Her name was Lily Leavitt, and as Sadie had already told Win she was "chucking herself" at Earl Usher's head. At first Miss Leavitt "lamped" Miss Child "something awful." But on the English girl's third Toy day a thing happened which converted the enemy into a friend an all too devoted friend.
He became aware of the presence of something Feminine at his immediate right. He took a cautious Look and beheld a timid Debutante, sparkling with the Dew and waiting to be plucked. She gave him a frightened Smile and lamped him very slowly. Suddenly he felt himself wafted away on a cloud of Purple Perfumery. She had put the Sign on him without lifting a Finger. His friends tried to save him.
I never lamped him but once before myself. I heard his name then, but forgot it. He's her friend, there ain't no doubt o' that, Joe, and it ain't likely he's hanging around here just for fun, is it? My idea was it would be safer to take him in." "Sure; what's yer name, young fellow?" Concealment was useless; they evidently had him correctly spotted; to lie would do no good. "Matthew West."
I had seen the lightning, but heard no words; Lona saw and heard with the children. A second flash came, and my eyes, though not my ears, were opened. The great quivering light was compact of angel-faces. They lamped themselves visible, and vanished. A third flash came; its substance and radiance were human. "I see my mother!" I cried. "I see lots o' mothers!" said Luva.
Her old man and her sister were there with some nut, and they didn't want her to go. But Baxter "lamped" her, and she fell for his eyes and sneaked out anyway. You better keep off, Jimmie, for you don't look like a college boy and that's the gag Baxter's been giving her. She thinks she's going to a dance at the Yale Club next week.
Naturally I thought that some one had lamped us on the outside, and that I was likely to be in a devil of a mess if I wasn't careful. The last place for me to go was back into her room. They would cut me off from the outside. So I beat it up the stairway into the attic. Nothing happened, so I sneaked down to have a peep around. The door to Ugo's room was open, but there was no light on the inside.
"As the Fanny physic fails to straighten you out," I said to him, "why not try the hospital?" He recoiled. "Have you ever lamped it?" he asked. "It looks like a calaboose." "It ain't so bad," said Kelly, the I.W.W., who was proselyting as usual among the flotsam and jetsam of the waterfront. "I 've been in worse joints in the United States."
It makes me sick to think o' them and of him, the low beast!" "Don't tink, den. Tink of me." "I do. I love you, Boy! The minute I lamped the pearls when I sensed they was real I meant to get 'em, for you and me to set up house far away somewheres on our own. We can go to Buenos Aires or some place south, where they love a nice voice like yours, so you won't feel wasted.
Why, you didn't think for one minute, did yuh, that I was takin' any chance with you? Not a chance in the world! Go squeal to the law an' what would it get yuh? "You was drivin' this car yourself when Smilin' Lou stopped us, recollect. He had yuh placed as one of that Black Butte gang quick as he lamped yuh. Yuh think Smilin' Lou is goin' to take a chance?
Here was a desperate character, thought Burke, who was accustomed to command others; he was not the flabby weakling type, like Baxter and Craig. "It's better for you to do it, Sam. I'll tell you later. Jimmie just tipped me off that there's a bull on the trail that's lamped me." Burke understood the shifting of their business arrangement, but to Lorna the crook's slang was so much gibberish.
