In that city where his active life began, it was to finish. A long walk was before him, for Cleveland was seventeen miles away. He stopped to rest at intervals, and it was not until the sun had set and darkness enveloped the town that he entered it with weary feet. He betook himself to a cheap boarding-place whither he had been directed, and soon retired to bed.
Phyllis Braithwaite's mind, as she picked her way down the bedraggled street, wandered innocently off in a dream-place full of roses, till the muddy marble steps of her boarding-place gleamed sloppily before her through the foggy rain. She sat up late that night, doing improving things to the white net waist that went with her best suit, which was black.
I'm on my way home now to stay over Sunday." The train whistled, and Allen looked out into the darkness. "We're coming to the crossing. Now, I can't go up to the boarding-place when you do, but I'll give you directions, and you tell the landlady I sent you, and it'll be all right. Allen, you remember Herman Allen."
Come round, and we will sit over the fire, and chat like old friends." "Thank you, Oscar," said Harry, irresistibly attracted by his bright and lively acquaintance, "I shall enjoy calling. I have made no acquaintances yet, and I feel lonely." "I have got over that," said Oscar. "I am used to being away from home and don't mind it." The two boys walked together to Oscar's boarding-place.
First thing is to find a boarding-place where we can work in a couple o' books on the bill." "Well, I don't know about that, but I'm going to look up a place a brakeman gave me a pointer on." "All right; here goes!" Scarcely any one was stirring on the streets. The wind was pitilessly cold, though not strong. The snow under their feet cried out with a note like glass and steel.
I remarked that the laundress might reasonably feel some gratitude to me for adding weekly to her curtailed income; but my smiling directrice shook her head. The favor, it appeared, was all on the other side. So, although I had tipped the many girls of my unique boarding-place with pleasure I parted with the sum designated for my patronizing laundress with no grace whatever.
Severance secured a boarding-place for me for the rest of the winter; and paid my board, amounting to thirty-three dollars, from the funds of the society. I lived quietly by myself; studied six hours daily at home, with four dictionaries by me; attending six lectures a day, and going in the evening for three hours to the dissecting-rooms.
He stopped in his dressing to say, "We've struck a great boarding-place, hey?" "Looks like it." "I begin t' cotton to the old lady a'ready. Good 'eal like mother used t' be 'fore she broke down. Didn't the old lady have a time of it raisin' me? Phewee! Patient! Job wasn't a patchin'. But the test is goin' t' come on the biscuit; if her biscuit comes up t' mother's I'm hern till death."
We will instruct you in the duties." "Very well, sir; I accept it with thanks." "Of course it is necessary that you should be honest and reliable. But upon those points I have no doubt. Your face speaks for you." "Thank you, sir. When do you wish me to begin my duties?" "To-morrow. I suppose you are not as yet provided with a boarding-place.
It was nearly ten o'clock when Paul once more stood before the door of Mr. Preston's boarding-place. He rang the bell and asked to see him. "You have been here before this evening?" said the servant. "Yes." "Then you know the room. You can walk right up." Paul went upstairs and knocked at Mr. Preston's room. He was bidden to come in, and did so. Mr. Preston looked up with surprise.
