Jammed between two sailors, the boy sat staring back at the men gathering on the promenade. The flashing of many rifles kept a constant streak of light along a considerable section of the deck. Bullets seemed to whine within an inch of his ears. The dinghy appeared to be retreating at a snail's pace, and the frightened boy gripped furiously at the gunwale in an absurd effort to speed it up.
He was very eager to have it and will do well I'm sure but certainly also the dogs will not pull heavy loads 500 pounds proved a back-breaking load for 11 dogs to-day they brought it at a snail's pace. Meares has estimated to give them two-thirds of a pound of biscuit a day. I have felt sure he will find this too little. The ponies are doing excellently.
They were under a great shadowy train shed where the lamps were already beginning to shine out, with passenger cars all about and train moving at s snail's pace. The people in the car were all up and crowding about the door. " Well, here we are," said Drouet, leading the way to the door. "Good- bye, till I see you Monday." "Good-bye," she answered, taking his proffered hand.
And then its long snail's eyes saw something that made them stretch out so much that they were as long and thin as new slate-pencils. Its fur bristled thickly, and its voice was quite hoarse with excitement as it whispered 'That's it! That's it! There, under that blue and yellow buckle, you can see a bit sticking out. It's red. Do you see?
The train went at a snail's pace, and if Coleman bad an interest it was in the people who lined the route and cheered the soldiers on the train. In Coleman s compartment there was a greasy person who spoke a little English. He explained that he was a poet, a poet who now wrote of nothing but war.
The hunters, in the forward part of the car, exchanged remarks now and then: the rest of us read newspapers and looked out of the windows at the monotonous winter landscape. Wondering at the snail's pace at which we moved, I recalled the landlord's mysterious jokes, and at last ventured to ask the little milliner, who sat in the next seat to mine, what he meant by his allusions.
Them that's got snail's feet of their own can't get a horse to go fast enough for 'em, specially when the horse belongs to somebody else. And I'm jist a-gettin' my courage up, Moike. I belave there'll be always something for my b'ys to do, because my b'ys will work. And if they can't get b'ys' work they'll do girls' work. Betwane you and me, Moike, I'm proud of Pat. Have you heard the news?
The horse moved slowly along, at almost a snail's pace, while behind walked a poor, sad couple with their heads bowed down, and each with a hand on the tail-board of the cart. They were evidently overwhelmed with grief. Happily we have no such processions now; even Justice itself has been humanized to some extent, and the law's cruel severity mitigated.
Aye, there it was, slowly winding up the steep white road, on which it seemed to move at a snail's pace. She might overtake him she might she might speak one farewell word to him, print his face on her heart with a last look nay, when he saw her he might retract, and not utterly, for ever, leave her.
For the train, now only a hundred yards distant and creeping toward him at a snail's pace, carried no headlight, and though in the moonlight David was plainly visible, it blew no whistle, tolled no bell. Even the passenger coaches in the rear of the sightless engine were wrapped in darkness. It was a ghost of a train, a Flying Dutchman of a train, a nightmare of a train.
