So now thou knows the condeetions, Mary." The coat-tails by this time were simply acting in an unheard-of manner, while Mr. Lawson's not very stalwart back was strikingly erect his whole manner, in brief, was that of a man determined to bear the worst, should it come, as becomes a man.
When at last they arose, after an eloquent pause, John's spectacles were lying forlornly on the floor, his coat-tails once more were hanging in peace and quietness, his arm was around her, and he had the audacity to waggishly inform her that they were the best "condeetions" that he had made in his whole forty-five years of life.
"Wages again?" "Ay, and condeetions and the like." "But it is not six months since the last agreement was signed and that agreement is running still." "Ay, it is, but condeetions, conditions have changed since that date," said McNish, "and there must be readjustment at least, there is a feeling that way." "Readjustment? But I have had no hint of this in our meetings.

A somewhat embarrassed look came across Mary's face as she covertly glanced at the man of conditions, who was now looking anything but imposing. "And what may the condeetions be, Mr. Lawson?" There was a touch of wonder in her tone. Mr.
It may be there are some who regret a change that will put an end to their chances of tyraneezin'. It may be there are some who know themselves so shtupid that they fear the new condeetions of trade the railway's bound to bring." Here Wilson rose and whispered in his ear, and the people watched them, wondering what hint J. W. was passing to the Provost.
"Oh, are they indeed?" the swing of the coat-tails was now nothing less than phenomenal "then, Miss Mary Tiffin," he continued, as bravely as he could, throwing out his chin a little more as he continued to look past her, "that means, I suppose, that thou doesn't agree to the condeetions, and that thy answer again to me is No?" Facing quickly about, he began to march independently to the door.
