Ruth Fielding stood up suddenly in the car and shrieked to him: "Come here! This way! Roberto!" "My goodness! is he a friend of yours, Ruthie?" gasped Tom Cameron. "He's the Gypsy boy that saved Uncle Jabez," returned Ruth, in a breath. "Take him aboard do!" urged Helen. "That awful dog " Roberto had heard and leaped for the running-board of the car. Tom switched on the power.
On rushed the airship, and the man who had probably started the fire, glanced up at it. Tom suddenly turned the lens of his Wizard Camera toward him. The mechanism inside, which had been stopped, started clicking again, as the young inventor switched on the electric current. "What are you doing?" cried Ned, as he guided the airship toward the shop, whence clouds of smoke were rolling.
I must have fallen into a tortured sleep, I was awakened by the sound of my alarm buzzer. Someone was tampering with my door! Then the buzzer ceased; the marauder outside must have found a way of silencing it. But it had done its work awakened me. I had switched off the light; my cubby was Stygian black. A heat cylinder was in the bunk-bracket over my head.
Very likely Monohan had put her in that class, in his secret thought. She was glad when the evening ended, and the Howards left her at her own doorstep. On the carpet where it had been thrust by the postman under the door, a white square caught her eye, and she picked it up before she switched on the light.
Your approach course is one-nine-seven corrected. Reduce speed to minimum thrust and approach spaceport nine landing-deck three. End transmission!" Tom stood on the dais of the traffic-control room and switched the Antares beam to one of his assistants at the monitors in the control room.
"What's the matter with it? It's all right." "It is not! It's hideous. We can afford to give your patients a better place. And it would be good business." She felt tremendously politic. "Rats! I don't worry about the business. You look here now: As I told you Just because I like to tuck a few dollars away, I'll be switched if I'll stand for your thinking I'm nothing but a dollar-chasing "
Settling herself down to a review of her past as a preliminary to the consideration of her future, and hunting in it to begin with for any justification of that distressing word tawdry, the next thing she knew was that she wasn't thinking about this at all, but had somehow switched on to Mr. Wilkins. Well, Mr. Wilkins was quite easy to think about, though not pleasant.
Then they switched the call from the pinnace over to his screen, and Prince Simon Bentrik was looking out of it. "I'm glad to see you! Your wife and son are here, worried about you, but safe and well." He turned to shout to somebody to find young Count Steven of Ravary and tell him to tell his mother. "How are you?"
Now and again the student would take a glass rod, dip it for an instant into the boiling liquid, and, lifting it, would allow the liquid drop by drop to fall from the rod on to a strip of litmus paper. What he saw was evidently satisfactory, and presently he turned out the Bunsen lamp, walked to the window and opened it, and switched on an electric fan to aid the process of ventilation.
But she also worked regularly in the laboratory now, calling it at his suggestion the lab, and stumbling no more over the word. She wore a neat overall with tight sleeves and her hair plainly dressed under a little white, pleated cap. She never now caught anything with her sleeve and switched it off the table; she never let anything drop, and was a most judicious duster and wiper-up.
