On his way to the statue he came to the line of rocks where he had hidden himself to get Athor's likeness, and looked down into the quarry opposite him. He was astonished to see at the ledge, just below, a great water-cart with three humped oxen attached. The water-bearers were grouped about it and a Hebrew youth was drawing off the water in skins and jars.
"This looks like bringing the waggon lines over the canal," said the adjutant, showing the major the following wire from the staff captain: "Good spring at V 201 b 2.7. Water-cart filling-point being arranged. Approaches good for water-carts. Troughs now in order at V 202 c 8.5." Another message of the same tenor, having to do with gun repairs, ran
There were few people in the streets. The perspiration collected under his hat, and his feet ached so in his patent leather shoes that he was tempted to walk after the water-cart and bathe them in the sparkling shower. Several hansoms passed, but they were engaged. Nor was the parson at home.
It was through this throng of seething khaki and transport traffic that our water-cart jostled and pushed. Often we had to pull up to let the Indian Pack-mule Corps pass, and it was at one of these halts that I happened to come close to one of these dusky soldiers waiting calmly by the side of his mules.
Wheels of a water-cart grumbled sleepily against the gravel. Moving through the sunlit shadows of the Row, riders were returning from their early morning gallop. They were still together just the two of them. They were romantically self-conscious of the domestic appearance which their twoness caused.
"What is the meaning of this?" he cried, as soon as the door was opened. "I was to be set free from all the dangers of life; and here have I been run down by that self-same water-cart, and my leg is broken." "Dear me!" said the physician. "This is very sad. But I perceive I must explain to you the action of my paint.
Fortunately it was a misty morning, and we could wander about on top, though we did have one or two shrapnel bursts over us. We then discovered that our valises and stores were still floating in the water-cart emplacement the Sikhs having turned tail when the storm broke. It was six weeks later when we opened our valises.
Even the finest character is the safer so he supposed for some moulding and direction in its first contact with the world, if it is to come through the ordeal unscathed and unbesmirched. And to ask such moulding and direction of Henrietta Frayling was about as useful as asking a humming-bird to draw a water-cart.
It came up yesterday evening on a water-cart from the wagon-lines to a scene a little in contrast. It's a fortnight to-day since I left England, and already I've seen action. Things move quickly in this game, and it is a game one which brings out both the best and the worst qualities in a man.
On off days, during the cold weather in Calcutta, Mr. Milton, who was a dealer and owner of large livery stables, used to invite the riding community to hunt jackals with his "bobbery pack." The meet took place at the stables before daylight, and the "hounds" were carried to covert in a sort of water-cart.
