For an instant the old man gazed at her in an amazement which turned quickly to a wrath of almost crazily blazing eyes, and his utterance came with a violence of fury.
There is a section of New York which rays out rather crazily from old Jefferson Market and Night Court in spokes of small streets that seem to run at haphazard angles each to the other that less sooty part of Greenwich not yet invaded by the Middle West in search of bohemia.
Alden watched her despairingly until the hem of her white gown was lost at the turn of the stairs. Then he sat down with the paper, but he could not read, for the words zig-zagged crazily along the page. Madame understood and sincerely pitied them both, but there seemed to be nothing to say.
"No," she thought, "he never gives up what he wants." She looked out of the window. The flickers of gas-lamps fell intermittently through it upon her.

The two-story wooden houses with corridor and verandah across the face of the second story, painted in bright colors, leaned crazily out across the streets. Narrow and mysterious alleys led between them. Ancient cathedrals and churches stood gray with age before the grass-grown plazas.
"There is no knowing what these young ruffians will do to me." In vain he tried to increase his pace. It could not be done. Every step cost him an effort and it seemed that he could not take another.
