Gard's impedimenta seemed to preclude the handshake, and the host hastened to insist upon his guest being relieved. Gard shook his head. "I have only a moment to inspect your picture, Mahr," he said coldly. "Oh, no, don't say that. Have a highball; you will find everything on the table. What can I give you? This Scotch is excellent." "No," said Gard sternly. "Excuse me; I am here for one purpose."
"Tutt & Tutt," cooed Bonnie, instantly flashing one of the firm's cards. "Thanks," said Pumpelly, putting it carefully into his pocket. "I may need you sometime perhaps even sooner. Now, if by any chance you'd care for a highball " "Lead me right to it!" sighed Bonnie ecstatically. "Me, too!" echoed Wilfred, to the great astonishment of those assembled. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
"When you really get going, I wonder if you will take me round and show me how shells are made. I'm the most ignorant person you ever knew." "I'll be awfully glad to." "Very well. For that promise you shall have a highball. You're an awful dear, you know." She placed a slim hand on his shoulder and patted it. Then, leaning rather heavily on him for support, she got to her feet.
It's terribly cold. Don't you think a small highball would be nice?" "Now, by golly, there's a woman with savvy! I think we could more or less stand a highball if it wasn't too long a one not over a foot tall!" He kissed her with careless heartiness, he forgot the compulsion of her demands, he stretched in a large chair and felt that he had beautifully come home.
A long, low room, probably a saloon, with the pretentious bar in front; tables on either side of the room, and an eager group round each one, the game being roulette, faro, highball, poker, crapps or monte. The dealers, or professional gamblers, are easily distinguished. They are necessarily cool, wide-awake, self-possessed men.
In the bedroom, he found that Little Fuzzy had dumped the stones out of the biscuit tin and made an arrangement, and laid the wood chisel in a neat diagonal across the blanket. After getting dinner assembled and in the oven, he went out and called for a while, then mixed a highball and took it into the living room, sitting down with it to go over his day's findings.
"A highball would make me happy, right now," he announced cheerfully, standing over the bartender, rubbing his fingers numbed from the keen air and from holding in the pintos, to which a slackened pull on the bits meant a tacit consent to a headlong run. "Been to the dance?" The bartender yawned widely and went to mix the highball. "I been kinda waitin' up but shucks!
Dundee?... This is Miss Burden.... My three offspring Peter the third, Eleanor, and Bobby.... Will you please take the children to the playroom now, Miss Burden?... Thank you!... Tea, Mr. Dundee? Or shall I order you a highball?" "Nothing, thanks," Dundee answered, grateful for her friendliness but nonplussed by it.
"Call it a highball," was the prompt reply, "and you can have as many as you like. Have you earned it?" he added, a little curiously. "I almost believe that I have," Lutchester assented. Mr. Oscar Fischer and his friend, Senator Theodore Hastings, stood side by side, a week later, in the bar of one of the most fashionable of New York hotels.
His locomotive drew a string of empties, eastbound, and having had a heavy pull of it coming up the grade to Cliff City, as soon as he had got the highball from the yardmaster there, he had "let her out," and was now coming to the head of the down grade to Hammon at high speed. As it chanced, the wireless receiving station of Tom's new telephone system was not yet completed at Cliff City.
