"He's worth several thousand to me alive," replied Langdon, with which enigmatic retort he dropped behind to see how Muskwa was riding. The cub was rolling and pitching about in his pannier like a raw amateur in a howdab on an elephant's back, and after contemplating him for a few moments Langdon caught up with Bruce again.
She looked at him. "Something for you." "Specially for me?" "Specially for you." "Hidden in the folds of the green. Where are we going first?" "To the ruins." He was carrying their lunch in a straw pannier slung over his shoulder. "We'll lunch in the house of Nero, and rest there." "That sounds rather dreadful, Dion." "Wait till you see it." "I can't imagine that monster in Elis."
Poor old man! his heart was breaking; but his soul was so brightly comforted that there, where many, many long miles off, I see him standing, desolate and patient, in the corner of yon crowded market- place, holding Sir Isaac by slackened string with listless hand Sir Isaac unshorn, travel-stained, draggled, with drooping head and melancholy eyes yea, as I see him there, jostled by the crowd, to whom, now and then, pointing to that huge pannier on his arm, filled with some homely pedlar wares, he mechanically mutters, "Buy" yea, I say, verily, as I see him thus, I cannot draw near in pity I see what the crowd does not the shadow of an angel's wing over his grey head; and I stand reverentially aloof, with bated breath and bended knee.
On this they sometimes drag home their sheaves, but often convey them home in a kind of open pannier, or frame of sticks, upon the horse's back. Johnson's Works, ix. 76. 'The young Laird of Col has attempted what no islander perhaps ever thought on. He has begun a road capable of a wheel-carriage. He has carried it about a mile. Ib. p. 128.
But the next day came a Lydian in his train, with a goodly pannier of rich stuffs and a short Spartan sword.
About nine in the morning a strong ghiblee got up, increasing till it became so violent that we encamped at once, not venturing to expose the slaves to this killing simoum. Covering up my face and mouth, I put my head into a pannier. I was almost suffocated it is true, still it was better than exposing myself to the searching flame of this furnace wind.
In his cowhide pannier rode Muskwa. Langdon was satisfied and happy. "It was the best hunt of my life," he said to Bruce. "I'll never be sorry we let him live." "You're the doctor," said Bruce rather irreverently. "If I had my way about it his hide would be back there on Dishpan. Almost any tourist down on the line of rail would jump for it at a hundred dollars."
The eyes of the children all turned towards their mother; their mother smiled, and immediately their father called in the basket-woman, and desired her to produce her CURIOSITIES. The children gathered round her large pannier as it opened, but they did not touch any of her things.
For the rest, her dress was severely plain in its simplicity: the snow-white kerchief, crossed in front and made fast behind; the under-petticoat of gray homespun, just showing the black hose and buckled shoes beneath; and the over-dress of sombre black or dark brown, puffed out a little over the hips in the pannier fashion, but without any pretence at following the extravagances of the day.
This was intolerable to him at first; he ground his teeth, rolled on the ground, and leaped about in a frantic manner, trying in vain to release himself. They left the pannier on his back night and day, and only allowed him to eat what he had previously put into it.
