This airship goes right up into that tower!" "But don't you dare ask me to make the ascent," warned Dozia. "The tower may be thick with ghosts as a chimney with swallows." "But think of it," rattled on Jane. "That old hidden dumb-waiter! Why have we never discovered it before?" "Didn't need it," said Dozia.
To a proud, shy, reserved man, and such in many respects was Mannering, this sort of living catalogue and animated automaton had all the advantages of a literary dumb-waiter. Pleydell's, the advocate, for whom he had a letter of introduction from Mr. Mac-Morlan. He then commanded Barnes to have an eye to the Dominie, and walked forth with a chairman, who was to usher him to the man of law.
The stationary range, hot and cold water, dumb-waiter, speaking tubes, and call-bell for the janitor pleased her very much. She had enough of the instincts of a housewife to take great satisfaction in these things. Hurstwood made arrangements with one of the instalment houses whereby they furnished the flat complete and accepted fifty dollars down and ten dollars a month.
Norma was opposite Rose, and by falling back heavily could tip her entire chair against the sideboard, from which she extracted forks or salt or candy, as the case might be. The telephone was in the dining-room, Wolf's especial responsibility, and Mrs. Sheridan herself occasionally left the table for calls to the front door or the dumb-waiter.
I had five rooms furnished in the most elegant style, and everything seemed to be calculated for love, pleasure, and good cheer. The service of the dining-room was made through a sham window in the wall, provided with a dumb-waiter revolving upon itself, and fitting the window so exactly that master and servants could not see each other.
"Yes," said Solomon John, "there must be a space clear of snow on the east side of the house, and if we could open a way to that " "We could open a way to the butcher," said Mr. Peterkin, promptly. Agamemnon went for his pick-axe. He had kept one in the house ever since the adventure of the dumb-waiter. "What part of the wall had we better attack?" asked Mr. Peterkin. Mrs. Peterkin was alarmed.
He gets up early in the morning and shaves himself with a safety razor, while the court chemist is analyzing his breakfast for traces of arsenic or prussic acid; then he dons his bullet-proof coat, descends a private stairway to a bomb-proof drawing-room and receives his meals on a dumb-waiter from the laboratory with the chemist's certificate that all injurious substances have been removed.
"I shall not fail; sir, another time, to execute your commands." "Let the supper be served." "Your honour ordered it for two." "Yes, for two; and, this time, be present during my supper, so that I can tell you which dishes I find good or bad." The supper came through the revolving: dumb-waiter in very good order, two dishes at a tune.
Where ARE you both?" Mona's voice rose high as she called, and it was joined by others calling the same two names. "They're calling, we must go!" exclaimed Patty. "Go! Nothing!" cried Big Bill, savagely. He glanced round, he saw the dumb-waiter, built large and roomy in accordance with all the plans of "Red Chimneys."
"I'm done. Come along, I'll ride you back," called Snap, tossing the last cooky after the dumb-waiter as it went slowly out of sight with its spicy load. "I wish you'd teach me to cook. It looks great fun, and mamma wants me to learn; only our cook hates to have me mess round, and is so cross that I don't like to try at home," said Lily, as she went trundling back.
