The recent flooding rains had washed the road clear away in places, but we never stopped, we never slowed down for anything. We tore right along, over rocks, rubbish, gullies, open fields sometimes with one or two wheels on the ground, but generally with none. Every now and then that calm, good-natured madman would bend a majestic look over his shoulder at us and say, "Ah, you perceive?
It was just three o'clock. I begged Desarmoises to be my croupier, and I began to deal with due deliberation to eighteen or twenty punters, all professional gamblers. I took a new pack at every deal. By five o'clock I had lost money. We heard carriage wheels, and they said it was three Englishmen from Geneva, who were changing horses to go on to Chamberi. A moment after they came in, and I bowed.
I note that the car beside which I am standing is a "four-wheeler" by which is meant that it has only four wheels to each truck. I duck under the train and make for the rods, and I can tell you I am mighty glad that the train is standing still. It is the first time I have ever gone underneath on the Canadian Pacific, and the internal arrangements are new to me.
There's only a clod inside where once there was a bird." He stood with his head a little to the side, listening to the piper till the tune died, half accomplished, at a tavern door. Then the children and the bellowing kine had the world to themselves again. The sound of carriage wheels came from the Cross, and of the children calling loud for bridal bowl-money.
Noah's exclamation, as she dropped the bit of salsify she was scraping, and hurrying to the door, called out: "I say, you, sir, what made you drive up here, when I've said over and over again, that I wouldn't have wheels tearing up turf and gravel?" "I I beg your pardon.
There came a rush an upheaving of the waters, which flung her high into the darkness a blow that made her little bark quake in all its timbers a plunge a black rush of waters. She was hurled beneath the wheels of the steamer engulphed in utter darkness. It was her last struggle with the storm.
Oh yes, and by the way when they come well I'll tell that to Taylor. You go and see about the flowers and the chintz covers at once and my trunks immediately. You'd better come up yourself and unpack for me until Mason arrives." When once she heard the crunching wheels of the trap upon the drive, she rang her bell. Mason entered almost immediately. "Tell Taylor I want her here at once," said Mrs.
In case of danger, each corps commander should change this order of march, by having his advance and rear brigades unencumbered by wheels. The separate columns will start habitually at 7 a.m., and make about fifteen miles per day, unless otherwise fixed in orders. The army will forage liberally on the country during the march.
At length the carriage wheels were heard faintly over the soft, wet avenue and under the pouring rain. Old John, waiting in the hall to be ready to open the door in an instant, did so before the Iron King should leave the carriage, and hoisting a very large umbrella, he went out to the carriage door and held it over his master while they walked back to the house and entered the hall.
As this little dust-cloud came slowly nearer it might have been seen to rise from the wheels of a richly-built and well-appointed coach. Four dark horses obeyed the reins handled by a solemn-visaged lackey on the box, and there was a goodly footman at the back. Within the coach were two passengers such as might have set Sadler's Wells by the ears.
