Thrice she called, and thrice at the bidding of the company Phrontis called out in reply; and meantime the heroes were rowing with swift-moving oars in search of her.
The man hesitated, looked in her face, and said: "Very well; miss. By Dorking, ain't it?" Barbara nodded. The clock over the stables was chiming seven when Miltoun and Barbara passed out of the tall iron gates, in their swift-moving small world, that smelled faintly of petrol.
A Mississippi of horses and rich vehicles, not by dozens and scores, but hundreds and thousands the broad avenue filled and cramm'd with them a moving, sparkling, hurrying crush, for more than two miles. I like to get in one of the Fifth avenue stages and ride up, stemming the swift-moving procession.
"I feel as if I hadn't had a clock lesson for ages," observed he, as he sat down. "Clock lesson? What do you mean?" The man with the swift-moving hands shot him a quick, puzzled glance. "Oh, don't think I am here to steal your trade," retorted Christopher mischievously. "I only mean that so far as I am concerned the clock world stopped with Quare, Tompion, and Graham."
His admirable geographical labours in 'Crossing Africa' are, after a few years of a swift-moving age, lapsing Lethe-wards; and To have done is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty nail In monumental mockery. Now he has another opportunity of doing valuable service, none of these positions having been established by observations, and of showing travellers how topography should be worked.

We of Miss Somerville's generation depend on our imagination, not on memory, to reconstruct the scene.
There was no awkwardness on his part, no numb tongue. He was at home here, and he held his own royally in the badinage, bristling with slang and sharpness, that was always the preliminary to getting acquainted in these swift-moving affairs. At the corner where the main stream of people flowed onward, he started to edge out into the cross street.
Each bird keeps as near to his neighbor as possible; but manages always to preserve the interval which will insure against a collision of the strong and swift-moving wings, an accident which might well disable them for flight. I have repeatedly undertaken to confound their motion by firing a rifle bullet at the head of the moving wedge.
"Did she say anything?" "Not a word." Mr. Ruggles passed into the next car, hoping to find Nell and the strange old woman there. He went the whole length of the swift-moving train, only to learn that his fair captive had been spirited away completely. At first rage consumed the man's senses, and he scarcely realized the dangers of his position.
One by one he ran them through his fingers, and one by one they seemed to grow longer and stronger, each time they were pulled through the little old man's swift-moving fingers. "Then, searching in his wallet, he found three ivory bobbins; and on these he wound the long, strong, and silken hairs. He wound and wound, and as he wound he sang:
