It is the body of which roads are the arms and legs, a trivial or quadrivial place, the thoroughfare and ordinary of travellers. The word is from the Latin villa, which, together with via, a way, or more anciently ved and vella, Varro derives from veho, to carry, because the villa is the place to and from which things are carried. They who got their living by teaming were said vellaturam facere.
Wherefore also the peasants say vea for via, deriving their word for the road over which they haul from the name of the vehicle in which they do the hauling, vectura, and by the same derivation vella for villa, the farm house to and from which they haul.

We'll be careful very careful you bet!
As may be imagined, both Andra and Avella were much concerned, though neither would admit it to the other or, for that matter, to any one else. Only once Andra, clinging to her sister, whispered timidly: "Sup suppose this poor chap never does revive, Vella? How will we ever know?" "We've got to know, Andra. Got to that's all I can say!"
It will give us time to show you boys about the city a bit. And we're so glad you got back safe and are in time. Besides, tonight is going to be the big time for you boys." "You are right, Vella." Andra smiled roguishly. "Mr. Erwin has been so curious. He's always wanting to know."
