"'Look, look! my neighbor nudged me. 'Do you see that dark man getting into that cab? That's the famous runner, King! "And the whole tram began talking breathlessly of the runner who was then absorbing the brains of Moscow.
Sooner will I go on to the bench myself. You have been through the gates of Tartarus these last days, and need all your strength. Are you not the Isthmionices,—the swiftest runner in Hellas?” Then Glaucon had stepped back and said no more.
At one point the echo of his feet chattered back at him, as if some other futile runner strained amid vast spaces of blackness. After a long time he found himself running up a residential street, and presently, far ahead, he saw the glow of Dr. Jallup's porch light. Its beam had the appearance of coming from a vast distance.
A runner who is thoroughly alive to all the possibilities of the game will see a chance and gain a point where another of less ready perception would find no opening. The former has learned to marshal at a glance all the attendant probabilities and possibilities and to estimate, in the same instant, the chances of success or failure.

The groom stood respectfully beside his mistress, then he handed her the sealed letter. "What is that?" asked Marguerite. "Just come by runner, my lady."

In hunting on horseback, he hit the game at full gallop and never missed his aim.
The former told me that Ghak, king of Sari, had sent my letter and map to him by a runner, and that he and Ja had at once decided to set out on the completion of the fleet to ascertain the correctness of my theory that the Lural Az, in which the Anoroc Islands lay, was in reality the same ocean as that which lapped the shores of Thuria under the name of Sojar Az, or Great Sea.

In a moment the yells of an hundred savages in pursuit, sounded in his ear, and urged him onward to the utmost of his strength. He was no mean runner at any time; now he was flying to save his life, and every nerve did its duty.
Willet was sadder and sterner than of old, while the countenance of the Onondaga was as grave and inscrutable as ever, though he looked older, more mature, more the mighty forest runner.
