Roughing It - Mark Twain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | The captain said she was a "bully" boat, and all she wanted was more "shear" and a bigger wheel. |
 | | It was drawn by six handsome horses, and by the side of the driver sat the "conductor," the legitimate captain of the craft; for it was his business to take charge and care of the mails, baggage, express matter, and passengers. |
 | | He is just like any other rabbit, except that he is from one third to twice as large, has longer legs in proportion to his size, and has the most preposterous ears that ever were mounted on any creature but a jackass. |
