With this tightly grasped in her wrinkled brown hand, together with another package of Marny's many times in excess of the stage fare of thirty-six miles and which she slipped into her capacious bosom, Aunt Chloe "made her manners" with the slightest dip of a courtesy and left us with the remark: "Sha'n't nothin' tech her, honey; gwinter stick right close to her till de steam-cars git to movin', I'll be over early in de mawnin' an' let ye know.
We must not forget to mention Vedado, on the seashore, whither the Havanese drive oftenest on Sundays; it is also connected with the city by steam-cars and omnibus. There are some fine villas here, and it is quite a Cuban watering-place, affording excellent bathing facilities. Vedado has wide streets, and, after the city, seems to be remarkably clean and neat.
Thomas Erastus has all the innocent guile of a successful politician. He could manage things slicker than the political bosses, an' he would. One summer Thomas Erastus moved an event of considerable importance in his placid existence. He had to travel a short distance on the steam-cars; and worse, he needs must endure the indignity of travelling that distance in a covered basket.
We had a geological expert who got sadder and sadder every time we spilled out of the waggons and speared around in the rocks for a little while. And we had a great deal of bacon. Still, when we reached Bessietown, where we struck the steam-cars, the Joplin crowd broke for the train on a run.
"We'd saved, both of us, an' we'd planned a honeymoon trip. We was comin' ter Boston. They didn't have any 'lectric-cars then nor any steam-cars only half-way. But we was comin' an' we was plannin' on Bunker Hill an' Faneuil Hall, an' I don't know what all." The little lady paused for breath and Harding stirred uneasily in his chair. Livingstone did not move.
"Copernicus Droop!" cried Rebecca, in a loud voice. Droop jumped high in the air, so great was his nervousness. Then, realizing that it was Rebecca who had addressed him, he limped toward her, rolling his bicycle beside him. "How in creation did you get here?" he asked. "Ain't any steam-cars 'round here, is there?" "Guess not!" Rebecca replied. "I come by short cut up river.
A liberal advance on his wife's salary had quieted him for a time, but when the wonders of this new life began to grow stale the steam-cars, the great cities, the vast country the Company traversed he became importunate for the opportunity of display.
As they rounded the next curve, some monster swept out of the low hills on the right, with a shriek that startled the boy almost into terror and, with a mighty puffing and rumbling, shot out of sight again. The school-master shouted to Chad, and the Turner brothers grinned at him delightedly: "Steam-cars!" they cried, and Chad nodded back gravely, trying to hold in his wonder.
"Wish I could sit on the seat with the king-ductor," besought little Eddo, moving about uneasily. "That isn't a conductor, it's a driver. Conductors are the men that go on the steam-cars, the 'choo choo cars," explained Jimmum. Then in a lower tone, "They don't have any cars up at Castle Cliff, and I'm glad of it." Lucy did not understand why he should be glad, and Jimmy added in a lower tone:
I should like to know who would stop anywhere now to see anything! One might as well be put into a gun and fired off to New York as go there now by steam-cars. Line a gun with red plush, and it is not unlike a "resonant steam-eagle." And you would see as much in one as in the other. But travelling in 1830 enlarged your mind. A journey then was one as was a journey.
