"Let us find a ladder and rope; quick " At a paint-shop around the corner a ladder was found that reached to the second story, and some one procured a rope. "A thousand dollars," cried another familiar voice, "to the man who saves that woman!" Looking round, Dennis saw the burly form of Mr.
She discovered that an old acquaintance of his had offered him an eighteen-dollar-a-week job as a clerk in a retail paint-shop, till he should find something better. Mr. Schwirtz was scornful about it, and his scorn, which had once intimidated Una, became grotesquely absurd to her. Then the hotel-manager came with a curt ultimatum: "Pay up or get out," he said. Mr.
He made up his mind that he must stop gambling and find something to do. He had long since abandoned his work at the paint-shop, but at this time he returned there and asked for his old occupation. They laughed in his face. Was that the way he thought they did business? Not much; another man had his job, a much better man and one who was regular, who could be depended on.
For a few moments Geary was silent, watching Vandover curiously, as he sat in a heap on the edge of the chair, fumbling his greenish hat, looking about the floor. Presently he asked: "When did you lose your job at the paint-shop?" "Day before yesterday." "And you are out of work now?" "Yes," answered Vandover. "I'm broke; I haven't a cent. I'm blest if I know how I'm to get along.
This did not suit Sawkins at all. He said he had been told to take them to the Destructor, and he was going to do so. He was dragging the cart out of the yard when Crass rushed up and lifted the bundle off and carried it into the paint-shop.
In the paint-shop he was quite at home. He was assisted by the two seamen the most skilled with the brush, while he did the drawing himself. The large atlas of the world, a very expensive work, belonging to the commander, supplied accurate maps on a small scale, and these were transferred to the canvas, eight feet square. During the voyage to Cyprus three of these maps had been finished.
It mostly consists of what in Victoria would be called shanties huts built of wood and canvas some of the larger of them being labelled "Saloon," "Eating-house," "Drug-store," "Paint-shop," and such like. If one might judge by the number of people thronging the drinking-houses, the place may be pronounced prosperous.
At about five minutes to twelve Hunter went down to the paint-shop the scullery where Crass was mixing some colour, and getting ready some 'empties' to be taken to the yard. 'I suppose the b r's gone to ask Crass which of us is the least use, whispered Harlow to Easton. 'I wouldn't be surprised if it was you and me, for two, replied the latter in the same tone.
He illustrates his meaning by the analogy of paint as it appears in a paint-shop and as it appears in a picture: in the one case it is just "saleable matter," while in the other it "performs a spiritual function. He does not believe in the supposed immediate certainty of thought. The use of the phrase "pure experience" in both essays points to a lingering influence of idealism.
I slouched on, and dwelt upon all this, and there was not as much as a spark of bitterness or malice or envy in my mind. I halted at a paint-shop and gazed into the window. I tried to read the labels on a couple of the tins, but it was too dark.
