After she had stalled the car several times, and Bob had gotten out to crank it, she finally started. A motor van coming towards them made her almost run into a ditch. But Jim took the wheel in time. "You know, you don't have to climb trees and fences, Lo," Bob teased; "there's really plenty of room on the road." "Oh, but it looked as if it would run right into us!" she exclaimed, shuddering.
Diseased animals, and such as die of themselves, ought never to be eaten. Such as are fed grossly, stalled cattle and pigs, without any exercise, do not afford food so nourishing or wholesome as others. Salt meat is not so easily digested as fresh provisions, and has a tendency to produce putrid diseases, especially the scurvy.
All those in the second car got out and walked to that which was stalled in the bushes. They found Dick and Fred walking around the machine trying to learn if any damage had been done. "We might have kept right on," said Sam, and explained why. "Well, we are here, and now comes the problem of getting back on the road," said the eldest Rover. "I don't think I can back very well in here."
I guess I owe you a square meal and a night's lodging for being on the job when my car stalled." "Not to mention for diving into the lake after you," amended Packard. "I wouldn't mention it if I were you," she retorted. "Seeing that you just made a fool of yourself that time." She openly sniffed the air as he stepped by her reaching out for butcher-knife and roast. "So you are dad's kind, are you?
With fine judgment Cronje held on to the last moment of safety, and then with a swift movement to the rear seized a further line two miles off, and again snapped back at his eager pursuers. All day the grim and weary rearguard stalled off the fiery advance of the infantry, and at nightfall the wagons were still untaken.
It spelled trains stalled in snowdrifts, baggage delayed, cold hotel bedrooms, harassed, irritable buyers. It was just six o'clock on the evening of December ninth when Mrs. Emma McChesney swung off the train at Columbus, Ohio, five hours late. As she walked down the broad platform her eyes unconsciously searched the loaded trucks for her own trunks.
"Better is a dinner of herbs," says the wise man, "where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith." And many a home exists where there is but little more than a dinner of herbs, which affection and mutual loyalty, and sweet dispositions, convert into a palace.
He brought the boys to a sharp halt at sight of them, and came forward to meet them, saluting gravely. "Are you in trouble?" he asked, with his quiet smile and a glance at the stalled machine. "May I help?" "Oh, would you?" cried Betty, her pretty forehead puckered. "We do want to get back before the storm breaks."

He had heard just the preceding day that the miller down the river road was looking for a boy to assist him, since his son was sick, and it was toward the quaint old mill, driven by water from the little river, that he first of all turned his steps. As he trudged along about half a mile beyond the outskirts of the town he discovered a vehicle some little distance ahead, apparently stalled.
