There was her uncle saying, 'Well, Hal, here we are! and she was lifted out and set on the platform, with gas all round. Her uncle was saying, 'We didn't get away in time for the express, and a young man was answering, 'We'd better put Dolly into the waggonette at once. Then I'll see to the luggage.
The women who were peeping into the tent and the men who were helping them forsook that pleasing occupation and made for the platform at a double quick trot. Many voices said, "yon's them." Looking along the road toward the town black with the coming crowd, I saw a waggonette drawn by four horses, gallant greys, coming along at a spanking pace.
Baptista's boxes were packed, and one Saturday morning she departed by a waggonette to the station, and thence by train to Pen-zephyr, from which port she was, as usual, to cross the water immediately to her home, and become Mr Heddegan's wife on the Wednesday of the week following. She might have returned a week sooner.
Somehow, he contrived to be talking of Christmas. Only a person of Samuel's native clumsiness would have mentioned Christmas in July. "You know you'll spend Christmas with us!" said he into the waggonette. "Indeed I shan't!" replied Mrs. Baines. "Aunt Harriet and I will expect you at Axe. We've already settled that." Mr. Povey bridled. "Oh no!" he protested, hurt by this summariness.
John Stanway had called at the chemist's in the Market Place and had given a circumstantial description of an accident to Bran.

You know where to find me," he said, turning to John and Walter. "You'll look after my wife and Miss Tucker, won't you?" and forthwith he and Teddy jumped into a waggonette and drove away. "Well, that's what I calls cheek," said Sarah. "Going off by himself in a waggonette and leaving us to foot it." "He must look after his place on the 'ill or else he'll do no betting," said Journeyman.
The grimy and impassive old house perhaps heard her heart saying: "Only yesterday they were little girls, ever so tiny, and now " The driving-off of a waggonette can be a dreadful thing. "Well," said Mr. Povey, rising from the rocking-chair that in a previous age had been John Baines's, "I've got to make a start some time, so I may as well begin now!" And he went from the parlour into the shop.
Otis had telegraphed for a waggonette to meet them, and they started on their drive in high spirits. It was a lovely July evening, and the air was delicate with the scent of the pine-woods. Now and then they heard a wood pigeon brooding over its own sweet voice, or saw, deep in the rustling fern, the burnished breast of the pheasant.
Here he pushed aside with a smothered 'Damn! the footman, who stood holding open the door of the waggonette, and officiously gave the Duke of Lumpton a hand to help him into the carriage. "Now, Lord Mawdenham, please! You next, Mr. Longford! Come, come, Mr. Adderley! Think of Lady Elizabeth! She will be arriving at the Hall before we are there to receive her! Terrible, terrible! Come along!
When Mac. and Mrs Spencer arrived with the waggonette Doc. Wild was in his shirt-sleeves, his Chinese silk coat having gone for bandages. The lower half of Job's trouser-leg and his 'lastic-side boot lay on the ground, neatly cut off, and his bandaged leg was sandwiched between two strips of bark, with grass stuffed in the hollows, and bound by saddle-straps.
