He could have understood "gush," and sentimentalism, but this attitude of which he had neither heard nor read bothered him until one day he had a sudden, flash of enlightenment. "Is it class-consciousness?" He asked the question of Gora, who dropped in upon a class at Alexina's or Aileen's sometimes on a free afternoon, and with whom he was walking down to the trolley car. "Something like that.
The best way to get there, I was further informed, was by gharri, which I found to be a small trolley, having two seats placed back to back under a little canopy and running on narrow rails which are laid through the principal street of the town.
Sure enough, the Saturday afternoon shoppers, a larger crowd than usual for many farmers drove in on the last day of the week to make their purchases, were beginning to be attracted by the sight of the two girls on the trolley tracks. "How could you be so silly!" cried Nina in vexation. "Look at all the rubes if there is anything I detest, it is to be made conspicuous."

It had been issued after nine o'clock in the evening, somewhere on the line between New York and West Sedgwick.
At intervals of half a minute the fireman opened the furnace door; and by the flare of light from the white-hot fire-box the engine-driver could see the men on the teetering trolley, the motor-man, the conductor, the sheriff, and his deputy.
