And two of them so little they can't even dress themselves alone! And there are all their meals their baths and the older ones going uptown to school! I can't let them go way uptown on the 'bus or the trolley without a maid " "But, Edith!" he interrupted, his face contracting with distress. "Don't you see that they can't go to school?" She turned on him.
And you dropped it in the bus, and I picked it up, and you were rather rude to me, which proved that you either had no suspicions about me, or knew it all and wanted to throw me off my guard. I believe you were actually laughing at me the last few hours in Manila. I couldn't understand, unless you had things rigged to trip me the minute we sailed.
The next day I went along to the bus station feeling a bit peeved to think that I was the owner of an unused return half ticket and was prepared for a minor confrontation but to my surprise the bus company offered me, without the slightest murmur, half the cost of the original fare.
Suddenly Nancy realized that the big man in front of her was roaring her name in stentorian tones. "Oh, oh!" she gasped. "I'm Miss Nelson." "All right. Here she is, Jim! Right this way to the 'bus. Where's your check, Miss? All right. Have the trunk and bag up some time to-night if they are here." "They should have come on the earlier train," explained Nancy. "All right.
"Why not take a 'bus?" said he. "The air grows more delicious." "Why not, indeed?" she answered. "Except that I shall be so late getting home. And it will keep you late for your dinner." "So it will," he said. "To say nothing of your dinner. I know you had only sandwiches and tea for lunch. You have told me that when you go home you make yourself a chafing-dish supper.
The outsides of the vehicles were covered with all sorts of gay advertisements and signs, in bright and vivid colors; in this way, and in their tremendous numbers, they differ from the New York buses on Fifth Avenue. "To-night, we will take you out for a ride on top of a bus if you like, John," said Philip.
There is even a suspicion in you such is your distemper that it is too much a witch's cauldron in the kitchen, "eye of newt, and toe of frog," and you spy and poke upon your food. Bus boys bear off the crockery as though they were apprenticed to a juggler and were only at the beginning of their art. Waiters bawl strange messages to the cook.
He was much impressed with the picture of the East Side Crowd at first, but looking at one of Fifth Avenue in a snow storm, the battered, shabby bus pulled by a team of lean, unkempt, bony horses, he paused, struck by its force. He liked the delineation of swirling, wind-driven snow.
I remember now that I noticed that the bus was getting a little out of plumb with the bar all this last watch. I didn't pay much attention to it, as I couldn't see anything out of the way. Nothing but a sun could be big enough to raise all this disturbance, and I can't see any close enough to be afraid of, can you?" "No, and I cannot see the Steel space-car, either. Look sharp."
He drew a long breath as we heard Miss Draper the name I had heard the 'bus driver give her going down the stairs. "If I get a chance to talk to her today I'm going to make her promise to save that rig to pose in. She's the exact image of what I want. And graceful! 'Grace by name and grace by nature. The old saw certainly holds good in her case." I did not answer him.
