But it has a lot of racehorse and distillery money in it and when it gets poked up by anything unusual it takes a gulp of its own alcoholic atmosphere and runs away on its own track at a two-five gait, shedding moss as it goes. It hasn't had a real joy-race for a long time and I felt that it needed it. I rolled over and laughed into my pillow.
We can drop off when they slow down at Downers Crossing; that must be almost opposite Lost Island. It's hard going through the swamps to get to Plum Run, but I guess we're good for it." They made the two-five with about three seconds to spare. Their car was empty, so each dropped into a seat and sprawled out comfortably.

"I knows wun respectable man with two teams wot's seed the time he'd emp'y a double-barr'll gun on them two fellers jis' same's if they was wild dogs," remarked Price ominously. "I happen ter mind me o' wun time this man hed ter fetch hees las' wool right on ter Deniliquin, f'm Hay, f'r two-five hextry, 'count o' there bein' no river that season.

"What did the doctor tell you?" she asked at last. "He told me I could go up to London by the two-five," I said. "Is that all?" "Dr. McMurtrie," I reminded her, "is never recklessly communicative." Then I paused. "Still I should like to know the reason for the change of programme," I added. She raised her head and glanced half nervously, half defiantly at the door.

Fifty-nine of the men of the fourth class were dropped for failing to keep up to the two-five standard. And one of these was Midshipman Brimmer.
