He ushered Margaret into a private sitting-room leading out of the hall, and then closed the door behind him. The disappointed waiter lingered upon the door-mat: but the George is a well-built house, and that waiter lingered in vain. "You want to see Mr. Dunbar?" he said. "Yes, sir!" "He is very much fatigued by yesterday's business, and he declines to see you.
I had been prepared by the accounts of others, to expect much humiliation of spirit from the surgeons, and to be treated by them like a door-mat, a worm, or any other meek and lowly article, whose mission it is to be put down and walked upon; nurses being considered as mere servants, receiving the lowest pay, and, it's my private opinion, doing the hardest work of any part of the army, except the mules.
"Once you let a man think he could use you as a door-mat, where were you?" "What happened then, honey?" "Well, after that we went to the movies." Archie started convulsively. The change from his dollar-bill leaped in his hand. Some of it sprang overboard and tinkled across the floor, with the brigand in pursuit. A monstrous suspicion had begun, to take root in his mind.
He stood there, waiting, summoning his faculties of calmness and his powers of control, to meet Evelina to have out, at last, all the shame of the years. But it was not Evelina. The Reverend Austin Thorpe was wiping his feet carefully upon the door-mat, and asking in deep, vibrant tones: "Is the Doctor in?" Anthony Dexter could have cried out from relief.
There was a peculiarly attractive power about her which drew other creatures around her wherever she might chance to be. The first individual who broke in upon her was that animated piece of ragged door-mat, Toozle.
At the top of the Green Stairs he lay down and mouthed it a while, tugging at it with his sharp teeth; but after he had mumbled and gnawed it for some time without bringing the bone any nearer the surface, he grew tired of his newfound plaything.

"Thought you was going to make a noo chap of him?"
The door-knob turned from within. "Is Mrs. Bates " she began. The door opened half way. A grave, smooth-shaven man appeared; his chin and upper lip had the mottled smudge that shows in so many of those conscientious portraits of the olden time. "Gracious me!" said the startled Jane to herself. She dropped her disconcerted vision to the door-mat.
The greater number of diplomatic women as well as ladies-in-waiting that I have run across during my European or Washington episodes have about as much personality as a door-mat. Many of our own women have been admirable helpmates to our ambassadors, but I recall none that has played a great personal rôle in the world. Not a few have contributed to the gaiety of nations.
He signalled the driver. "Go to the other address again, in Thirty-seventh Street." Jarvis opened the door. "Yes, sir thank you, sir Miss Milbrey is in, sir. I'll see, sir."
