We are proud of the machinery in our office the two linotypes, the big perfecting press and the little jobbers. They are endowed by office traditions with certain human attributes having their moods and vagaries and tantrums so we love them as men love children.
An immense, dirty, white-washed apartment crowded with linotypes and other machines, in front of which sat men in white aprons, tapping, tapping gazing at documents pinned at the level of their eyes and tapping, tapping. A kind of cavernous retreat in which monstrous iron growths rose out of the floor and were met half-way by electric flowers that had their roots in the ceiling!
He had more than half meant to drive horses to one of these useful affairs, but what if they were to be run by machinery? Linotypes to spoil typesetting by hand, and now horseless carriages to stop driving horses! He wondered if it would be any use to learn any trade. He would have liked to ask Sharon, but hardly dared. "Well, it's an age of progress," said Sharon at last.
