At noon it became calm, afterwards rainy, and in the evening the wind changed to the northwest, but continued still.... I slept very little last night in consequence of the noise. We had sailed during the night a little to the east, because our captain was afraid of falling on the island of Bus, as he was not much west of it, though according to our reckoning he was to the east of it.
The drum was shaped like a miniature conga, handmade with a skin head that was lashed tight. He rested it on his lap and watched cars drive in. Twelve or fifteen people got on the bus, most of them his age or younger, mostly women in twos and threes. Jennifer bounced in and sat beside him. "We'll pick up a few more on the way. There's another group coming down the coast. I hope it doesn't rain.
It astounded her to find herself a hundred yards gone from the house, nay, now upon the bus a mile and more away, recalling it, trembling and with her breath quickened. It was as if she had been engaged in a contest of wills, very fierce; nay, in a contest physical, a wrestling. She had not known, she told herself, that it was possible to hate so. That man! These men!
"Let's make some plans for to-morrow," exclaimed Mrs. Pitt. "What should you like to see first, Betty?" "I want to go somewhere on a bus!" was John's prompt answer, at which everybody laughed except Betty. "Oh, yes, but let's go to Westminster Abbey just as soon as possible, John. I've always wanted so much to see it, that I don't believe I can wait now.
Some are fairly near, of course a lot of her friends live in Regent's Park but sometimes I have to go quite a long way by bus. I don't mind that in summer, when it's light, but in winter it's horrid going about the lonely roads ... People speak to one...." Anthony Ross stepped from behind his easel. "And what do you do?" he asked.
"He was bound for the docks, and thence for the open sea, and I, that was bound for Tweedy's only, had to get out at the top of Cheapside. I know the 'bus conductor, a very honest man, and, in getting out, I slipped half a crown into his hand to give to the boy, with my blessing, at his journey's end.
Comer, if I don't land that Robinson-Ray contract, I won't come back. I I couldn't, after this. Maybe I'll drive a 'bus I hear they have a lot of them in London." "Suppose, for instance, you should get the job on a profitable basis; the biggest job this concern ever had and one of the biggest ever let anywhere " Mr. Comer's brow was wrinkled humorously. "What would you expect out of it?"
These buses once plied for hire upon the streets of London. Each bus is in charge of the identical pair of cross-talk comedians who controlled its destinies in more peaceful days.
Laurie walked in silence a few minutes, and Jo watched him, wishing she had held her tongue, for his eyes looked angry, though his lips smiled as if at her warnings. "Are you going to deliver lectures all the way home?" he asked presently. "Of course not. Why?" "Because if you are, I'll take a bus. If you're not, I'd like to walk with you and tell you something very interesting."
Carpenter, sitting in the seat behind us, must have realized by now the meaning of this scandalous adventure; but he said not a word, and the white-gowned Klansmen piled in behind him, and the siren shrieked out into the night, and the bus backed to the corner, and turned and sped off; and all the way to Eternal City, T-S and I and Old Joe slapped one another on the back and roared with laughter, and the rest of the Klansmen roared with laughter all save the Grand Imperial Kleagle, who sat by Carpenter's side, and was discovered to be weeping.
