When they arrived, Pinky had four apartments waiting for their inspection. She told them this in triumph and well she might, it being the winter after the war when New York apartments were as scarce as black diamonds and twice as costly. Father Brewster, on hearing the price, emitted a long low whistle and said: "How many rooms did you say?" Two and a kitchenette, of course."
Jim lounged in the window and smoked his cigarette while Ella and Mary chattered in the kitchenette. In half an hour the scrub-woman had made her last trip with the extra dishes, and the little home was spick and span. Mary sprang on the couch and snuggled into Jim's arms. "I've changed our plans " he began thoughtfully. "We won't give up our honeymoon trip?" she cried in alarm.
Each human heart persists in learning the big lessons of life at first hand. We refuse to learn any other way. The tragedies of others interest us as fiction. We make the application to others never to ourselves. Jim's familiar footstep echoed through the hall, and Mary sprang to the door with a cry of joy. Ella hurried into the kitchenette and busied herself with dinner.
"Pancakes it is, then," agreed Tom dashing to the kitchenette, where he proceeded to prepare a breakfast of delicious pancakes and coffee. A few freshly boiled shrimp added to the feast were welcomed by the boys. A passing fisherman had offered them to Jack at just the right moment. The boys did ample justice to the feast.
"Come along, old sport!" he said genially to Lauffer; and he walked away with his handcuffed prisoner, whistling "Garryowen." "Wait!" motioned Vaux to Miss Erith. "I found that in the kitchenette," he remarked, laying it before her on the table. "Maybe that's the key?" "A cook-book!" She smiled, opened it. "Why why, it's a DICTIONARY!" she exclaimed excitedly. "A dictionary!" "Yes! Look!
Something always tugs at my heart when I think of Flora. She has so much and yet so little. She and Oscar would be much happier in a flat on the West Side with Flora cooking in a kitchenette, and Oscar bringing things home from the delicatessen. He would buy bologna and potato salad on Sunday nights, and perhaps they would slice up a raw onion. It sounds dreadful, doesn't it?
In the morning as she was working about her little kitchenette an idea came to her. Why not hire the vacant apartment cross the hall from Adele? An optician, who was a friend of hers, in the course of a recent conversation had mentioned an invention, a model of which he had made for the inventor. She would try it.
As they entered the door of the kitchenette loud voices told them that some one was disputing inside. Drummond strode in. The sight of a huge pile of stuff that two strange men had drawn out of drawers and closets and stacked on the table riveted Constance's eyes. Only dimly she could hear that Annie Grayson was violently threatening Drummond, who stood coolly surveying the scene.
"Come, come," bustled Harry, "Jack will be getting hungry. Whose watch is it in the kitchenette? I was on last, I know!" "Yes, you were!" declared Arnold in mock anger. "You are always just off duty when there's work to do! We know you!" It was decided that Harry must prepare supper, for the boys were all famished after their hard day's work.
She was not gone, indeed, much longer than that, but when she came back from her kitchenette he had dropped like a log upon her divan, submerged beyond all soundings. So she tugged him around into a more comfortable position, managed to divest him of his dinner-jacket and his waistcoat, unbuttoned his collar and shirt-band, took off his shoes, and covered him up with an eiderdown quilt.
