As she sank into the chair the light from the electrolier fell on her shoulders and on the carefully coiled and banded hair, so laboriously built up into a crown that glinted nut-brown above the pale face she turned to the man watching her. "Well?" she said. And from under her level brows she stared at Copeland, serene in her consciousness of power.
With a sudden movement Gertrude jerked the cord of the electrolier on the table. The lights went out. She dodged around the table, through the doorway, into the hall, and up the stairs. Mr. Hungerford, pawing in the darkness at the offending footstool, swore. Then he laughed. "Good!" he exclaimed. "Very good, but not good enough. You can't escape that way. I shall find you. Where are you hiding?
Watkins's hand the envelope marked with the number indicated was instructed where to look for his valentine. Helen found hers inside of the piano. The Ethels turned up diagonal corners of the rug in the northwest corner of the library and discovered two flat packages. Margaret sought out a small bundle tied to the electrolier on the right hand side of the hall. So it went.
"I don't call her anything wonderful." Doctor Hugh had not come in, and Rosemary had volunteered to serve in his place. Aunt Trudy frankly disliked either carving or serving. "I think she is lovely," maintained Rosemary, "and I'm going to have my hair bobbed like hers." It was a warm night and under the glow of the electrolier Rosemary's magnificent hair curled and shone like polished bronze.
The Hartwigs' modest residence was the last word in cement and small useless side-tables and all modern inconveniences. The furnace heat made you sneeze, and the chairs, which were large and tufted, creaked. In the dining-room was an electrolier made of seven kinds of inimical colored glass, and a plate-rack from which were hung department-store steins.
"Or, 'The The Westward Star of Empire Illuminating the' " proceeded Daffingdon mistily, raising his eyes toward the electrolier. "Yes, yes," responded Virgilia quickly, by way of further encouragement. "Or or 'The Triumphal March of Progress through Our' " Daffingdon confusedly dipped the wrong end of the penholder into the big sprawling inkstand.
And, sure enough, by holdin' the pad under the big electrolier in the lib'ry, we could trace out the address. "Huh!" says I. "The Maison Maxixe, one of them new trot palaces! Ring up a taxi, Jarvis." Didn't happen to be up around there yourself that night, did you?
The window was in a slight bay and there was a six-foot seat below it. The room was lighted by a two-lamp electrolier above the table, but from one socket depended a green cord, suggesting that a previous occupant had used a drop light. "I wonder," said Steve, "where we are supposed to wash." "Let's look for the bathroom," suggested Tom.
The sitting-room was pleasant enough in a strictly orthodox fashion, and was illuminated by an electric-lamp on the black centre-table. Mrs. Heth, who had helped Willie with his furnishings, had considered it the prettiest electrolier that fourteen dollars would buy in the town during the week before last. Carlisle had come to a halt before the bookcase.
No, indeed; he's grammatical, that's all; he prefers 'isn't. Come up." Mrs. Bates hurried her guest over the stairway and through several halls and passages, and introduced her finally into a large and spacious room done in white and gold. In the glittering electrolier wires mingled with pipes and bulbs with globes.
