He had passed 331 and 341 and 351 and his heart began to beat more rapidly. This was almost as exciting as a Christmas stocking in the Fauntleroy days. His eyes were searching among the numbers; there was a four-story office building and an automobile agency ... and next to that .... Henry halted, and the laugh dried up in his throat. He had been prepared for anything but the reality.
Dorcas Pillbody was the only daughter of a man who had amassed a fortune in the oyster business, and had finally retired to a four-story house in Sixteenth street, near the Sixth Avenue, where he purposed to spend the balance of his days in the dignified enjoyment of his hard-earned money.
She had, however, one merit that of not rejecting him on account of his want of fortune; although at the time, she might have married a man who would have given her a four-story, four-window house in Broadway. Mr. Taylor had not interfered: she had done as she pleased in the affair.
Makely to tell me, for, as she said quite frankly, she could not imagine my not knowing. She asked me if I really wanted her to begin at the beginning, and, when I said that I did, she took a little more time to laugh at the idea, and then she said, "I suppose you mean a brown-stone, four-story house in the middle of a block?" "Yes, I think that is what I mean," I said.
"That, probably," said Dan Anderson, "is 'Ah, non Giunge. Yes, it's Dago, but not bad for a lady with a four-story voice." "Here's another," said Tom; "'Down Mobile." "I know that one," said Curly. "Let me see it," said the impresario in charge.

At last he turned away and walked slowly toward home. The Bonaparte house was, as I have told you, a big, bare, four-story, yellow-gray house.
"I would prefer to leave that choice with you," said the coy would-be purchaser; and then the two went coquetting again for another moment. "I understand that Nicholas Girod is proposing to erect a four-story brick building on the corner of Royale and St. Pierre. Do you think it practicable? Do you think our soil will support such a structure?" "Pitot thinks it will.
Streets went slicing like a butcher's knife, through old colonial estates, whose first masters never dreamed of the city reaching them, and 'Sieur George was still away. The four-story brick got old and ugly, and the surroundings dim and dreamy.
Signs of this protectionist revival, which had in it, as in the seventies, an element of nationalism, were many. A four-story tariff was erected.
Ronald Wyde, having set his favorite books handily on the dimity-draped table, which comprised for him the process of getting to rights, and having given more than one glance of amused wonderment at the naïve blue-and-white scriptural tiles that cased his cumbrous four-story earthenware stove, and smiled lazily at poor Adam's obvious and sudden indigestion, even while the uneaten half-apple remained in his guilty hand, he stepped out on his balcony, leaned his elbows among the crimson leaves, and took in the healthful morning air in great draughts.
