From under her veil, she glanced, half curiously, half in a sort of grim irony, at the taxis lined up before the dancehall. The two leading cars were not taxis at all, though they bore the ear-marks, with their registers, of being public vehicles for hire; they were large, roomy, powerful, and looked, with their hoods up, like privately owned motors. Well, it was of little account!

The continuous roar of traffic in the busy streets, the crowded tram-cars, the motors and taxis jostling the ancient bullock-carts, the surging crowds in the semi-Europeanised native quarters, even the pall of smoke that tells of many modern industrial activities are not quite so characteristic of new India as, when I was last there, the sandwich-men with boards inviting a vote for this or that candidate in the elections to the new Indian Councils.

If you can't walk, you'll ride. But back you go." "Fine. I been worrying about how to get there. It's right good of you to bring one of these here taxis for me, as the old sayin' is." "Where is the rest of the gold you stole?" "I ain't seen the latest papers, Mac. What is this stuff about robbin' a bank and shootin' Milton?" "You're under arrest for robbery and murder."

But after three nights he thought it best to leave. It would have been awkward if the police had discovered him.

All the taxis in England are just about droppin' to pieces it'll be a mercy when repair shops get goin' again." "It doesn't matter," Cecilia said cheerfully. She decided that she would walk; it would be more interesting, and the long wait on the pier would be shortened.

They came out of the park into a road where the latest taxis were rattling past; a face, a bare neck, silk hat, or shirt-front gleamed in the window-squares, and now and then a laugh came floating through.

London, even in war time, was inviting and charming for such as drove about the West End in taxis, for they had not yet disappeared from the highways and byways.

That other man is an uncertain quantity." "Oh, come," he said; "you've had the inside track from the very start: this house and everything in it...." "You have a house of your own, now."
