"Ay t' Wayfarer's Tickle, when we load your skiff." "'Twill be alongside in a trice. But my wife's sick. I'm wantin' t' take the doctor ashore." "He's aft in the smokin'-room. You'd best speak t' the captain first. Hold her? Oh, sure, he'll hold her all night, for sickness!" They moved off forward.
"Yes, but you must keep your mind a perfect blank, or I can't do anything." She stood up tall and straight. The moonlight caught her grey hair and burnished it to an aureole of silver. With many grunts Sir Langham pulled himself out of his chair. "No smokin'-room, eh?" "Good night," Miss Ross said firmly, and left him.
She promised to arrange the matter shortly, and send some accredited representative to warn me when the psychological moment arrived. Where could I be found? 'Oh, I'll go and undress at once, I said. 'No, don't do that, sir; I cawn't get a bawth all in a minute, she told me. 'Perhaps you'd like to wite in the smokin'-room.
Ya-as.... After lunch Walen did his crowned-heads-of-Europe stunt in the smokin'-room here. He was long on Kings. And Continental crises. I do not pretend to follow British domestic politics, but in the aeroplane business a man has to know something of international possibilities. At present, you British are settin' in kimonoes on dynamite kegs.
Three or four hundherd men had begun to walk around th' ship with their hands folded behind thim. A poker game between four rale poker players an' a man that didn't know th' game but had sharp finger-nails was already started in th' smokin'-room. About that time I begun to have a quare sinsation.

"He looks like a beadle in a dissentin' church, with a long, skinny neck, a pasty face, and a cockney accent. I went to see him, and he talked like an underdone curate who had had a bad night. When he got off the ship, where he owed everybody, includin' the smokin'-room, he came to see me with some crazy papers for me to sign. He said then he had not a shillin', and I advised him to go to work.
'I was workin' along of Owen for Pushem and Sloggem about two year ago, and I seen 'im do a job down at the Royal 'Otel the smokin'-room ceilin' it was and I can tell you it looked a bloody treat! 'I've heard tell of it, said Harlow. 'There's no doubt Owen knows 'is work, remarked Easton, 'although 'e is a bit orf is onion about Socialism.
Pickwick and his faithful Sam Weller often alighted. But instead of using it for horses now, they use it for a smokin'-room for men; they can't use it for both of 'em, for horses don't want to go in there horses don't smoke; tobacco makes 'em sick sick as a snipe. Man is the only animal, so fur as I know, who can have tobacco in any shape put into his mouth without resentin' it, it is so nasty.
