Kirkwood, cheering them on with the same wild cry, followed to the farther street; and there paused, so winded and weak with laughter that he was fain to catch at a fence picket for support.
Once more they pushed on, but the snow was now several inches deep, and the ice very slippery and all of the party could scarcely drag one foot after the other. It was Sam who called another halt. "I'm getting winded!" he panted. "Boys, I guess we are lost in the snow." "That's true, Sam," said Frank. "The shore seems to be as far off as ever." "I told you that you were wrong," put in Tom.
So I stopped where I was and sat down quietly on a rock for a few minutes to recover my breath, for I had been pretty badly shaken and winded by my numerous tumbles. As soon as I felt better I got up again, and taking very particular care where I was treading, advanced on tiptoe with a delicacy that Agag might have envied.
Then some one remembered half a dozen forgotten things which it was impossible to do without, and it was nearly four o clock when our waggon arrived a springless vehicle with three narrow seats, and drawn by two broken winded steeds. After packing all our impedimenta in the waggon there was literally no room for us. What was to be done?
At first this was in their favor, being directly on their backs and sending them over the ice at a furious pace, but soon it shifted, first to the left and then to in front of them, and now further progress appeared out of the question. "I'm afraid we can't make it!" gasped Dick, turning to catch his breath. "I'm almost winded now." "I've got to stop," came from Sam. "I'm ready to drop."
But Joe had great faith in his parent, and clung to him closely. When they had covered a hundred yards or so, Dave glanced back, and seeing that Jack was n't pursuing them, stopped and chuckled at the others. "Eh?" Dad said, completely winded "Eh?" Then to Dave, when he got some breath: "Well, you ARE an ass of a fellow. What th' DEVIL did y' RUN f'?" "Wot did I run f'? What did YOU run f'?"
He had faced intolerable captivity, immediate death. Now around his eyes swam hot mist. He fell upon a sea chest, and for a little cared not for anything around, whilst down his cheeks would flow the tears. A hard chase. The rowers of the penteconter were well winded before they caught the Bozra.
At times his judgment was at fault; his constitutional humour came near playing havoc with his artistic sense. Not seldom he was long winded and laborious in his striving after comic effect.
'They have not winded him yet. I must tell Shere Khan who comes. We have him in a trap. He put his hands to his mouth and shouted down the ravine, it was almost like shouting down a tunnel, and the echoes jumped from rock to rock. After a long time there came back the drawling, sleepy snarl of a full-fed tiger just wakened.
Not so the large man with her, who was spent and winded. "Dear guides, dear friends of travellers! I am of your country. We seek two gentlemen crossing the Pass, who should have reached the Hospice this evening." "They have reached it, ma'amselle." "Thank Heaven! O thank Heaven!" "But, unhappily, they have gone on again. We are setting forth to seek them even now.
