There are few pleasures keener than the pleasure of telling somebody something he didn't know before. 'Great Scott, he remarked, 'haven't you heard? No, of course you went up to Aldershot before they did it. By Jove. 'Did what? 'Why, they shunted all the Sports prizes from the Board Room to the Pav. and shot 'em into the First room.

An inquest decided that Annersley had come to his death at the hands of parties unknown. The matter was eventually shunted to one of the many legal sidings along the single-track law that operated in that vicinity. Annersley's effects were sold at auction and the proceeds used to bury him. His homestead reverted to the Government, there being no legal heir.
"Not the first time by a good many that you've 'shunted off the straight, Seraph?" laughed Cecil, substituting an amber mouth-piece for his half-finished cheroot. "I've been having a good-night look at the King. He'll stay." "Of course he will," chorused half a dozen voices. "With all our pots on him," added the Seraph.

There he said a quaking good-bye to his last hope and executed the president's orders, trying not to notice the grins of the "goat" crew as they shunted the machinery into hiding. That night, after Jewel was asleep, and the cat outside had ceased yowling, Martin climbed stealthily out of bed and went on his knees, praying with all the fervour of his big being for snow. And the prayer was answered

The hand was there for only a moment, and she withdrew it to entwine the slim fingers with those of the others in her lap. "You have no fever," she said. "What makes you think you are dying?" Kent explained what was happening inside him. He was completely shunted off his original track of thought and anticipation.
By a transverse passage he was then shunted off to a door that opened into the public hall just opposite the elevator well. The incoming patient was received by a woman clerk, who took his name, and was dismissed by another woman clerk, who collected fees and made appointments.
