It was fight, fight, fight, and no let-up, from the first thing in the morning till nightfall. His private office saw throngs every day. All men came to see him, or were ordered to come. Now it was an optimistic opinion on the panic, a funny story, a serious business talk, or a straight take-it-or-leave-it blow from the shoulder. And there was nobody to relieve him.
Works without a let-up, and keeps in good flesh on one fish a day. Doesn't even get anything to drink; eats a little snow after dinner, digs his bed, and sleeps in a drift till morning." "When he doesn't howl all night." "Oh, that's when he meets his friends, and they talk about old times before they came down in the world." "Hey?"
In his present mood he convinced himself, as do most American business or professional men, that he was being driven in his work, and that he wanted nothing better than a let-up from the grind. As a matter of fact, he and they love their work. In this frame of mind he started downtown, rather late. On the street he met a number of his friends.
"I'm not rushed this afternoon." "You are kept busy as a rule, I suppose?" "Yes, always mending something. I have been doing it for over thirty years now, and there is never any let-up." "You must get very tired of it at times." "No, I can't say I do. It gives me plenty of time to think as I sit here alone in my little shop.
Of course, the bee had the pollen crop, nothing more, in mind when she made her decision; yet it was further justified. There was no let-up in the rejoicing; if anything, it became more frantic than before. Darkness fell upon a crowd which was reeling in self-induced mental intoxication.
We had worried our weary way through the horse latitudes, embracing every flaw of wind, often accompanied by rain, to get a mile ahead here, half a dozen miles there; and, as these spurts come from every quarter, this involves a lot of bracing changing the position of the yards; continuous work, very different from the placid restfulness of a "whole gale" of wind, with everything snug aloft and no chance of let-up during the watch.
They simply began shelling it as a matter of course." "Ye are right again," I told him; and forthwith moved my pieces over into another triangle. However, I took care to move my machines, one at a time, so that there was no let-up in my bombardment. But scarce had we taken up the new position before the enemy's shells likewise shifted, and began to strike once more in our midst.
"They are prepared for that, of course; be careful, friends, and don't expose yourselves more than you are obliged to, for there will be no let-up after the ball opens. I wish I could stay with you and help you out. I have been on the watch, ever since it grew dark, to steal off and make a run to the stockmen's camp, but I couldn't gain the first chance."
Gradually, then, he felt himself becoming stupefied by the ceaselessly recurring horror, with the prolonged suspense between. He must sting himself back to the full possession of his faculties by another burst of fierce effort. Fiercely he caught at log after log, without a let-up, till, luck having favoured him for once, he found himself on the inner instead of the outer edge of the procession.
No, we're bound to see 'em through, and no let-up till they've bought all they've got on their memorandum." We have not yet touched the question of credit. To whom shall the jobber sell his goods? It is the question of questions.
