You have no time to go back, and there is no place open to go into, and you have therefore no recourse but to go forward. You arrive at the office. . . . You wander into the booking office. . . . There stands the identical book-keeper in the same position, as if he had not moved since you saw him yesterday.
What Mr Bunker’s arrangement with the booking clerk had been was never quite clear, but certainly the erring husband failed to make his appearance at all, and at the last fall of the curtain she was easily persuaded to let the Baron escort her home.
What could I mean except that you have outgrown your job?" "You mean " "I mean that I am going to officially place you in charge of the booking department at well, your own idea of salary." "I I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything." "You can't know " "I do know."
She had always declined Pinto's offer to share his own, and of late he had got out of the habit of inviting her. She dressed and took a taxi to the Orpheum.

Wherefore the Barrymores that was the name they called themselves, though I am inclined to doubt their legal right to it the Barrymores altered their booking and went with Casey to Lund.
It was agreed that she should secure the steamer booking, lest Kirkwood be delayed until the last moment. These arrangements concluded, the pair of blessed idiots sat steeped in melancholy silence, avoiding each other's eyes, until the train drew in at the Gare Centrale, Calais.
She left behind her many puzzled hotel managers and booking agents: for it was not usual for a beautiful young woman to go about the world, inquiring for a blond man with a parrot.

Over these heart-breaking disappointments she uttered no complaint.
