Bingle strained his ears to catch Kathleen's reply, and it was such that his face brightened; he afterwards sidled up to her and stroked her hair with loving, gentle fingers. There was one rather large, cumbersome pasteboard box in the corner, which Diggs passed up to him the last of all. "Don't open it till to-morrow, Mr.
Then, on Wednesday evening, at Miss Eunice's "tea-party," which of necessity was held indoors, now that darkness came early and the nights were chill, the girls of the two classes covered pasteboard stars, crosses, crowns, and monograms with leaves and mosses neatly stitched on bound rich yellow wheat stalks into sheaves, and made plumes and tassels of dried grasses and seeds.
"Let me take your hood and shawl, won't you?" "Waal, while I set; is the babby's well as usual?" with a keen glance at the little fellow, who was happily dragging a pasteboard cart on spool wheels about the floor. "Very well, thank you; and grows so fast! He walks nicely now, and can say 'Monnie, and 'Mawta, and 'Wawa, that's me, besides several other words." "H'm; got any flannils onto him?"
I had seen in one of the library drawers a pasteboard box just the size. I dropped my card into the bottom, neatly fitted in the bouquet, and went in search of Mike. He winked cheeringly, and said he would do it "as clane as a whistle. Divil a man can see, but the angels, and they won't tell." "Very well, Mike. Here's a dollar for you. You'll find the box on the hat-rack in the hall."
In the best bedroom the bedstead is a tubular half-tester, the toilet-ware gold and white, the carpet again tapestry. Throughout the house the furniture is made of cedar. The kitchen is summarily disposed of; Biddy has to content herself with d table, dresser, safe, pasteboard and rolling-pin, and a couple of chairs.
One is left; the box is for that. The plaster of the ceiling is held up with pasteboard patches. I know the story of that attic. It is one of cruel desertion. The woman's husband is even now living in plenty with the creature for whom he forsook her, not a dozen blocks away, while she "keeps the home together for the childer."
She took the slip of white pasteboard handed her. On it was written in pencil "Room 708." The building was a skyscraper down-town. "What is it?" she asked half indignantly, "a new scheme to sell bonds?" "No, no, Miss Strong," he cried, "it is nothing like that. It is a great opportunity to do an important service for America." "How did you know my name?"
In the course of my long life I have, alas! seen vice and folly dressed in so many different fashions, that I can find no difficulty in detecting them under any disguise; but your unpractised eyes are almost as easily deceived as when you were five years old, and when you could not believe that your pasteboard nun was the same person in her various changes of attire.
She had cut a well-shaped frame out of pasteboard, with a long, narrow piece bent back to serve as support. The frame was covered with putty, and into the putty she fastened her shells. They were of different sizes, shapes, and colors, and she was laying them on in a pretty pattern of stars and crescents.
You have no right to go on page after page calling me names, as it were, right in the middle of my own book in this way behind my back, you! hundreds and thousands of miles away from me, by your own lamp, by your own window you come to me here between these two helpless pasteboard covers where I cannot get out at you, where I cannot answer back, and you say that I am trying to improve you!
