"Ma'am?" "Adelia said you went out, carrying your suit-case." "Oh yes," he said, languidly. "If you leave clothes at Schwartz's in the evening they have 'em pressed in the morning.

Mrs. Baxter followed her husband to the door, but she stopped on the threshold and called back: "Don't sit there too long, Willie."
She rose a little languidly, and I perceived with misgivings that she and Dawson were really about to depart. "Well," said Schuyler, "any time you feel like shakin' Dawson, just put me wise, there's a good fellow!" When Dawson and Evelyn had gone, Schuyler proceeded to get rid of the children.
