If you will send Murray to me I will tell him that you have withdrawn your notice and will stay on in O'Toole's place. It will not be necessary for him to engage another furnace-man at present." "No, ma'am," said Wade, and then added without a trace of irony in his voice: "At any rate not until cold weather sets in."
It ended, however, with Mr. Harbison writing out a lot of slips, cook, scullery-maid, chamber-maid, parlor-maid, furnace-man, and butler, and as that left two people over we didn't count Aunt Selina he added another furnace-man and a trained nurse. Betty Mercer drew the trained nurse slip, and, of course, she was delighted.
"Some day," Miller grinned to himself, "I think I'll take that footman as furnace-man or to do the boots." And he pictured his marble palace rising from the earth to form the mausoleum of a footman's pride. Only forty minutes ago! And now he had his opportunity fast! And he never meant to let it go!

"Mr. Riatt is the most wonderful provider expert as a cook as well as a furnace-man."
Lapham's note made a very decent appearance on the page. When the furnace-man came, the Colonel sent him out to post it in the box at the corner of the square.
He stopped to inform Howard Littlefield, his scholarly neighbor, that though the day had been springlike the evening might be cold. He went in to shout "Where are you?" at his wife, with no very definite desire to know where she was. He examined the lawn to see whether the furnace-man had raked it properly.
