Life was like a journey in an express train with no communication-cord.
My communication-cord and my air-pipe led up between the barrels, to outer safety; but what of that?
I tried to signal with the communication-cord, but it was caught somewhere in that congregation of oil-barrels.
He eyes the communication-cord and, when we reach the station, hurries away.
The blood raced and beat in the veins of his neck and forehead, while he waited dumbly for the communication-cord to be pulled.
