Such a one soon appeared and took a comprehensive glance of the passenger as he took off his overshoes. "Passenger for the 'Ontario," explained the innocent young man. "Take the passenger over to the ship," said the energetic one, decidedly. "We will send luggage after you. How much have you?"
"If that's a rubber plant, Russ," he demanded, "where's the rubbers? I don't see any overshoes on it. What part of it is rubber?" At that the black man threw back his head and laughed loudly. The children all watched his open mouth and rolling eyes and flashing teeth and finally they broke into laughter too. They could not help it.
We leave in forty minutes!" Aubrey looked up with interest. "I heard you at the telephone. You are a crazy little cat," he said, but I could see that he was charmed. We love to do crazy things. "He's going to meet us at the station with a carriage," I explained as I struggled into my coat with Mary's help, and Aubrey pawed madly around in the dark closet for overshoes for both of us.
"Don't be discouraged," said Captain Raymond, sportively; "the waves are often higher than ever after the wind has subsided." "Oh, papa, may I go too?" Grace said, in a pleading tone. "Yes; if you put on your waterproof cloak and overshoes it will not hurt you to be out for a short time," answered the indulgent father. "Lulu, don't go without yours."

He heard the murmur of voices in the drawing-room, and the sympathetic tones of the women who were pitying the men. Van Bibber pulled on his overshoes and a great-coat that covered him from his ears to his ankles, and dashed out into the snow. The dog had just enough spirit left to try and dodge him, and with a leap to one side went off again across the lawn.
She had as usual brought out her little fur cap with its red ribbon ties and deposited it with her gloves upon the table, and having arranged her mantle near the fire, and put her overshoes in a warm place upon the hearth, she seated herself by the window, just opposite her mother who has taking her afternoon nap in an easy chair.

This the doctor opened mechanically, kicking aside a pile of muddy overshoes. Inside, on the shelves, were whiskey glasses and decanters, lemons, sugar, and bitters.
When one post burned down to the end, we stuck in another. It seemed to us that they burned awfully fast, and that the store was getting colder and colder.
