On and on went one taxicab after the other. Fifty-fifth Street was passed and still the first turnout kept well in the lead. But then a big furniture van appeared out of a side street and the cab ahead had to slow down. "Now is your chance!" cried Dick. "Run up alongside of 'em!" His driver did as requested. But then came a mix-up, as two more cabs appeared, and Dick's was caught between them.
My father was a physician, more respected than employed; for it was generally supposed, and justly, that he was more devoted to chemical experiment and philosophical speculation than to the ordinary routine of his profession. It was quite natural, that, in course of time, another physician should come to dash by, with fine turnout, my father's humble gig; and such, indeed, was the result.
"Under the present condition of affairs, my dear countess, I may as well make a clean breast of it," rejoined the duke, with touching abandon. "That I may not fatigue my valuable horses for they did cost me enormously I hire a carriage for the evening. This is a great point of economy, for it is always a risk to take out a valuable turnout at night."
Her turnout was magnificent. The frame of the carriage was of dead gilt, while above the burnished wheels rose its body, in shape and color like the wonderful lily of the Amazon. Its exterior of snowy whiteness was relieved by the rich coloring of the arms of Carignan and Soissons emblazoned on the panels; the interior was cushioned with purple velvet embroidered in gold.
He had been eyeing the new buggy speculatively, and at last he spoke of it in that admiring tone which warms the heart of the listener. "Some turnout, Estan," he summed up. "But you ought to be driving an automobile. All your friends are getting them." Estan lifted his shoulders in true Spanish fashion and smiled. "No, amigo. Me, I can take pleasure yet from horses.
Dash me, if it weren't a swell turnout! horse, coachman, and all, in real slap-up style. It waited so long that I thought it had taken root there." "Come, get on! Was there any one inside?" "I should think there was! I twigged him at once, by the description you gave me.
The result was that the izvostchiki never expected custom from any one except the servants of the wealthy, and none but the shabbiest sledges in town ever waited there for engagements. Accordingly, my turnout was very shabby, and the gendarmes could not have been impressed with respect by it.
He's doing a job of carpentering." "Can you tell me where?" "Up to the Widow Fallow's place. Take you there for ten cents." "Very well," and our hero jumped into the rickety turnout which went by the name of the Millville stage. The drive was not a long one and soon they came to a halt in front of a residence where a man wearing a carpenter's apron was mending a broken-down porch.
But the glory of the thing think of that, my boy! What a triumph it will be to revolutionize Murkey's! to turnout the drinkers and smokers, and money-changers; to say, 'Hem! my brethren, let us pay no more taxes to sin in this place! There shall be no more cakes and ale.
A runner of each turnout was smashed, and the occupants of the other sleigh came tumbling in upon the lads in great confusion. "Great Caesar! what's this?" groaned Tom as he shifted a weight from his shoulders, and then he stared in amazement as he found himself confronted by Nellie Laning! "Tom Rover!" burst from the girl's lips soon as she could recover her breath. "Did you ever!"
