In a very short run we came to a place where we were to get on board the rail-cars.

This was a clean new sight to me.

About a dozen big stages hung on to one machine.

After a good deal of fuss we all got seated and moved slowly off; the engine wheezing as though she had the tizzic.

By-and-by, she began to take short breaths, and away we went, with a blue streak after us.
