gharry , also: gharri

I picked them up and went back to the waiting gharry.

In fact, I hired a local gharry and was driven back to lines.

A gharry or gharri is a horse-drawn cab used especially in India.

Amongst these was Rampur some seventy miles off and to be reached only by dak gharry.

A palkee gharry is shaped somewhat like a palanquin.

The interior of the gharry was in flames, filled with smoke and ghastly bloody things writhing about.

You were in a dak gharry and I just caught a glimpse of you.'

The captain, in turn, deserts his three officers, disappearing in a gharry, a horse-drawn cab.

He made no other movement, no gesture, no sign, and remained facing in the new direction after the gharry had swung out of sight.

He was not long absent, again shook my hand, and in another minute a sea of dust hid him and the gharry from my sight.

We went for a ride on a gharry and my wife upbraided the driver for clipping his pony with the whip.

Rightly calculating that it would thus take him several hours to cover the mile that separated him from the docks, he hailed a gharry.

Her family kept a permanent suite at Shepheard's, and Penrod rode beside her open gharry.

McCrimmon vaulted gracefully over the side of the gharry and collapsed in an inert heap in the gutter.

But it took some two or three days and nights of continuous travel in a dak gharry [carriage], before I reached Attock.

Another dak gharry waited, into which I got, lay down and went to sleep, not to waken until I reached Nowshera.

GHARRY Kind of horse-drawn cab.

The dak gharry is a fairly comfortable mode of conveyance, but one becomes tired of the eternal horizontal position in which it accomodates the weary traveller.

GHARRY-WALLAH Driver of a gharry.

If he had thoroughly understood the conditions, I concluded, he had better jump into the first gharry he could see and drive on to Stein's house for his final instructions.

Mounting, he enthroned himself on the collapsible hood and shouted ironic encouragement to the decrepit Jehu, who uselessly belaboured the ancient collection of skin and bones barely supported by the gharry's shafts.

A ramshackle gharry, all dust and venetian blinds, pulled up short opposite the group, and the driver, throwing up his right foot over his knee, gave himself up to the critical examination of his toes.

We had just finished our cheroots after breakfast, when the young officer's servant drove up in the same dak gharry which had brought me from Attock, and in a few minutes my cheerful host was shaking hands with me.

In a moment her eyes met mine with that keen, almost wild glance, which had so impressed me when I saw her out of the gharry, but in a moment they changed and beamed with pleasure and affectionate caresses.

There she enters a fine carriage, but soon discovers that she is in a gharry belonging to Samsthānaka, who remains enraged by her previous affront and is madly jealous of the love and favor she shows to Chārudatta.
