"I must fly over to the garden and have a look at those potatoes," Mrs. Ladybug thought. "It's always a pleasure to see flourishing crops." Before she found time to spare for her visit to the garden a traveler entered the orchard one day. At least, he had every appearance of having come from other parts. For he carried a traveling bag an old-fashioned carpetbag and he seemed to have lost his way.
She wants the doll that David left in that carpetbag of hers he forgot to take out of the 'Handsome cab. She wants to be loved, and she wants to grow up and write poetry for the newspapers," he announced. "Also she will eat a piece of bread and butter and a glass of milk, as soon as it can conveniently be provided for her." "When did you take holy orders, Gram?" Jimmie inquired.
By this time Andy was in the house, holding his cap in one hand, and his carpetbag in the other. "Do you feel tired?" asked Priscilla. "Yes, ma'am." "Then, perhaps you would like to go to bed?" "I would, if it's just the same to you, ma'am." "Very well, follow me, and I will show you your room. Sophia, perhaps you had better come, too." They went up the front stairs.
"One day the schooner was off in an out-of-the way part of the ocean, and the skipper come up from down below, bringing one of the photographing bottles from the carpetbag. "'See 'ere, says he to Rosy, who was swabbing decks just to keep him out of mischief, 'w'at kind of a developer stuff is this? It has a mighty familiar smell. "'That ain't developer, sir, answers Rosy, meek as usual.
"That's the pumpin'-station," said the "Captain," rising and laying hold of the handles of the carpetbag. "Drop that. You can't leave this car till I give the word," said Shorty, rising as the train stopped, and putting himself in the door. "Can't, eh?" said the "Captain," with a look of rage as he comprehended the situation. His dirk came out and opened with a wicked snap.
Go ahead!" said Robert. When the boy got through, he cast a speculative glance at the carpetbag. "Smash yer baggage?" le asked. "What's that?" "Carry yer bag." "Do you know of any good, cheap hotel where I can put up?" asked Robert. "Eu-ro-pean hotel?" said the urchin, accenting the second syllable. "What kind of a hotel is that?" "You take a room, and get your grub where you like."
I have no petty legal business there is nothing in it. If I cannot have millionaires for clients I do not want any. The old idea that the young country lawyer could shove a pair of socks into his carpetbag, come to the great city, hang out his shingle and build up a practice has long since been completely exploded. The best he can do now is to find a clerkship at twelve hundred dollars a year.
A glance at Ben's carpetbag indicated that he had come in answer to the advertisement, and he was received very graciously. "Come in," said the man in the chair, smiling affably. "This is the office of Fitch & Ferguson. I am Mr. Fitch." "My name is Stanton-Ben Stanton," said our hero. "I wrote you from Hampton about your advertisement."
He attempted to dash across the street, but was compelled to turn back, after being nearly run over. "I wish I could get hold of the young rascal!" he exclaimed indignantly. "Who do you mane, Johnny?" asked a boy at his side. "A boy has run off with my carpetbag," said Robert. "I know him. It's Jim Malone." "Do you know where I can find him?" asked Robert, eagerly.
"Well, just then there comes a yell from the bushes along the shore. Then another yell and a most tremendous cracking and smashing. Then out of them bushes comes tearing a little man with spectacles and a black enamel-cloth carpetbag, heaving sand like a steam-shovel and seemingly trying his best to fly.
