Then, as the door opened, Mr. Cord's eyes concentrated on it and his manner became a shade sharper. "Ah, Mr. Moreton, good morning. Mr. Verriman Mr. Moreton." Ben was a good-looking young man, but it was his expression at once illuminated and determined that made him unusual.
"He thinks he's going to marry William Cord's daughter." Klein, who was Ben's friend as well as his assistant, blanched at the name. "Cord's daughter!" he exclaimed, and if he had said Jack-the-ripper's, he could not have expressed more horror. "Now isn't it queer," he went on, musingly, "that David, brought up as he has been, can see anything to attract him in a girl like that?"
"Yump, we hit it up after we struck the good going on the lake." "Seems kind of slow though, after driving an auto." "Yump, it does, at that. Say, how'd you make out with that Sphinx tire you got?" "Seems to hold out fine. Still, I don't know's I like it any better than the Roadeater Cord." "Yump, nothing better than a Roadeater. Especially the cord. The cord's lots better than the fabric."
But by the time he had reached the stairs he was master of himself again. Swiftly, for all his trembling fingers, he unfastened the cord's end from the newel-post. The wrench upon it had already pulled the bodkin from the wainscot.
Even Cord's calm was a little disturbed by this unexpected news. "Mr. Moreton!" he exclaimed. "Not not not not?" "No, sir," said Tomes, always in possession of accurate information. "His brother, I believe." "Show him in here," said Cord, and added to Eddie, as Tomes left the room: "Well, here he is the editor himself, Eddie. You can say it all to him."
If we cause a cord to vibrate in the water, we shall obtain a succession of waves, the velocity and size of which will be derived from the cord's size and the intensity of its action. These waves, which are visible upon the surface, constitute what I shall call mechanical waves.
"If we don't the wind will end by lifting off this roof, and destroying my glass." "Cord's broke," said Tom in a momentary lull of the wind. Then the roar began again, and the building quivered, while the shutter was lifted and beaten down again with a bang. Then, from somewhere out in the darkness, came a tremendous roaring crash, apparently very near.
Afterward, when the war was over and his terrible book, War, appeared, no one was pleased, for the excellent reason that it was published at a moment when the whole world wanted to forget war entirely. The pay of a private, however, had not allowed him to continue David's allowance, and so David, displaying unusual energy, had found a job for himself as tutor for the summer to William Cord's son.
Then with that one pitiful cry she sank among the close-pressing crowd; but her hands, by the cord's constraint, still lifted themselves as might a drowning swimmer's; and the grey horse the one other innocent creature in that procession plodded forward, dragging her now senseless body at the cart's tail. "You swine!" It does a man good sometimes to get in his blow.
I'll pack her off to-morrow, but you always look all right whatever you wear; that's some comfort." She saw that even this hadn't done much good, and, going to the heart of the problem, she asked, "How did your golf go?" Mr. Cord's gloom gathered as he answered, with resignation, "Oh, all right."
