Jack Hicks silently stared up at him for a moment; then he coughed and exclaimed hoarsely: "The jedgment ain't fur off," but Dan laughed the prophecy aside and went upstairs to write to Betty. "I've got a job, Big Abel," he began, going into his room, where the negro was pressing a pair of trousers with a flatiron, "and what's more it will keep me till I get another."
"What brought you to this strange corner of the world?" "Believe me," the spluttering voice replied, "I am not here of my own will. You can bet your tintype on that, Mr. Washington Arch, or Mr. Hoffman House Bar, or Mr. Flatiron Building." "Your mode of address is somewhat obsolete," I ventured. "Changes have taken place." "Yes, I know.
If this example affords any comfort to the Homoeopathist, it seems as cruel to deprive him of it as it would be to convince the mistress of the smoke-jack or the flatiron that the fire does not literally "draw the fire out," which is her hypothesis.
"What is the picture like, Mr. Morgan?" asks Silver. "It must be as big as the side of the Flatiron Building." "I'm afraid your art education is on the bum, Mr. Silver," says Morgan. "The picture is 27 inches by 42; and it is called 'Love's Idle Hour. It represents a number of cloak models doing the two-step on the bank of a purple river.
As Fetuao moved forlornly about, picking up a few trifles that had been dropped or thrown away by the invaders a comb, a spool of thread, a flatiron, a book or two with the covers scorched off she lifted up a grimy rag and tossed it, with a little gesture of disdain, at her husband's feet.
In the middle of the valley, flanked by two huge jagged walls of lava, is a triangular floor of lava like a large flatiron having separating chasms meeting at the apex. Here the Althing, or general assembly, met annually to make laws and settle disputes.
Almost historic, and it looked newer than the smoke-grimed Blackstone. And straight ahead why, that must be the Flatiron building! It loomed up like the giant prow of an unimaginable ship. Brentano's. The Holland House. Madison Square.
Reaching Madison Square, at last, I walked out under the trees, as I almost always do, to have a look at the Flatiron Building, white against the sky. Then I glanced up at the Metropolitan tower, higher but far less romantic in appearance, and saw by the big illuminated clock that it was nearly half-past eleven.
The hall console alone was enough to strike a preliminary chill to your heart. The millinery workroom, winter days, was always bright and warm and snug. The air was a little close, perhaps, and heavy, but with a not unpleasant smell of dyes and stuffs and velvet and glue and steam and flatiron and a certain racy scent that Julia Gold, the head trimmer, always used.
Het an' Ben must be slices off the same block, for his letter was soaked in salt water, an' she had to run a hot flatiron over hern before it would do to send. He writ her that she was the only faithful woman on earth he was hintin' at Dick's burial arrangements, I reckon an' that if she was thar he'd put his head in her lap an' have a good cry.
