An expanse of smooth turf lay between the window and the sidewalk. Stan turned back to Domber, who had seated himself at a desk. The office had nothing military about it. There were no war maps on the wall. The only picture was one of Hitler, hung back of the desk. There was an adding machine, two sets of files, several large cabinets with steel doors, and a desk with a typewriter on it.
It was their first social triumph, and the taste of it was sweet: "Mr. Hall said he'd looked up the 'Story of the Files," Saxon recounted. "And he said mother was a true poet. He said it was astonishing the fine stock that had crossed the Plains. He told me a lot about those times and the people I didn't know. And he's read all about the fight at Little Meadow.
I assumed my old rôle of writing the names of the wounded, but when, at nine o'clock, the 10th Maine regiment a fragment of the proud column which passed me in the morning returned, I hailed Colonel Beale, and reined with him into a clover-field, the files following wearily.
Here, Heter, bring the bag of tools and open the moles' chains." While the files were grating on the sand-hill by the road and the prisoners were being released from the fetters on their ancles, though for the sake of security each man's arms were bound together, Pharaoh's host marched by.
But it really was so all the same; and during the space of one minute this man who was so occupied by business matters, this leading light in the financial and political worlds, indulged in the childish pastime of watching the passers-by, and following with his eyes the files of conveyances as they gaily rolled in the sunshine. But pray do not be alarmed. Such a weakness could not last long.
So the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews was fully warranted in claiming all these ancient heroes, sages, and saints, as having lived by faith, and as being the foremost files in the same army in which the Christians of his day marched.
They found laid out for them a few cooking utensils, a variety of provisions tied up in strong little sacks, several more hoes, axes and rakes, two mattocks, a half-dozen flat files, and as many big zinc canteens. "Now hurry!" she commanded them; "pack these, and then get some blankets from your camp, and some hobbles and picket ropes." With Bob's rather awkward help everything was made fast.
"In all non-contested cases, either where they go by default or where the defendant voluntarily files his answer after the residence for six months is proved, the plaintiff's testimony is sufficient to prove his or her cause of action, that is, no testimony beyond that of the plaintiff is needed where the case is not contested.
Back to the cityroom, you dabbling booby, you precious simpleton, addlepated dunce, and be thankful my boundless generosity permits you to draw a weekly paycheck at all and doesnt condemn you to labor forever unrewarded in the subterranean vaults where the old files are kept." First Miss Francis and now Le ffaçasé. Were all these great intelligences touched?
No, he had not been asleep; he had been dreaming with open eyes dreaming of filing, and it was all still to do. There stood the window-bars, untouched, strong and firm as ever. And there was ten striking from the clock-tower in the distance. He must get to work. He looked through the spy-hole, and, seeing that no one was watching, took one of the files from his breast.
