It accounts for the fact that you see no city pallor in the faces on the streets and perhaps for the fact that you see so little unhappiness on them. On Sundays and holidays, crowds pour across the bay all day long and then, loaded with flowers and greens, pour back all the evening long. As for flowers and greens, the hotels, shops, cafes, the little hole-in-the-wall restaurants are full of them.
Somewhere out there on the street, or in the Hole-in-the-Wall, he would meet his enemy in a few minutes, perhaps. There would be no wordy argument. They understood each other, and had understood each other, since that morning, long ago when they had passed each other on the road Panhandle riding in to Laramie and Cheyenne and Little Jim riding from the abandoned home.
You are a born financier, I can see by the way you divide up the increment when you rob a train. You would shine in the business world. Come on, go back east with me, and I will use my influence to get you in among the men who own automobiles and yachts, and drive four- in-hands. What do you say?" "No, it is too late," said the leader of the Hole-in-the-Wall gang of train robbers, with a sigh.
Sitting his big horse like a statue, his club foot concealed by the long tapadero, his physical being dominating his followers, Sneed headed the group that rode slowly down the long open stretch bordering on the east of the town. They entered town quietly and stopped a few doors below the lighted front of the Hole-in-the-Wall.
Once more the rocks took on grotesque shapes utterly ultra-human in their suggestiveness. Those who have marveled at the Hudson's beauty should drop down this lonesome stretch. We shot through the Elbow Rapids at the base of the great Hole-in-the-wall Rock. It was deep and safe much like an exaggerated mill-race. It ran in heavy swells, yet the day was windless.
Didn't know you'd met, cobbers. Contact, Izzy?" "Ninety per cent for uncut," Izzy answered. They went up to Gordon's hole-in-the-wall, with Mother Corey wheezing behind, while the rotten wood of the stairs groaned under his grotesque bulk. At his questions, Gordon told the story tersely. Mother Corey nodded. "Same old angles, eh? Get enough to do the job, they mug you.
"Come on in to dinner," said the girl who helped the sleepy one. "Believe me! I'd be asleep in a minute. I'm going to tumble into bed. Anybody know if Judy and I have got the same old hole-in-the-wall to sleep in?" "Go up and grab it, anyhow," advised her chum. "I'll bring the rest of these things when I come.
Will your would be republican, foregathering at some Hole-in-the-Wall meeting, allow a conservative speaker to say a word in opposition to his progressive puerilities? Your teetotal-alliancer, in a quorum of water- drinkers, will he let a licensed victualler utter a protest against his scheme for universal abstinence? No.
The salary is a hundred and twenty-five a week an advance of about twelve hundred a year, I believe, on your average downstairs. Can you begin soon?" An office boy showed him to his room a mere hole-in-the-wall with just space for a table-desk, a small table, a case of shelves for books of reference, and two chairs.
So I set about it. In the course of time I began to get the best of this knotty lesson, and my self-complacency moved to the front once more. Mr. Bixby was all fixed, and ready to start it to the rear again. He opened on me after this fashion 'How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole-in-the-Wall, trip before last?
