Bill Wrenn went below. In the dark passage by the fidley he fell to tremorous weeping. But the brackish hydrant water that stopped his nose-bleed saved him from hysterics. He climbed to the top deck, and now he could again see his brother pilgrim, the moon. The stiffs and bosses were talking excitedly of the fight. Tim rushed up to gurgle: "Great, Bill, old man!
The shrill whistle that at noon had obtruded its discord into Nance Molloy's thoughts had a very different effect on Dan Lewis, washing his hands under the hydrant in the factory yard. He had not forgotten that it was Saturday.
Silence!! Silence!!! Helmets are, of course, perfectly preposterous." "Oo-oo-oo-oo, sir-r-r!" "But, sir, the danger!" "Please, sir, the falling timbers!" The Fire Brigade had been in action once and once only in the memory of man, and that time it was a haystack which had burned itself out just as the rescuers had succeeded in fastening the hose to the hydrant. "Silence!"
Such acquaintance with the history of thought as I possess has taught me to regard school, parties, and sects as arrangements, the usual effect of which is to perpetuate all that is worst and feeblest in the master's, leader's, or founder's work; or else, as in some cases, to upset it altogether; as a sort of hydrant for extinguishing the fire of genius, and for stifling the flame of high aspirations, the kindling of which has been the chief, perhaps the only, merit of the protagonist of the movement.
Heavy dealings in rags, paper, old iron and lead gave the firm a balance of twenty-two cents on the evening of the third day; but a venture in glassware, following, proved disappointing on account of the scepticism of all the druggists in that part of town, even after seven laborious hours had been spent in cleansing a wheelbarrow-load of old medicine bottles with hydrant water and ashes.
They do likewise for a school, for the little school beside the church is for coloured children. The only "modern convenience" was an ancient style of hydrant, around which the children were organizing fire companies and extinguishing imaginary fires. After visiting the mule boy in Rat Hollow on Sunday, I returned to the camp.
"What's the matter?" called Penrod from the hydrant, where he was filling a bucket. "What's he doin' now?" "Doin'! He's eatin' the wood part, too! He's chewin' up sticks as big as baseball bats! He's crazy!" Penrod rushed to see this sight, and stood aghast. "Take it away from him, Sam!" he commanded sharply. "Go on, take it away from him yourself!" was the prompt retort of his comrade.
"Oh, no," says Mrs. Garvey. "Nothing of the sort. Perhaps some of the servants " "Now, Ducky," breaks in Garvey, "let's not lay it on the servants." And Mrs. Garvey turns the color of a fire hydrant clear up into her permanent wave. "Very well, Tim," says she. "If you will let everybody know. I suppose it's bound to get out sooner or later, anyhow." And with that she turns to me.
Gallito is the Spanish name for these violets, and it means 'little rooster." Linda set the violets as carefully as they had been lifted and rinsed her hands at the hydrant. "Now bring on the remainder of the exhibit," she ordered. "It's there on the top of the rock pile, which you notice has incrased since ye last saw it." "So it has!" said Linda. "So it has!
"Them young ones turned it on to get a drink, and then turned it clear off. 'Pears to me they drink most o' the time. I'd think they come by it honestly, if 't wuzn't water. If you ain't too tired holdin' your head up with both hands, s'posin' you stir your stumps and turn it on a drop fer them chickens." The old man got up with confused, vinous alacrity and started toward the hydrant.
