That youth subsided into a heavy doze in the cab, and so continued till the arrival at No. 7, Devereux Buildings, where a capable-looking maid-servant opened the door, and he was deposited into her hands, the Vicar leaving his card with his present address, but feeling equal to nothing more, and hardly able to speak. He drove home, finding his nephew in the doorway.
A slim, capable-looking racer slid from the garage, and the Colonel and a couple of aides came down where the boys still stood grouped beside the stone wall. Beany held a flattened bullet in his hand. It had struck beside him. "If it hadn't been for you and your rock, young man, I would have been a dead man probably," said the Colonel solemnly. "I wish we had the car number."
Of course, when one thinks a little further, one knows that this cannot be true, and that the men and the women who gathered by these glib, trim, capable-looking modern tombstones were as full of love and tenderness and reverence before their dead as the others were but the lines on the stones give no sign.
Just there we crossed a bridge and our driver pulled up. "The man you came to see lives here," he said. "The house is ahead, up the next hill." "The man" must have seen us coming, for the door opened and he came through the trees, a youngish, capable-looking person who said he was the same to whom we had written that is to say, Westbury William C. Westbury, of Brook Ridge, Fairfield County.
The inflammation, however, clearly required medical advice. In the midst of his ruefulness the doctor, a capable-looking man of five and thirty, entered the room. He examined the heel and ankle with professional scrutiny. Then he raised his head. "Have you been treating it in any way?" "Yes," said Sypher, "with the Cure." "What Cure?" "Why, Sypher's Cure."
"That is true, I have only been with my aunt about six months; she is growing old, and wants some one to help her," answered Mademoiselle Henriette, a most brisk, capable-looking little personage, "but I daresay she will recollect you. Are you all alone? Have you come far to-day?" "Not very far," said Madelon, colouring up, and suddenly recalled to the present.
Some man, please some doctor. Is there one here?" "Some of the servants ill?" asked Mrs. Reeves, kindly. "Doctor Remson, will you come?" The pleasant-faced capable-looking woman paused only until Doctor Remson joined her, and the two went into the hall, the waiter following slowly. In a moment I heard a shriek, a wild scream.
But, to return to my berth which, by the way, I was often loth to do, owing to the confined air below, and the fresh glorious breezes on deck the man who slept under me was a young banker, a clerk, going out to the Cape to make his fortune, and a fine capable-looking fellow he was, inclined rather to be receptive than communicative.
The employees were not over-courteous at any time, and, although in theory callers announced themselves by telephone before going up-stairs, this was a custom generally honored in the breach. No question, therefore, was raised when a heavily built, capable-looking man, with large hands and feet, inquired for Miss Lynn's room-number and stepped into the elevator without declaring his business.
I followed in her wake to the door. Even at the eleventh hour I hoped for a respite. 'Couldn't something be arranged? I faltered as my gaze wandered hungrily over her capable-looking form. 'We might get you a gas-cooker and all that. Do not condemn me. Remember that my will had been weakened by housework; six months of doing my own washing-up had brought me to my knees.
