The latter explained the leakage at once, and by the time we had regulated matters the water carts arrived, and once more we filled the boxes and started the brakes. After wheezing and sputtering a moment, a slight stream appeared at the nozzle of the hose. It was greeted with yells of laughter, not only from those who were passing water in buckets, but even the soldiers joined in the cries.
And let me tell you this, young man; you're a new concern and we're an old one. We'll crush you like THAT!" He crisped an envelope vindictively, and threw it in the waste-basket. "Crush ahead," replied Thorpe with great good humor. "Good-day, Mr. Morrison," and the two went out. Wallace was sputtering and trembling with nervous excitement.
"How do you do this morning?" she answered, without looking up. Ellen replied she felt a great deal better. "Slept warm, did you?" said Miss Fortune, as she set the pan back on the fire. And Ellen could hardly answer. "Quite warm, Maam," when the hissing and sputtering began again, as loud as ever. "I must wait," thought Ellen, "till this is over, before I say what I want to.
