman about the slate.
With all that he could buy up the whole town, and all the sugar pigs, all the tin soldiers, whips and rocking-horses in the whole world. Now he threw away all the silver with which he had filled his pockets and knapsack, and filled them with gold instead yes, all his pockets, his knapsack, cap and boots even, so that he could hardly walk. Now he was rich indeed.
They had very little time even to wish, however, for the rocking-horses rushed over the ground at such a pace that they could see nothing they were passing; so, after all, they would have been none the wiser if they had come by sky as Martin had wished.

"They can't run up hill, even in dreams," insisted Sue. "Horses have to walk up hill. Grandpa's always do." "Maybe not in dreams," Bunny said. "And I really did dream that, Sue.

Good gracious, what a quantity of gold there was! enough to buy all the sugar-sticks of the sweet-stuff women; all the tin soldiers, whips, and rocking-horses in the world, or even the whole town itself There was, indeed, an immense quantity.

Just so with the penny-trumpet seed, and the toy-furniture seed, the skate-seed, the sled-seed, and all the others.
"Well, I believe he has," said Bertie, "but all the money I ever got from him was L150." "And what became of the L550?" "Why, sir, the commission was L100 or so, and I took the remainder in paving-stones and rocking-horses." "Paving-stones and rocking-horses!" said the doctor. "Where are they?" "Oh, sir, I suppose they are in London somewhere but I'll inquire if you wish for them."
