"Wot we want," said fat Sam, "is one o' them things people 'ave in the City one o' the 'er what d'yer call 'ems." "'Ansom keb?" suggested the cook. "'Ansom keb be damned!" said Sam scornfully. "One of them things wot 'as a lot o' people in, I mean." "Tramcars," said the cook, who was all at sea. "But you couldn't take a tramcar all over the country, Sam."
Beauty has gone home; her lover still carries her face in his heart as she waved and waved and waved to him from the rattling lighted tramcar; long he sits and sits thinking of her, gazing up at those lonely ancient stars; the air is still bright with her presence, sweet with her thoughts, warm with her kisses, and as he turns to the shut piano, he can still see her white hands on the keys and her girlish face raised in an ecstasy Beata Beatrix above the music.
With the coachman she had little to do, for she could not rid herself of a sentimental objection to the carriage it savoured of 'airs'; when she used it she used it as she might use a tramcar. It was her custom, every day except Saturday, to walk to the shop about eleven o'clock, after her house had been set in order.
The grassy beach-promenade is half-a-mile long, and an open tramcar runs along the shore for three miles. The residents are alive to the importance of catering for visitors, and the Town Commissioners, a mixed body, have provided bathing accommodation for both sexes.
Having given full instructions to the servant, Pierre set out to take a tramcar, intending to alight from it on the Boulevard de Rochechouart, and then climb the height on foot. And on the road, lulled by the gliding motion of the heavy vehicle, he began to think of his brother's past life and connections, with which he was but vaguely, imperfectly, acquainted.
They walked on, and when they found themselves just below Montmartre, and Pierre spoke of taking a tramcar to return to Neuilly, Antoine, quite feverish with artistic passion, asked him if he knew Jahan, the sculptor, who was working for the Sacred Heart. And on receiving a negative reply, he added: "Well, come and see him for a moment. He has a great future before him.
The people who moved about seemed stumpy and sordid, the air seemed to smell rather dirty, there was a sense of many mean streets ramifying off into warrens of meanness. Now and again a great chocolate-and-yellow tramcar ground round a difficult bend under the hosiery factory.
Eight o'clock, or a bit after. I might be kept a little late." To her inexpressable thankfulness, Toby rather grumblingly agreed. "We'll go to the pictures," he said. "There's a picture house there." "Wherever you like. Toby, I must go." They kissed long and passionately; and when Sally was alone, sitting in the tramcar on its way to Holborn, she found that she was trembling from head to foot.
I think it's the swinging of the car prevents me getting the time, she said. 'These little outside things always come a victory over you, he laughed. 'Do they? she replied, smiling, bending her head against the wind. It was six o'clock in the evening. The sky was quite overcast, after a dim, warm day. The tramcar was leaping along southwards.
This means that they enter it as also do those who journey from London by tramcar at the Trophy Gate, and have before them at once, at the end of a broad gravel walk, the Outer Court and the rich red-brick medley of the Tudor buildings, to which the eye is led by the severely plain row of low barracks on the left, and a row of fine elms along the towing path on the right.
