"Goin' to take a little run, eh?" inquired Stover. "We allowed we'd lay off a few minutes and watch you." "Thanks!" "Yes," Fresno spoke up. "I told the boys we'd better hold a stop- watch on you and see what shape you're in." "A stop-watch?" said Glass, sharply. "Yes. I have one." "Not to-day," said Speed's trainer. "No!" he admonished, as his protege turned upon him. "Some other time, mebbe.
The story is given in Speed's words: "He had ridden into town on a borrowed horse, with no earthly property save a pair of saddlebags containing a few clothes. I was a merchant at Springfield, and kept a large country store, embracing dry-goods, groceries, hardware, books, medicines, bed-clothes, mattresses in fact, everything that the country needed.
But it may not be irrelevant to note that M. Desmolins, who, in his remarkable book, A quoi tient la superiorité des Anglo-saxons? hands over the future of civilisation to the Anglo-Saxons, ascribes to the English rural home much of the success of the race. Speed's Chronicle, quoted in Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, 1611-14, p. xix.
"He was a Freshman at Yale the year I graduated," explained Jack. "Too bad he never got out of that class." It was evident that Mr. Speed's levity made no impression upon the Glee Club tenor. "He hates to talk about himself, doesn't he?" "I think he is very clever," said Miss Blake, warmly. "How well do you know him?" "Not as well as I'd like to."
She turned to Medart. "We had best start now. Our time is limited." In the shuttle heading for Sherwood Forest, Medart said, "I agree that speed's important, so why not split up? We could cover the ship faster that way." "I do not think that would be wise, Jim."
Lincoln wrote again on the 3d of February, 1842, congratulating Speed upon a recent severe illness of his destined bride, for the reason that "your present distress and anxiety about her health must forever banish those horrid doubts which you feel as to the truth of your affection for her." As the period of Speed's marriage drew near, Lincoln's letters betray the most intense anxiety.
There were four men who slept with him, in the room above Speed's store, and one of them has told how he used to lie sprawled on the floor, with his pillow and candle, reading long after the others had gone to sleep. Samson writes that he never knew a man who understood the art of using minutes as he did. A detached minute was to him a thing to be filled with value.
How came you to court her? But you say you reasoned yourself into it. What do you mean by that? Was it not that you found yourself unable to reason yourself out of it? Did you not think, and partly form the purpose, of courting her the first time you ever saw or heard of her? What had reason to do with it at that early stage?" A little later the lady of Speed's love falls ill.
An' I'm goin' to provide me with a good hoe; mine's gettin' wore out an' all shackly. I can't seem to fix it good." "Them's excuses," observed Mrs. Hilton, with friendly tolerance. "You just cover up the hoe with somethin', if you get it I would. Ira Speed's so jealous he'll remember it of you this twenty year, your goin' an' buy in' a new hoe o' anybody but him."
I'm not positive," he continued, "but I believe these crystals to be those of Dhatura stramonium, and, as you say speed's the thing, we'll begin by noting the effect of the stuff as a gas on that guinea-pig over there." "Have you masks?" asked Locke, with true scientific caution. "Yes on the shelf. You're keen, Quentin.
