That night he dreamed feverishly of "five-room, modern cottages with bath," and of "ONLY $500.00 down and balance payable monthly," and of ten-acre "ranches" and five-acre "ranches" he who had been used to numbering acres by the thousand and to whom the word "ranch" meant miles of wire fencing and beyond that miles of open!
Where were the days when, with his general's stripes on his trousers, he took the street-car to his home, befitting his station in life, a six-room apartment that was really a five-room apartment plus a closet? Where was all that?
One social worker of experience says that in her judgment desertion, instead of being a poor man's divorce, comes nearer to being a poor man's vacation. A man who had always been a good husband and father was discharged from hospital after a long and exhausting illness and returned to his family wife and seven children in their five-room tenement.
So now he lived with George and Nettie in the five-room flat on South Park Avenue, just across from Washington Park. And there was no extra pillow on the floor. Nettie hadn't said he couldn't have the extra pillow. He had told her he used two and she had given him two the first week. But every morning she had found a pillow cast on the floor. "I thought you used two pillows, Father." "I do."
Our coast brethren have demonstrated that a four- or five-room cottage will satisfactorily house a considerable family, and that it may be given the characteristics that charm without increasing the cost. The simplest and in many instances the prettiest cottages are of only a single story.
Well, where she landed four days later was in as neat a five-room flat on East Twenty-third Street as you ever walked sideways through and she's been Mrs. Magee ever since." Ben Granger is a war veteran aged twenty-nine which should enable you to guess the war. He is also principal merchant and postmaster of Cadiz, a little town over which the breezes from the Gulf of Mexico perpetually blow.
Not back to the five-room flat all day, and the little back bedroom, and nothingness. In his mind there rang a childish old song they used to sing at school. A silly song: Where do all the birdies go? I know. I know. But he didn't know. He was terror-stricken. October came and went. With the first of November the Park became impossible, even at noon, and with two overcoats and the sweater.
Andy took the hint and moved on decorously to the next bulletin-board, but the revelation that had come to him there in the street dulled somewhat his alertness, so that he came near committing himself to the purchase of one of those ubiquitous "five-room, modern cottages with bath" before he realized what he was doing and fled to the street again, on the pretense that he had to catch the car which was just slowing down for that crossing.
Her head burrowed deeper in her arms, her voice muffed in their depth. "Madam!" "How many times I've dreamed, Phonzie. You and me, real partners in the business and and in everything. Us in a little home together, one of the five-room flats down on the next floor, with a life-size kitchen and a life-size dining-room and and a life-size Aw, Phonzie, you you'll think I'm crazy."
"He must be an awful nuisance to a nice girl. Think of a fat, sandy-haired husband in a five-room flat with pink wall-paper and a colored janitor. Run along, Muldoon," to Glass, "I'll be with you in a moment." When the trainer had waddled out of hearing, Mrs. Keap inquired, eagerly: "Have you heard from Culver?" "Didn't you know about it?" Speed swallowed. Roberta shook her dark head.
