The weather" and here he gave a little involuntary shudder "is getting warmer. We'd better get it down into the cellar. I'll see if the way is clear." The servants were all busy in the upper part of the house, and we succeeded in getting the trunk down into the cellar unobserved, stowing it away temporarily in an empty coal-bin.
A rich harvest of golden ears was waving in his corn-field; and his comfortable cabin, in all respects as comfortable as the one he had left, was ready to receive its inmates. He soon gathered in his harvest, and was thus amply supplied with bread for the winter. Fuel, directly at his hand, was abundant, and thus, as we may say, his coal-bin was full.
The cold woodshed became a chantry on the New England coast, the alley the wintry sea soon to embrace our ship, the saw-horses which stood between a coal-bin on one side and unused stalls filled with rubbish and kindling on the other the ways; the yard behind the lattice fence became a backwater, the flapping clothes the sails of ships that took refuge there on Mondays and Tuesdays.
All I want of you is to help me out of here." "I am not a burglar." "Oh, I understand, sir; I understand completely. A gentleman is always a gentleman, sir. Now, you can return to that coal-bin. I was just about to make for it when you lit that candle." "Why not leave by the cellar-doors?" "I have my reasons, sir; most satisfactory reasons, sir. I prefer the window.

On the landing in the second or middle stories of the three-storied houses there is a bathroom, supplied with hot and cold water from the kitchen above.
It is difficult to write stylistically a per-annum report of 1,327 curvatures of the spine, whereas the poor specific little vertebra of Mamie O'Grady, daughter to Lou, your laundress, whose alcoholic husband once invaded your very own basement and attempted to strangle her in the coal-bin, can instantly create an apron bazaar in the church vestry-rooms.
We need not then concern ourselves in a Vergilian biography with the tale that Arrius or Clodius or Claudius or Milienus Toro chased the poet into a coal-bin or ducked him into the river. The shepherds of the poem are typical characters made to pass through the typical experiences of times of distress. The first Eclogue, Tityre tu, is even more general than the ninth in its application.
It reached Rose through the basement coal-bin, and she was carried out and sent to the Gouverneur Hospital. There she lies, unable to move, and the tenement wonders what is amiss that it has lost its old spirits. It has not even anything left to swear at. The cat took the kosher meat. It was Christmas Eve over on the East Side. Darkness was closing in on a cold, hard day.
