"Reckon you're elected, Apple. Brick can't ride it, an' I can't run more 'n one at a time." "Well, I'll not get far ahead of you. I'll keep you in sight, anyway." Riding triumphantly on the driver's seat with Chick-chick made the return journey very different from the miserable trip Glen had made inside the car, bound and gagged, and horribly jolted at every irregularity of the road.
The Federation was farther from Meloa than from this planet. He'd been forced to depend on the same accounts Duke had read in the papers on board the ship. Then Duke glanced at the date on the current paper idly, and his thoughts jolted completely out of focus. It was dated only three days later than the paper he had seen when they were docked on Clovis!
'Good business, said Scott, heartily. 'Going to get off at Umballa, I suppose, and go up to Simla. Who'll she stay with there? 'No-o; that's just the trouble of it. She's going down with me. Scott sat bolt upright under the oil lamp as the train jolted past Tarn-Taran station. 'What! You don't mean you couldn't afford 'Oh, I'd have scraped up the money somehow.
She stiffened a little, as though bracing herself for a verbal encounter. "You'll get used to it. I expected you to be jolted at the first shock of it. I was, myself when the idea came to me." Buck passed a frenzied forefinger under his collar, as though it had suddenly grown too tight for him. "Used to it! I don't want to get used to it! It's preposterous! You can't be serious!
It is probable that his sudden weight jolted the plank out of its position. For hardly was he safe on the turf again when he heard a sharp cry. Throwing a look behind, he saw his pursuer totter, clutch at the slipping timber, and, still clutching at it, turn a somersault and disappear. Tristram ran on. Then a series of shouts rang in his ear, and he looked behind again.
It was long and rank, hiding the ruts and hollows in the trail; but after stopping a while for dinner in the shadow of a bluff, they jolted on, and in the afternoon they reached a smoother track. Crossing a low rise, they saw a wide stretch of wheat beneath them, with a house and other buildings near its margin. "That," said George, "is Sylvia's farm."
Her next sensation was of half-sitting, half-lying in an uneasy arm-chair a chair which jolted, slid and swung, and then again glided smoothly. There was something hairy over her face, and she drew her breath with difficulty. She was in a car the weight on her face was the hairy side of a rug. Movement seemed impossible, and the fur now and then hurt her eyes.
Thence the first half-battalion were brought to Kunur in steamers. The second wing since the need was urgent and the steamers few were jolted across the desert from Railhead on camels, an experience for which neither their training nor their clothes had prepared them. By the 16th the whole force was concentrated at Kunur, and on the following day they were reviewed by the Sirdar.
"He never lost his grip; but he got it butt downward for a moment too long. Maybe it was I that pulled the trigger. Maybe we just jolted it off between us. Anyhow, he got both barrels in the face, and there I was, staring down at all that was left of Ted Baldwin. I'd recognized him in the township, and again when he sprang for me; but his own mother wouldn't recognize him as I saw him then.
Any one would think that being lost on a mountain was an every-day occurrence with you. That is the difference between sixteen and forty-six, I suppose. My poor old nerves rebel at being jolted in such casual fashion." Bob smiled. "We're fit as two fighting cocks to-day, Father," he declared. "In fact, this very minute we're going out to help David collect sap.
