Excerpt from The Lively City O' Ligg: A Cycle of Modern Fairy Tales for City Children, With Fifty-Three Illustrations

The Hansom, with a terrible jerk, threw his shaft upward and tossed the horse high into the air.

The Cab Wheels began to revolve, and they began to sail up the river like a new sort Of Steamboat. (heading) The last thing the Hansom saw Of the mill it was disappearing into the forest, a half mile away.

The Locomotive hoisted the Steamboat on top of his cab, and set out across the fields. (coloured) At midnight the Locomotive got on board the Steamboat, and she steamed slowly up the river. (heading) The Balloon then rose, and the Locomotive and the Steamboat were hoisted high in the air.
