That was how they worked the fabulous generosity of spacemen in the chips on him. Nelsen, Ramos and Hines escaped soon after that. "Three hours left. I guess you guys want to get lost separately," Gimp chuckled. "I'll say so long at the launching catapults, later. I've got some tough guards, fresh from the Moon, who will go along with you. Art and Joe need them..."
Mis' Battis told Luther Goodell afterwards, that she "jest looked in from the next room, at that, and if ever a woman felt cheap all over and as if she hadn't a right to her own toes and fingers, and as if every thread and stitch on her turned mean, all at once it was Mrs. Gimp, that minit!" "Has Faith returned?" Mr. Armstrong asked, of Mrs. Gartney, after a little pause in which Mrs.
She was present again now, all unexpectedly he had heard of her having at last, left alone after successive deaths and with scant resources, sought economic salvation in Europe, the promised land of American thrift she was present as this almost ancient and this oddly unassertive little rotund figure whom one seemed no more obliged to address than if she had been a black satin ottoman "treated" with buttons and gimp; a class of object as to which the policy of blindness was imperative.
They've looked with helicopters, and even on the ground; you couldn't do any more. I'll keep in touch, to see if anything turns up..." After a minute, Nelsen relaxed, slightly. "Two-and-Two? I guess he's okay with Charlie Reynolds looking after him?" "Peculiar about Charlie," Gimp answered, looking awed and puzzled.
And of the headgear of the Georgian ladies, the "tassakravi," composed of a light ribbon, a woolen veil, or piece of muslin round such lovely faces; and their gowns of startling colors, with the wide open sleeves, their under skirts fitted to the figure, their winter cloak of velvet, trimmed with fur and silver gimp, their summer mantle of white cotton, the "tchadre," which they tie tight on the neck all those fashions in fact so carefully entered in my notebook, what shall I say of them?
An old-fashioned piece of furniture, coeval with diamond shoe-buckles, ruffled shirts and queues, a brass bound mahogany chiffonier, with brass handles and tall brass feet representing cat claws, stood in one corner; and across the top was stretched a rusty purple velvet strip, bordered with tarnished gilt gimp and fringe, a fragment of the cover which belonged to the harp on which General Darrington's grandmother had played.
In a way, it was a crude, tawdry joint; but it was not the place that Frank and Gimp or even many of the others had come to see. Eileen Sands was there, dancing crazy, swoopy stuff, possible at lunar gravity, as Frank and Gimp entered. Her costume was no feminine fluff; cheesecake, of which she presumably didn't have much, was not on display, either. Dungarees, still? No, not quite.
And we've got some of about everything that the Moon could provide, thanks to Gimp, who paid the bill. Culture steak in the shadow refrigerators. That's all you need, Out Here, to keep things frozen just a shadow... We've got hydroponic vegetables, tinned bread, chocolate, beer. We've got sun stoves to cook on. We've got numerous luxury items not meant for the stomach.
She smiled faintly. "All right let's. Sit, relax, converse. Stop being the Important Personage for a while, Frank." "Look who's talking. Okay what do you know that's new to tell?" "A few things. I keep track of most everybody." He took her slender hand, brown in his angular fist, that was pale from his space gloves. "Gimp, first," he said. "Still on Mercury, with Two-and-Two.
Baines, George?" "Here!" Two-and-Two responded, loud and plain in Frank Nelsen's phone, from the other rocket. "Hines, Walter?" One by one the names were called... "Kuzak, Arthur?... Kuzak, Joseph?..." "Okay the Mystic Nine, eh? Lash down!" They lay on their backs on the padded floors, and fastened the straps. Gimp Hines, next to Frank, seemed to have discarded his crutches, somewhere.
