And to Nimble's amazement they reached up to do as they were told. But Nimble's antlers were too high for them. It was a bad moment for Jimmy Rabbit. Billy Woodchuck and Fatty Coon had come early to Jimmy Rabbit's party. And Jimmy had told them to hang their hats and coats upon his new hat-rack meaning Nimble Deer's antlers.
"His name," continued Laffat, hurling a bit of bread at the hat-rack, "his name is Hastings. He is a berry. He knows no more about the world," and here Mr. Laffat's face spoke volumes for his own knowledge of that planet, "than a maiden cat on its first moonlight stroll." Bowles now having succeeded in lighting his pipe, repeated the thumb touch on the other edge of the study and said, "Ah!"
It was his wife, the Josephina of the early days, when he used to gaze at her admiringly, delighting in reproducing her face. He threw the blame for his slowness on Milita and determined to have the study taken away from there. His wife's portrait ought not be in the hall, beside the hat-rack.
I think perhaps a subconscious recollection of his methods was what made me so successful with the hat-rack. War work has brought out much latent ability of this kind. Lilies of the field, who had never needed to toil or spin for themselves, were glad to do so for the Red Cross.
Then you enter a sort of vestibule, where they used to keep the hat-rack, I suppose; next a room with a large marble basin in the midst and the pipes of a fountain; on either side are bedrooms; beyond the fountain is a reception-room, then a little garden, dining-room, and so forth and so on.

"Fair exchange," he considered with a harsh laugh. "After all, he loses nothing ... but the jewels." He was out and at the foot of the stairs just as O'Hagan reached the ground floor from the basement. "Ah, O'Hagan!"
They were crammed with good cheer when Mother paid the check from a dollar she had left over, and they rose from the table. Father stood perplexedly gazing at the hat-rack behind them. He gasped, "Why, where Why, I hung it " He took down his old hat with a pathetic, bewildered hesitancy, and he whispered to Mother, "My overcoat is gone it's been stolen my new overcoat.
A ray of sunlight falling through the side-lights of the door with their pattern of fleur-de-lis on a crimson ground, cast a rosy stain on the neutral-tinted carpet and brought to notice a few atoms of dust on one of the rosewood chairs that stood to attention on either side of the tall hat-rack.
His house had elegant furniture, his children were beautifully clad, his name was synonymous with honor and usefulness; but evil habit knocked at his front door, knocked at his back door, knocked at his parlor door, knocked at his bedroom door. Where is the piano? Sold to pay the rent. Where is the hat-rack? Sold to meet the butcher's bill. Where are the carpets? Sold to get bread.
