And while his brother was buttoning up the coat, he gave the address; then Montague clambered in, and after a quick glance over his shoulder, Oliver pressed a lever and threw over the steering-wheel, and they whirled about and sped down the street. Sometimes, at home in Mississippi, one would meet automobiling parties, generally to the damage of one's harness and temper.
I who have wanted you so long that it hurts even to think about it! Ever since the night I came up the Street, and you were sitting there on the steps oh, my dear, my dear, if you only cared a little!" Because he was afraid that he would get out of hand and take her in his arms, which would be idiotic, since, of course, she did not care for him that way, he gripped the steering-wheel.
She hastily asked the direction of Baker's dock from the butler, and then ran out of the house and sprang to the steering-wheel of her waiting car. With a whir of the starter she was away. Flint had arrived at the dock long before and was now slinking in and out among the crates and boxes as he sought diligently for a safe hiding-place.
He must, she guessed, have just arrived from Paris, and his brother officer either was telling him the news or giving him his orders. Whichever it might be, in what was told him the new arrival was greatly interested. One instant in indignation his gauntleted fist beat upon the steering-wheel, the next he smiled with pleasure.
His blushing bride was a hurdle-rider, too, and loved a risk-neck venture. She insisted on going with him. He accepted the steering-wheel of a motor-ambulance and left his bride to her own devices while he shot along the poplar-plumed roads of France at lightning speed. Charity drifted into hospital service.
We were just starting to go around the island when she suddenly transferred her allegiance from the steering-wheel to the wind, and sidled off in the marshes till she brought up hard aground. There was nothing to do but to wait for the rising tide. Nautica got out the chart again to see where we were.
I suppose that Toon, at the steering-wheel of "Waterspin," must have received a message, which I was too preoccupied to hear; and as speed slackened, came the voice which others know as that of my Aunt Fay. Never had it been so welcome, sounded so sweet, as now, when it brought my reprieve.
"I shall have to ask to be excused for three minutes," he said. "I must speak upon the telephone. It is a call from some one who declares that they have important news." He turned the steering-wheel of his chair, and with Miss Price by his side passed across the dining-room, out of the Oasis of rose-shaded lights into the shadows, and through the open door.
In spite of the unavoidable racket, no one stirred: he surmised that the curate slept soundly after the crises of the day. He left the engine by the doorstep, pinning a note to the steering-wheel. It said: TO REV. J. ROVER POODLE this useful steam-roller as a symbol of the theological mind The steamship Pomerania, which had sailed at noon, was a few hours out of port on a calm gray sea.
Time pressed, but every mile or so we were stopped by a kind of Hampton Court maze, thrown across the road, in the shape of high walls of earth and stone, compelling our lieutenant at the steering-wheel to zigzag in and out, and thereby putting us at the mercy of the sentry who stood beside his hut of straw and hurdles, and presented his bayonet at the bonnet as though preparing to receive cavalry.
