Or is it the excellent opportunity for social life offered by this convenient apartment-house that attracts? The purple grackles are a garrulous, gossipy set, as every one knows. They are able-bodied, not particularly fond of fish, and inclined to seek the neighborhood of man, rather than to come out here away from him. They make very good American rooks.
Finally a brilliant thought struck her just as she was on the verge of distraction, with Ogla-Moga's big eyes fastened on her all the while. There was the janitor of the apartment-house. He might easily be induced to take a boarder, and he would be discreet. Ogla-Moga could be kept in retirement in his rooms. She would act at once upon the idea. And yet what was she to say?
He longed, that evening, to see Tanis Judique, to be strengthened by her sympathy. When all the family were up-stairs he got as far as telephoning to her apartment-house, but he was agitated about it and when the janitor answered he blurted, "Nev' mind I'll call later," and hung up the receiver.
"John!" she cried, "doesn't it seem sinful to sail away in a 'royal suite' and leave this beautiful flat empty?" Over the telephone John was having trouble with the drug clerk. "No!" he explained, "I'm not seasick now. The medicine I want is to be taken later. I know I'm speaking from the Pavonia; but the Pavonia isn't a ship; it's an apartment-house." He turned to Millie.
My old friend, grateful for favors received and wishing to do me a good turn consented to become my accomplice in another er innocent deception. I gave my friends the address and telephone number of the apartment-house, living the while myself in surroundings of a somewhat humbler and less expensive character. I called every morning for letters.
"I have an apartment-house in mind," he told her. "That would be very large and very high, no doubt," she guessed, looking pleased. "It's the only kind that would pay," Johnny Gamble hastily assured her. "It would be expensive no suite less than three thousand a year and nobody allowed to do anything." "I'll consider the matter," she said musingly.
But you might have tried!" "Well, here I've come for my lesson, and you might just as well prepare to have me stay for supper!" They both laughed in a manner which indicated that of course he didn't mean it. "But first I guess I better look at that leak." She climbed with him to the flat roof of the apartment-house a detached world of slatted wooden walks, clotheslines, water-tank in a penthouse.
A big apartment-house stands there now, I noticed as I was walking out here this afternoon the `Verema, it is called, absurdly enough!" "Ray Vilas lives there," volunteered Hedrick, not altering his position. "Vilas?" said the visitor politely, with a casual recollection that the name had been once or twice emphasized by the youth at dinner. "I don't remember Vilas among the old names here."
It was quite true that at fifty-seven he was not a thing of beauty, but he had a heart of gold and was beloved by all the men and children who knew him. Certainly it is quite doubtful if he could have been all this had he married even the woman of his choice. One day there came to the big apartment-house where lived Mr. Hamshaw and his two servants a most uncommon hullabaloo and sensation.
Now, if we had stopped there, all would have been well, but Fate tempted us in the person of a vile and nasty little curly white dog, with a pink skin and a blue ribbon around her neck, whose mistress used to lead her up and down in front of our apartment-house every evening.
