But it did not tear any more after it got to the outskirts; it dragged along stupidly enough, then till it came in sight of the next hamlet; and then the bugle tooted gaily again and again the vehicle went tearing by the horses.
"Please get me my ticket, Mr. Gilland." She gazed at me from the car-platform; the locomotive tooted two drawling toots. "It is for your sake," I said, avoiding her gaze as the far-off whistle of the north-bound express came floating out of the blue distance.
Ah, the difference it has made! Now tell me. When we were motoring we never slowed up suddenly to pass anything, or tooted to make something move out of the way, without your having already told me what we were going to pass or what was in the road a little way ahead.
The steamer tooted and splashed at the landing below the fort, and turned herself about for the return trip.

At every moment some one tooted in your ear, to make you jump, or you suddenly discovered that some rogue was fixing something on the back of your coat.
"You remember whom you paid them to?" questioned the detective. "I didn't pay them to anyone," replied Wilmott, "I gave them to my wife." "Ah!" said Coquenil, and presently he took his departure with polite assurances, whereupon the unsuspecting Addison tooted away complacently for Fontainebleau.
She draws but two feet of water, having been built expressly for Nile service, so we had the proud satisfaction of seeing one of the big Rameses boats stuck on a sand-bank for eighteen hours, while we tooted past her blowing whistles of defiance and derision.
