I need you in my business. He rose. 'Think it over, laddie, and let me know tomorrow. Look here upon this picture, and on that. As a sleuth you are poor. You couldn't detect a bass-drum in a telephone-booth. You have no future. You are merely among those present. But as a mascot my boy, you're the only thing in sight. You can't help succeeding on the stage. You don't have to know how to act.
"Wait for me a minute," he told his son. "I want to telephone Daney on a little matter I overlooked this afternoon." He entered the telephone-booth in the station and called up Andrew Daney. "McKaye speaking," he announced. "I've just discovered Donald has an enemy that Greek, Chirakes, from Darrow. Did Dirty Dan come in from the woods to-night?" "I believe he did.
"Wanted on the telephone." "Will you wait for me here just a second?" asked the officer. "I don't know whether I will or not," was the spirited answer; "I may go home." "Then I'll follow you," said the Captain as he pushed his way through the crowd to the telephone-booth.
Paul eagerly questioned her with a glance as she approached. "Well, he fell for it," she announced, toughly, then added, "just as you fell for his dictagraph game with the girl." There was just a bit of jealousy yet in the tone of Dora. She was not yet convinced of her complete triumph over Eva.

He allowed no loitering; he waved the girls away, sent the waiter scurrying with his bill, helped Robert secure hat and stick, and then dove into a telephone-booth as a woodchuck enters its hole. When he had disposed his three charges inside a taxi-cab he disappeared briefly, to return with a basket of champagne upon his arm.
He had promised to telephone to Tanis that evening, and now it was melodramatically impossible. He prowled about the telephone, impulsively thrusting out a hand to lift the receiver, but never quite daring to risk it. Nor could he find a reason for slipping down to the drug store on Smith Street, with its telephone-booth.
He was tempted to take them out, there in the telephone-booth, and examine them for a clue. The circumstances justified him. But he had promised the girl! Stronger than his curiosity, stronger almost than his wish to deliver the papers, was his desire to keep that promise. It may have been foolish, quixotic; but he resolved to continue as he had begun.
This will show her that you are really desirous of calling upon her and she will probably say, "Well, I think I am free Thursday night, but you had better telephone me first." On Thursday morning, therefore, you should go to a public telephone-booth in order to call the young lady's house.
I stepped into a telephone-booth and called the house. Edith answered herself. I recognized her quick staccato "Hello." I replied, "Hello, that you, Edith?" "Yes. Who is this?" she called. "Ruth," I answered feebly. "Ruth! Where in the world are you?" she answered. "Oh, I'm all right. I'm down here at the station. Just arrived. I'm perfectly all right," I assured her. "Well, well," she exclaimed.
