But, to their joy, they found only a small break in the motor. That was what caused it to stop, and also put the dynamo out of commission. "We can easily fix that," Tom declared. "Bless my coffee-spoon!" cried Mr. Damon, who seemed to be running to table accessories in his blessings. Perhaps it was because it was so near supper time. "Bless my coffee-spoon! But how did it happen?"
"Touching the jolly old masterpiece," he said, "how about it? I think it's time we hoisted it up somewhere." Lucille fiddled pensively with her coffee-spoon. "Archie, dear," she said, "I've been thinking." "And a very good thing to do," said Archie. "I've often meant to do it myself when I got a bit of time." "About that picture, I mean. Did you know it was father's birthday to-morrow?"
The secretary put a few drops into a coffee-spoon, lifting it to his nose and then to his mouth: the drink had the smell and taste of vitriol. Meanwhile Lachaussee went up to the secretary and told him he knew what it must be: one of the councillor's valets had taken a dose of medicine that morning, and without noticing he must have brought the very glass his companion had used.
"Abellino Kárpáthy." "Oh, 'tis he, then!" exclaimed Fanny, with a peculiar, a very peculiar smile. "Then you know him?" "I have seen him once, a long way off."

You hinted there was something on your mind something worrying the old bean and I'm waiting to hear what it is." Bill fiddled a moment with his coffee-spoon. "I'm in an awful hole," he said at last. "What's the trouble?" "It's about that darned girl!" Archie blinked. "What!"
The father, looking at the table-cloth, at times playing with his coffee-spoon, made no comment. "And that first night I saw that Jasper Ewold had met me somewhere before.
