Fenelby had quite a sum in his pockets, and sometimes he had hard work to make his car-fare money last through the week. But one thing he never neglected was to bring home to his wife a box of bon-bons every Saturday evening, and one of the things that Mrs. Fenelby flaunted before her female friends was the fact that although she had been married for five years Tom never missed the box of candy.
It's tramping up and down the streets to save car-fare does it. He's never got a heel to his name. But he's going to be able to buy some new ones next week." Hutchinson began his tramp again. "He'll miss thee, Little Ann; but so'll the other lads, for that matter." "He'll know to-night whether Mr. Galton's going to let him keep his work. I do hope he will. I believe he'd begin to get on."
What if her mother, with one short word, should close forever the gates of joy and boat-birds? But Mrs. Gonorowsky met her small daughter's elaborate plea with the simple question: "Who pays you the car-fare?" "Does it need car-fare to go?" faltered Eva. "Sure does it," answered her mother. "I don't know how much, but some it needs. Who pays it?" "Patrick ain't said."
The next year some of them suggested that, as God had helped them through so marvelously the first year, we should purpose twice as much. I received sufficient money to pay the $200 by Thanksgiving, a month sooner than I had paid the $100 the year before. We often had to trust the Lord for car-fare, and many times it came to us in remarkable ways.
A man is considered mean if he does not pay the car-fare of his girl companion; a girl will allow a man who is merely a "friend" to take her to the theatre, fetching her and taking her home in a carriage hired at exorbitant rates. This is all very delightful for her, but to him it means ruin. And at the end he may find that she was only flirting with him.
"Exactly; and with car-fare and sandwiches, and the champagne supplied free by the importers, for the advertisement, it cost them exactly twelve dollars and was set down as the jolliest affair of the season," said I. "I call that genius of a pretty high order. I wouldn't pity them if I were you. They're happy." "Mrs. Innitt, though I envy her," said Henriette; "that is, in a way.
"What is car-fare to New Haven or to anywhere, to Him?" "But," I replied materially, "you haven't any car-fare when you go there how do you actually get it? Who gives it to you? Give me one instance." "Why, it was only last week, brother, that a woman wrote me from Maiden, Massachusetts, wanting me to come and see her. She's very sick with consumption, and she thought she was going to die.
"Anthony!" she called after him, "hadn't you better leave two dollars with me? You'll only need car-fare." The outer door slammed he had pretended not to hear her. She stood for a moment looking after him; then she went into the bathroom among her tragic unguents and began preparations for washing her hair.
Now he spends his old age watching this blackboard, and considers it a good day that brings him five dollars and his car-fare. At one end of the low-ceiled apartment are busy clerks behind a counter, alert and cheerful. If one should go through a side door and down a passage he might encounter the smell of rum.
We whacked this up, shared it, and sometimes loaned all of what was left of it when one of us needed it for some more gorgeous girl-adventure, such as car-fare out to Blair's Park and back twenty cents, bang, just like that; and ice-cream for two thirty cents; or tamales in a tamale-parlour, which came cheaper and which for two cost only twenty cents. I did not mind this money meagreness.
