Broadway, seen through the cab windows, was bright enough, a blaze of flashing signs and illuminated shop windows. But th street, at the foot of which the wharves of the Trans-Atlantic Steamship Company were located, was black and dismal. It was by no means deserted, however. Before and behind and beside us were other cabs and automobiles bound in the same direction.
The sea was not very unpropitious, the wind seemed stationary in the northeast, the sails were hoisted, and the Henrietta ploughed across the waves like a real trans-Atlantic steamer. Passepartout was delighted. His master's last exploit, the consequences of which he ignored, enchanted him. Never had the crew seen so jolly and dexterous a fellow.
Constance had read the article in question, and, immediately after doing so, had dispatched an order to London for the French sociological work therein discussed. Pillow-propped at her morning studies, the humourist of Pont Street, as she glanced rapidly over the close-printed pages of a trans-Atlantic monthly, had her eye caught by the word "bio-sociological."
Burke had done that in nine hours on the trial trip of his trans-Atlantic monoplane. If the machine was in order and Burke started in the morning he would be with them by sunset, if he didn't get lost. But Bennie knew that Burke could drive his machine by dead reckoning and strike within a few leagues of a target a thousand miles away.
Henceforth, to borrow the figure of a contemporary journalist, Cuba was to be the trans-Atlantic Turkey, trembling to its fall, but sustained by the jealousies of those who were eager to share the spoils.
Single, highly-favoured individuals, not only in England but in other countries cis- and trans-Atlantic, enjoy incomes equal to more than half the amount of Elizabeth's annual budget.

Their hostess, an elderly lady of great social gifts and immense volubility, appeared, having for her escort a tall, well-groomed man of youthful middle-age, with the square jaw and humorous gleam in his grey eyes of the best trans-Atlantic type. Lady Amesbury beamed upon them all. "Just the people I was looking for!" she exclaimed. "I want you all to know my great friend, Mr.
I love them, in that the graceful hind conceals her timid fawn among the ferns that wave on the lone banks of many a nameless rill, threading their hills, untrodden save by the miner, or the infrequent huntsman's foot in that the noble stag frays oftentimes his antlers against their giant trees in that the mighty bear lies hushed in grim repose amid their tangled swamps in that their bushy dingles resound nightly to the long-drawn howl of the gaunt famished wolf in that the lynx and wild-cat yet mark their prey from the pine branches in that the ruffed grouse drums, the woodcock bleats, and the quail chirrups from every height or hollow in that, more strange to tell, the noblest game of trans-atlantic fowl, the glorious turkey although, like angels' visits, they be indeed but few and far between yet spread their bronzed tails to the sun, and swell and gobble in their most secret wilds.
What with Trans- Continental and Trans-Atlantic and Southern Pacific, and Wall Street, and Rate Bills, and Washington I feel like Atlas shouldering the world."
