Is it I, Henry Ryecroft, who, after a night of untroubled rest, rise unhurriedly, dress with the deliberation of an oldish man, and go downstairs happy in the thought that I can sit reading, quietly reading, all day long? Is it I, Henry Ryecroft, the harassed toiler of so many a long year? I dare not think of those I have left behind me, there in the ink-stained world.
The old freestone school building was still perfectly sound, but the carved, ink-stained desks were almost whittled away.
And here, inside the railing, a desk, or, rather, a great, flat, deal table, spread with a red, ink-stained cloth, was littered with books and papers; while behind the table, again, stood a huge, old-fashioned safe, its door swung wide open, its erstwhile contents scattered in disorder about the floor.
Seeing that the clerk could not understand him, Nekhludoff dismissed him from his presence, seated himself at the ink-stained table and proceeded to commit his project to paper. The sun was already descending behind the unfolding lindens, and the mosquitos filled the room, stinging him.
He looked with intention at the desk which had superseded that old table, with ink-stained cover, at which Cope had once worked. "You can use a little time to advantage over those themes. I'll be back within an hour." Lemoyne had entered for Psychology, and was hoping that he now enjoyed the status necessary for participation in the college theatricals.
Who was the unknown Arthur, whose desk was now given to her? She untied the parcel slowly, but with shaking fingers. The little desk was a battered one, ink-stained, and of a slight and cheap construction. Inside it contained one treasure, a thick letter, with the words "For Primrose" written in her mother's writing on the envelope.
The clerk he was as weedy a looking youth as ever I had seen pointed with ink-stained finger to the benches which lined the room. "You wait your turn," he said, and waved me away. I took my place behind at least a dozen boys and young men, whose avocation was unmistakable. Most of them were smoking either cigarettes or a pipe, and most of them were untidy and unhealthy looking.
All through the years since then she had held her heart against those who would have stormed it, and now and now she tried to speak, but her lips were tremulous and her eyes tear-dimmed. She courtesied low and with grace, and William, who was standing with the ink-stained fingers of one hand clutching his cap and the other held where he thought his heart might be, felt a thrill of sympathy.
It was quite a laborious proceeding, and his first attempt was a fizzle, for he reached the end of the paper before he finished the "in" in Nodelman. He tried again, and this time he was successful, but it was three minutes before the task was completed. It left him panting and wiping his ink-stained fingers on his hair
Everything in M. Batifol's school the grotesque and miserable teachers, the ferocious and cynical pupils, the dingy, dusty, and ink-stained rooms saddened and displeased Amedee.
