See Plate II. Your cabinet-maker can remove the footboard, then draw the bed out into the room, place in a position convenient to the light either by day or night, after which put a cover of cretonne or silk over it and cushions of the same. Never put a spotted material on a spotted material.
There was the loud hoot of a horn and a lurch of the couplings, as C sprang in. I grasped B 's hand, and jumped on to the footboard of the moving train. "Good-bye, old chap." "Good-bye, old man." B had gone to the front. I never saw him again. Three weeks later I was sitting at déjeuner in the Metropole, when a ragamuffin came in with the London papers, which had just arrived by the leave-boat.
The stranger climbed out and stood beside the step, with one hand holding on to the edge of the footboard. 'Come, hand me down my bag. For answer Doctor Unonius lifted his foot and brought it down suddenly on the hand, grinding his heel into the fingers. At the same moment the whiplash fell over Dapple's haunches.
It is something, even, to see the life of the roads year after year from the footboard of a coal-van, and to be in charge of a horse hour after hour; but I am talking now of ideas which might give buoyancy and zest to the gossip beside a man's fireside in the evening when he is tired; and I think it unnecessary to argue that, in regard to providing this kind of mental furniture, the coal-carter's experience of life cannot have done great things for him.
"No, not Fender," says I, "nor Footboard, or anything like that: just plain McCabe." "It is a word of respect," says he, "such as Sir Lord; thus, Effendi McCabe." "Well, cut out the frills and let's get down to brass tacks," says I. "You're here because you're here, I expect. But what else?" He sighs, and then proceeds to let go of a little information.
The material was the silver-like metal of which most Martial vessels and furniture are formed, every spar, pole, and cross-piece being a hollow cylinder; a construction which, with the extreme lightness of the metal itself, made the carriage far lighter than any I had seen on Earth. The body consisted of a seat with sides, back, and footboard, wide enough to accommodate two persons with ease.
It was still in the disorder caused by that eventful morning; many of the ornaments her own cherished knick-knacks were gone, packed and shipped to her new home the day before. Her writing-desk and bureau were bare. On the backs of chairs, and across the footboard of the bed, were the odds and ends of dress she was never to wear again.
Glimpses of men smoking cigarettes at the doors, half-naked brown children rolling in the dirt, and women on their knees inside, hard at work grinding the corn for those eternal tortillas. At San Juan de Dios Mr. Christy climbed to the top of the Diligence, behind the conductor, who sat with a large black leather bag full of stones on the footboard before him.
When I was ready to get into bed, lo! there was Khaki on the foot of the bed, close against the footboard, fast asleep. Not only was he asleep, but he was lying on his back, with his two white paws folded over his eyes as if to keep the lamplight out of them. Well I had not the heart to drive him away. He had won. He slept there.
A man sprang to the footboard of the freed locomotive, jerked the throttle open, stayed at the levers long enough to hook up to the most effective cut-off for speed, and jumped for his life. Dawson was deliberate, but not slow-witted.
