The light was courtly on the polished floor. Adelaide Benner a new Adelaide, in chiffon over yellow satin, and patent-leather slippers grinned at him and ruthlessly towed him into the tide of dancers. In the spell of society no one seemed to remember Eddie Klemm. Adelaide did not mention the incident.
He had a kind of right, too, in the Anti-Pragmatic sense; and was come of Imperial kindred, Kaiser Ludwig the Bavarian, and Kaiser Rupert of the Pfalz, called Rupert KLEMM, or Rupert Smith's-vice, if any reader now remember him, were both of his ancestors. He might fairly pretend to Kaisership and to Austrian ownership, had he otherwise been equal to such enterprises.
It was the service of the late General Pitt-Rivers in this country, and of Klemm more laboriously abroad, to establish this aspect of the 'Evolution of Culture' beyond controversy: as it was the work of Boucher de Perthes, and of Sir John Evans and Sir John Lubbock to proceed in the reverse direction, from a criterion of utility to a hypothesis of design, and the conclusion that certain stones, of reputedly prehuman antiquity, must be the work of human hands, geared to human brains like ours.
I find it very convenient to have these microphones, as I suppose you would call them, catching your words without talking into them directly as you have to do in the telephone and then at the other end emitting the words without the use of an earpiece, from the box itself, as if from a megaphone horn. Miss Haversham, this is Dr. Klemm. There is a Dr.
The author too keenly feels that he has no further claims than these, and he therefore most diffidently asks for his work the indulgence of his readers. I would take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to Dr. Klemm, Hofrath and Chief Librarian at Dresden, and to Mr.

Ben Rusk hesitatingly poked his head through the door.
Oh, I must speak to you about Do you suppose you would ever get very, very angry at poor me? Me so bad sometimes." He cut an awkward little caper to show his aplomb, and assured her, "I guess probably I'll kill you some time, all right." "No, listen, Carl; I'm dreadfully serious. I hope you didn't go and get dreadfully angry at me about Eddie Klemm. I know Eddie 's good friends with you.
"I see," remarked Craig, apparently weighing now the man before him. At length he seemed to decide to risk something. "Klemm," he said, "I wish you would do something for me. I see you have the vocaphone here. Now if say Hazleton should call will you listen in on that vocaphone for me?" Dr. Klemm looked squarely at him. "Kennedy," he said, "it's unprofessional, but "
Nobody but Bill Klemm ever dared wear such a screamer as that," announced Lanky, holding the object of his derision aloft. "And this looks like the hat I turned over to Jay Tweedle the time I accidentally knocked his off in the river, and it sank. I know it is, fellows!" exclaimed Frank, who had been one of the lucky discoverers. "Well, we're getting a line on the bunch, all right," laughed Jack.
Below him was Gertie, silver-gowned, wonderful. He wanted to go down to her. He would have given up his chance for a motor-car to be able to swagger down like an Eddie Klemm.
