"She took the last bus to Edentown.

It would provoke the comment that I heard the other night as two ladies in evening dress left a bus in a pouring rain.

Every day, except Sundays, for the next 15 days I followed the same routine which was: wake up at 6 a.m or so, eat a hot breakfast of idlis, sambar, dosas, vadas or whatever was cooked for breakfast, carry a hot packed lunch which Aunty Sagu prepared for me and catch a bus by 7 a.m. from Ashok Pillar to Panagal where I had to change buses and get on one going to New College.

We stayed in the trenches an hour or two, and then all went back to a spot a couple of miles away and had tea, after which we mounted the motor-bus and drove back home to our village.

I'm driving this bus for hours and hours every day.

Frozen with horror, helpless in the fell clutch of circumstance, he sat inert and beheld himself guide the new bus over the sidewalk and through the neat white picket fence of the Dodwell place.

Charlie didn't seem to care much for it at fust, but he didn't raise no objection; and when the gal got up to go he stopped the bus for 'er by poking the driver in the back, and they all got off together.

I recall that on my second day, I had entered a bus and rushed for an empty seat.

In the morning my cousin Reggie took me on his scooter to the bus station where we saw a bus about to depart for Goa.

He bought a bus pass valid for the rest of November.

He rode the city bus into Waikiki, the Filson bag on his lap, and rented a room for a week on Kuhio Avenuea concrete block room with a four foot lanai, a tiny refrigerator, and a hot plate.

"I did bring the old 'bus down here, but I had a boy meet me and take it away.

Every day, except Sundays, for the next 15 days I followed the same routine which was: wake up at 6 a.m or so, eat a hot breakfast of idlis, sambar, dosas, vadas or whatever was cooked for breakfast, carry a hot packed lunch which Aunty Sagu prepared for me and catch a bus by 7 a.m. from Ashok Pillar to Panagal where I had to change buses and get on one going to New College.

"Here's the girl who got us here!" said Betty to Bob, when the group of cadets met their bus at the athletic field where several cars were drawn up on the sidelines.

About a dozen hotel omnibuses met the train, from which only three passengers alighted; the other two were a young married couple at whom I would not have looked twice, though we all boarded the same lucky 'bus, had not the young man stared very hard at me.

That in itself was amazing temerity for one who had flown just long enough to justify him in piloting an aero bus in a dead calm.

I suppose from all accounts he must have dropped her a hundred feet plumb, side-slipped and got into a spinning dive and only pulled the old bus out again when the furrows in a ploughed field below them had grown easily countable.

I allas pitied the poor old cuss; He was mighty hard driv and terrible thin, And many a time when he quit the 'bus I've led the mis'rable creetur in And giv him a reg'lar bang-up feed That the Company thought he didn't need.

The Paris of the rumbling, roaring auto buses, and the honking horns, and the shrill cries, and the mad confusion faded away.

Four minutes later there is a stamping of fat men in heavy overcoats round the brightly varnished 'bus.

The wheels were in the loose sand within a foot of a deep ditch, and the least thing would have sent the bus flying over on to its side into the field beyond; and on both occasions, while we looked at one another in despair, a team of huge Flemish horses appeared from nowhere in the darkness and dragged us clear.

Think of an inky night, the Germans close at hand, and every half-hour or so a desperate struggle to shoulder a heavily loaded London bus out of a ditch, and you may have some faint idea of the nightmare we passed through.

" "You ought to start your 'bus on the search for the happy shore," said Mr. Russell.

He told me how his driver turned the 'bus in what he called 'The spice of 'arf a crown,' and plunged into a side street.

He told me in the most vivid terms how a bomb fell in the street in front of his 'bus, blowing the preceding 'bus to atoms.
