About the soda-water bar in the drug store near the Hotel Cecil many American tourists found solace in the sirups and creams of home. Through the open windows of the Piccadilly tea shops you might catch glimpses of the English consuming quarts of hot tea in order to become cool. It is a paradox they swear by.
"She shot it," he said, calmly, but with twitching lips. "Shot it!" Five voices made up the incredulous echo. "What with?" demanded Weary when he got his breath. "With my rifle. I brought it out from town today. Bert Rogers had left it at the barber shop for me." "Gee whiz! And them creams hating a gun like poison! She didn't shoot from the rig, did she?" "Yes," said Chip, "she did.
He wished her well with all his heart; such is the human heart that he wished her arrived home the bretrothed of that excellent, that wholly unobjectionable young man, Mr. Morton. "Will you have a little of the ice before your coffee?" asked Mrs. Bowen, proposing one of the moulded creams with her spoon. "Yes, thank you. Perhaps I will take it in place of the coffee.
The creams circled fearsomely up to the platform and stood quivering with eagerness to be off, their great eyes rolling nervously. Miss Whitmore took her place beside Chip with some inward trepidation mingled with her relief. When they were quite ready and the reins loosened suggestively, Pet stood upon her hind feet with delight and Polly lunged forward precipitately.
She pretended that John would become too proud to know the poor little Creams!... "I'm not too proud to know anyone," he interrupted. She burbled at him, and pressed closer to him. "You're quite complimentary," she said. Cream had given John a note to the manager of the theatre which induced that gentleman to admit him, free of charge, to the stalls.
Well, light up, Cassius. I think I'll smoke a cigar. When you get through with the matches, push 'em over this way, will you? Help yourself to those chocolate creams. There's a pound box of them at your elbow, Oassius. I eat a great many. They're supposed to be fattening. Help yourself." After lighting his cigar Mr.
Knight converted into cash. Conspicuous stage characters are always welcome at the prominent cafes; hence Lorelei never had to pay for food or drink when alone, and when escorted she received a commission on the money spent. She was well paid for posing, advertisements of toilet articles, face creams, dentifrices, and the like, especially if accompanied by testimonials, yielded something.
Paul sat near with his whisky. He noticed the girls whispering and nudging. Presently one, a bonny dark hussy, leaned to him and said: "Have a chocolate?" The others laughed loudly at her impudence. "All right," said Paul. "Give me a hard one nut. I don't like creams." "Here you are, then," said the girl; "here's an almond for you." She held the sweet between her fingers. He opened his mouth.
"Oh, it's just a step!" said Lester. "There's a nice little old lady keeps the place, and she gives you awful big ice creams for five cents. You have 'em on a marble table in her little parlor. There's a green carpet on the floor, and the room is awful cool. Oh, come on! I wish you would." The invitation was not elegantly expressed, but it certainly was CORDIAL.
"Why, Pudge," cried Geneviève, "what on earth are you doing out at this time of night!" "I'm going home, I tell you!" muttered the boy, on the defensive. He carried a large bag of what seemed to be chocolate creams, from which he was eating. As he passed, a twinge of memory disturbed him. He fumbled in his pockets.
