No; I got it in my head a letter's the only satisfactory way to do it, and I thought I'd ask you to hand it to him." "Well, of course I don't mind doin' that for you," Lohr said, mildly. "But why in the world don't you just mail it to him?" "Well, I'll tell you," Adams returned. "You know, like that, it'd have to go through a clerk and that secretary of his, and I don't know who all.
Lohr came out of the "kitchenette," after the door closed, he said thoughtfully, "Just skin and bones." "You mean Mr. Adams is?" Mrs. Lohr inquired. "Who'd you think I meant?" he returned. "One o' these partridges in the wall-paper?" "Did he look so badly?" "Looked kind of distracted to me," her husband replied. "These little thin fellers can stand a heap sometimes, though.
Adams leaned forward, rubbing his knees; and he coughed again before he spoke. "Well, yes. Fact is, he did. That is to say, a mighty long while ago he did." "I remember," said Lohr. "He never said anything about it that I know of; but seems to me I recollect we had sort of a rumour around the place how you and that man le's see, wasn't his name Campbell, that died of typhoid fever?
"I got a lot to do, and the only way to accomplish it, it's got to be done soon, or I won't have anything to live on while I'm doing it." "What you talkin' about? What you got to do except to get strong enough to come back to the old place?" "Well " Adams paused, then coughed, and said slowly, "Fact is, Charley Lohr, I been thinking likely I wouldn't come back." "What! What you talkin' about?"
One Sunday morning as I was walking toward school, I met a young man named Lohr, a law student several years older than myself, who turned and walked with me for a few blocks. "Well, Garland," said he, "what are you going to do after you graduate this June?" "I don't know," I frankly replied. "I have a chance to go into a law office."
A dozen times, as he lay there beside his equally sleepless companion, he started to say something more in deprecation of the step, but each time stifled the opening word into a groan. It would not be true to say that love had come to Albert Lohr as a relaxing influence, but it had changed the direction of his energies so radically as to make his whole life seem weaker and lower.
Pamperin' yourself because you're still layin' off sick, I expect." "Oh, I'm well enough again, Charley Lohr," Adams said, as he got out and shook hands. Then, telling the driver to wait, he took his friend's arm, walked to the bench with him, and sat down. "I been practically well for some time," he said. "I'm fixin' to get into harness again."
Adams turned upon him a stricken and tortured face. "Have you seen Charley Lohr since last night, Mr. Lamb?" "No; I haven't seen Charley." "Well, I told him to tell you," Adams began; "I told him I'd pay you " "Pay me what you expect to make out o' glue, you mean, Virgil?" "No," Adams said, swallowing. "I mean what my boy owes you. That's what I told Charley to tell you.
Baron von Lohr, the Austrian master of ceremonies, having knocked at the door of the next room, where were the Prince of Neufchatel and the Empress's French court, announced to the Count of Seyssel, the French master of ceremonies, that the ceremony might begin; thereupon the Prince of Neufchatel entered the neutral room, followed by Count de Laborde, his secretary for this occasion.
"As a matter of fact, I don't believe he'll ever think about it at all, and if he did he wouldn't have any real right to feel offended at me: the process I'm going to use is one I expect to change and improve a lot different from the one Campbell and I worked on for him." "Well, that's good," said Lohr. "Of course you know what you're up to: you're old enough, God knows!" He laughed ruefully.
