I knew he would be the most careful boy in every suicide he committed. If I'd been a life-insurance company it wouldn't have counted against him so much as the coffee habit or going without rubbers. And sure enough about two months later the dead one come to life.
"Nothing will satisfy a child but finding the place where they can get the dirtiest and make the most trouble. Why didn't you wear your rubbers, you naughty girl?" "Why why it wasn't raining." "Raining! Those rubbers are to keep your feet dry. Haven't you got any sense?" Jewel looked a little pale. "I didn't know I should get wet in the brook," she answered.
If she'd paid me I'd have bought a pair of rubbers. But she didn't pay me. She said she'd let me have the money next week." "Next week! You need it this minute. How much does she owe you?" "Four seventy-five for these last things, and four twenty-five for those I made last week. I don't know what I'm going to do." The woman's hands, cold and stiff, twisted nervously.
In a world of impending chaos the brilliantly lighted office was a tiny refuge to which she clung. At last she put on her coat and rubbers, faring forth reluctantly into the wet. At first when she entered the bedroom she thought it empty, though the gas was burning, and them she saw Lise lying face downward on the bed. For a moment she stood still, then closed the door softly. "Lise," she said.
But the skies cleared before night, and when the auto was stopped the children could run about with their rubbers on. They were near a small town, and Mrs. Brown promised to take the children in after the meal to see if they could buy some grain or seeds for Fluffy.

"Are you crazy, Annie?" "I have on my black skirt, and I will wear rubbers," said Annie, quietly. "I want some fresh air." "I should think you had enough fresh air.
"Bless my rubbers, yes!" agreed Mr. Damon. The sky was covered with lowering clouds, and there were occasionally flurries of snow. Tom's airship was well above the snow line on the mountains.

Although his partner did not perhaps observe it, for he was but an indifferent player, or if he did observe it, had the politeness not to say anything, the major now played very badly. He lost three rubbers one after another, and, with bets and stakes, they amounted to one hundred and forty pounds.
I have dined with the magnificent H s and their Roman Senator has announced me at the door; although, when he asked my name in the hall, I thought at first in my ignorance that he gave me directions about my rubbers. No one has faced more forks and knives, or has apportioned his implements with nicer discrimination among the meats.
