"So that's what he is a cheap, low-lived iceman!" Mrs. Kilgour came into her vestibule and led the way to the kitchen, for Farr stood irresolutely in the doorway, awaiting directions as to his burden.
When Warble was a bit frustrated or embarrassed, she often inverted her initials and lisped. It was one of her ways. The other clients at her table had no intention of being neglected while their Pickfordian waitress smiled engagingly on a newcomer. It was the iceman who had hollered. He seemed to be merely a red-faced inanimate object, that worked by strange and compound levers.
"Couldn't you do it er more gently?" she hinted delicately. "Hold fast and I'll try," grinned Bob. "As a chauffeur I'd be a good iceman." The second time he managed better, and the battered little car moved off with less disturbing results. In a very few minutes they had reached Doctor Morrison's garage.
I will show you where I want it placed. I also want 1,000 pounds a day delivered the same way for the next four days. Your company may charge the ice on our regular bill. This is for your extra trouble." Miss Coulson tendered a ten-dollar bill. The iceman bowed, and held his hat in his two hands behind him. "Not if you'll excuse me, lady.
There were always partners waiting for her; she began to dance before she got her breath. Antonia's success at the tent had its consequences. The iceman lingered too long now, when he came into the covered porch to fill the refrigerator. The delivery boys hung about the kitchen when they brought the groceries.
It is an absurdly exposed, almost indecently exposed position, for the confidential family business she intends to carry on. The iceman and the butcher and the boy who brings up the Sunday ice cream from the apothecary can't help seeing those three big blue eggs she has laid.
The next morning at 8 o'clock, when the iceman called, the cook told him that Miss Coulson wanted to see him in the basement. "Well, ain't I the Olcott and Depew; not mentioning the first name at all?" said the iceman, admiringly, of himself. As a concession he rolled his sleeves down, dropped his icehooks on a syringa and went back.
"And now any one can ride him, so I don't want him," answered Woodbury. And Werther grinned. "You're right, boy. I'll give him to the iceman." The big grey man, William Drew, loomed over the heads of the little crowd, and they gave way before him as water divides under the prow of a ship; it was as if he cast a shadow which they feared before him.
His sentence was thirty days in default of three hundred dollars, and by two o'clock he was on the boat to the Island, and by three he had discarded the blue shirt and red suspenders of an iceman for the gray stiff cloth of a prisoner. He took the whole trouble terribly to heart.
The iceman, who had the hard, set jaw of a prize fighter was successfully eating steak, and he welcomed the incoming fried potatoes, as one greets a new instalment of a serial. It was a fat and pink and lovely Warble who at last trotted back with Petticoat's order. The great specialist had an unbridled passion for pie, and throwing restraint to the winds he had ordered three kinds.
