The dock, beside which lay tugging at her cables the huge liner, was confusion thrice confused. Jolting cabs, rattling taxis, smooth-running private cars, drays and vans, added to the tumult caused by the hundred the thousands of hurrying, scurrying humanity.
"Have you seen my new card?" He fumbled for one in his pocket and handed it over. Father Murray read it aloud: JOHN JONATHAN STURGIS Justice of the Peace The only exclusive matrimonial magistrate. Marriages solemnized promptly, accurately and eloquently. Fees Moderate. Osculation extra. Office at the Flour Mill, which has, however, no connection with my smooth-running Matrimonial Mill.
The stations are pleasant, sometimes with lunch-counters and news-stands, but have not the comic-opera-chalet prettiness of ours, and are not so frequent. The road is not so smooth, the cars not so smooth-running or so swift. On the other hand they are comfortably cushioned, and they are never overcrowded.
The chauffeur let out a few notches of speed. "Smooth-running car," commented Mr. Farnum. "Runs just as smoothly, sir, at sixty miles an hour," replied the man. "When we get a little further out, you can us some of that," smiled Mr. Farnum, contentedly. "I will, sir." "You boys afraid to go at sixty miles an hour?" asked the shipbuilder, turning to face those in the tonneau.
Anyway, I followed through several inner rooms of oppressive magnificence which the Spaniard reserves for his own use. Then we entered a corridor. No lock could be seen, but the Señora touched the panel in a certain way. It closed of itself as we entered, with the sound of a lock indeed a heavy, oiled, smooth-running click, but very soft.

Therewith he called to his men, and they gave ear, and without the palace they made ready the smooth-running mule-wain, and led the mules beneath the yoke, and harnessed them under the car, while the maiden brought forth from her bower the shining raiment.
"I have come over to take you a little spin, if you'll go." Miss Stevens gazed at the caller quizzically, and laughed outright. "This is so sudden," she murmured. The caller himself grinned. "Does seem so, if you stop to think of it," he admitted. "Rather like dropping out of the clouds. But the auto is here, and I can testify that it's a smooth-running machine. Will you go?"
A moment later the man returned, and politely ushered him into an elevator lined with mirrors, and luxuriously upholstered in red satin. At the fifth floor, the smooth-running car stopped, and the attendant pointed to an apartment across the corridor. Before Madison could reach the door, it was thrown wide open.
I do not think that it is asking too much of the reader's faith in progress to assume that so far as a light powerful engine goes, comparatively noiseless, smooth-running, not obnoxious to sensitive nostrils, and altogether suitable for high road traffic, the problem will very speedily be solved.
Even at house-cleaning time, which Ma Mandle had always treated as a scourge, things were as smooth-running and peaceful as at ordinary times. Just a little bare, perhaps, as to floors, and smelling of cleanliness. Lil applied businesslike methods to the conduct of her house, and they were successful in spite of Ma Mandle's steady efforts to block them. Old lady Mandle did not mean to be cruel.
