There were extras, anyhow, beyond the number needed to lift the Platform. He found himself considering the obvious fact that after the Platform was aloft, they would be used to launch the ferry rockets, too. Then he moved toward the center of the Shed. A whole level of scaffolding came apart and its separate elements were bundled together as he watched.
But in temptingly cooked everyday food, and in certain extras which were Mother Boswell's specialties, and which the few people now in the Inn called for with ever-increasing zest though they seldom deigned to send any special word of praise to the anxious cook Boswell's needed to ask forbearance of nobody.
Yet I should be offering a fair sample of front-line accommodation during the Great War. Reliefs took place at night. First by road, next by a slippery track, finally through a communication trench deep in mud, our soldiers had to carry each his rifle and 120 round of ammunition, a share of rations, gumboots, a leather jerkin and several extras a load whose weight was fully 50 pounds.
Add this to the yearly sum represented by the house itself, together with the cost of heating and lighting, and you have twenty-eight thousand four hundred dollars. Unforeseen extras make this, in fact, nearer thirty thousand dollars.
You'll have seven thousand left in your hands. Never let him touch a farthing of it. Don't pay his debts ever. If once you pay them, you'll never be free of them. Besides, I shall always be here. You shall have twelve hundred roubles a year from me, with extras, fifteen hundred, besides board and lodging, which shall be at my expense, just as he has it now. Only you must set up your own servants.
He signalled a passing carriage and ordered the man to drive him far "up the road," out of range of the shrill-voiced newsboys, hawking their "extras," with "Full accounts of the great murder mystery." For a brief day the name of Randall Clayton was on every one's lips.
One Little Fuzzy in the bedroom was just fine; five and a Baby Fuzzy were a little too much of a good thing. They were swarming over the bed, Baby and all, to waken him the next morning. The next morning he made a steel chopper-digger for each of them, and half a dozen extras for replacements in case more Fuzzies showed up.
The assertion will scarcely be credited, but I do assert that I have no recollection of other tuition except that in the dead languages. At the school at Sunbury there was certainly a writing master and a French master. The latter was an extra, and I never had extras. I suppose I must have been in the writing master's class, but though I can call to mind the man, I cannot call to mind his ferule.
But just the same eleven dollars and fifteen cents is a real bargain. It took me a long time saving for it, though. I carry papers morning and evening there's a boy taking my route for me this afternoon I give 'm ten cents, an' all the extras he sells is his; and I'd a-got the boat sooner only I had to pay for my shorthand lessons. My mother wants me to become a court reporter.
He congratulated himself that he was not personally incommoded by it, like some of the fellows who lived uptown, and had not everything under one roof, as it were. He enjoyed the excitement of it, and he kept the office boy running out to buy the extras which the newsmen came crying through the street almost every hour with a lamentable, unintelligible noise.
