"If Reuben Camp or the head-waiter don't bring back some of those tickets, I don't know what I shall do. I shall have to put chairs into the aisles and charge five dollars apiece for as many people as I can crowd in there.
The consul saw the ladies stiffening with indignation at this trespass upon their possible rights and probable privileges, and glanced at them warningly. "Do you mean to say that it is common property, and ANYBODY can go there?" demanded Miss Elsie scornfully. "No; it's only the hotel that owns the boat and gives the tickets a half-crown the passage."
"They have more than they can do now with the roast beef and coal and flannel petticoats that are really necessary."
