The Governor, who was still in London, wrote a letter full of tender solicitude and graceful compliment. The Clerk of the Rolls had arranged from the first that two telegrams should be sent to him daily, giving accounts of Philip's condition. At last the Clerk came in person, and threw Auntie Nan into tremors of nervousness by his noise and robustious-ness.
We have telegrams saying that surgeons are coming from Charleston and many other places, so I can very well be spared." When the doctor returned in the evening, he found, as he had anticipated, that Vincent was in a high state of fever. This continued four or five days, and then gradually passed off; and he woke up one morning perfectly conscious. His mother was sitting on a chair at the bedside.
And Cornish, casually looking in at the little office of the Malgamite Charity, where a German clerk recommended by Herr von Holzen kept the books of the scheme, found his table littered with telegrams. Tony Cornish had a reputation for being clever. He was, as a matter of fact, intelligent.
On the contrary, I should be astonished if one of these extravagant epistles came from anybody who had the least title to enter into correspondence." And there are people who believe, or who pretend to believe, that fallen human nature can be purged and amended by half-rate telegrams, and a telephone ringing in the hall.
Isabel said, "Certainly"; and much puzzled, got into the gondola, and went on board. As soon as she got down to the ships saloon, lo! there was her husband writing at a table. "Halloo!" he said; "what the devil are you doing here?" "Halloo!" she said; "what are you doing here?" And then they began to explain.

Shall see lady this afternoon and complete arrangements." I knew that the last sentence would annoy Titherington. I put it in for that purpose. Titherington had wantonly annoyed me. My other three telegrams were all to Lalage.
With crimson face and averted eyes, he handed her the letter, forgetting that telegrams existed. He saw her send a quick, puzzled glance from the letter to Sandy; he saw her turn away from the door and tear open the envelop; then, to his everlasting credit, he saw no more. When he ventured forth from behind his desk the office was empty.
Once past the rocks of emotion, they knew so well what to do, whom to send for; their hands were on all the ropes, they had grit as well as grittiness, and she valued grit enormously. They led a life that she could not attain to the outer life of "telegrams and anger," which had detonated when Helen and Paul had touched in June, and had detonated again the other week.

In nine days she had a severe attack of erysipelas. For a number of days she had quite a fight of faith, and we sent telegrams to The Trumpet Office twice.
A nurse was wheeling a perambulator along the pavement, a milkman's cart was making slow progress from door to door, a telegraph-boy was sauntering down the middle of the road whistling a popular air.
