The fighting strength of a python is in the driving blow of his head backed by all the strength and weight of his body.
The Jungle Book, p. 56 · B2
And yet here was Matthew Cuthbert, at half-past three on the afternoon of a busy day, placidly driving over the hollow and up the hill; moreover, he wore a white collar and his best suit of clothes, which was plain proof that he was going out of Avonlea; and he had the buggy and the sorrel mare, which betokened that he was going a considerable distance.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 2 · C1
Matthew, dressed up with a white collar and driving in a buggy, was something that didn’t happen often.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 2 · C1
“He doesn’t generally go to town this time of year and he _never_ visits; if he’d run out of turnip seed he wouldn’t dress up and take the buggy to go for more; he wasn’t driving fast enough to be going for a doctor.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 3 · C1
