A few times only, some one by about four o'clock would call: “Oh, gee! I'm dead; I've been workin' like a horse all day. I jus' can't work overtime to-night.” The chances were if one girl had been working like a horse we all had. Such was the interrelation of jobs at our table. Except, indeed, Italian Nancy.

It was ugly and thick, as if all the fog factories from Grand Manan to Labrador had been working overtime for the two weeks before and had sent their whole output in one consignment.

Rick watched him, anxious to see what his chief would say. He cuddled the spacemonk in his arms and stroked the silky head. "We'll have to put in plenty of overtime," Dick said finally. "I think we can make it all right, but it will put a load on the staff. What do you think, boys?" Rick joined in the chorus of yeas! If every other section could be ready, electronics would be, too.

"I thought I had the nightmare when I opened my eyes and saw old George standing there with a mouse in his mouth. He's working overtime. He should take a rest.
