Once the car stopped to take some one on at this floor, and his dear old heart gave an enormous throb of anticipation, turning to disappointment an instant later when a messenger-boy slouched in. "Find 'em at home?" asked the elevator-boy. "Sure. Say, dey're wonders, ain't dey, dese society girls? I don't blame people for sendin' 'em violets." Mr.
How strange we English seem in India, a little scattered garrison. Are we anything more than accidental, anything more than the messenger-boy who has brought the impetus of the new effort towards civilization through the gates of the East? Are we makers or just a means, casually taken up and used by the great forces of God? I do not know, I have never been able to tell.
At this moment a messenger-boy, a white, hurried by, in the regular performance of his function carrying the last expired half hour forward to the forecastle, from the cabin time-piece, to have it struck at the ship's large bell.
His plan was very simple. Sometimes a messenger-boy brought a note to her studio. And Blizzard had observed that Barbara's invariable habit with notes was first to read them, and then to burn them. She never tore them into pieces and threw them into the fireplace. She struck a match, lighted them at one corner, and saw to it that they were entirely consumed.
And don't you forget that there's only one Jack Galpin in the world. My address is 205, the Waterloo Road. He left, with his bag. Simon rushed to Vault 39 to encourage the captive by continual knocking. Then the messenger-boy, who had been despatched to obtain food for the prisoners behind the various grilles, came back with the desired food, and with a copy of the Evening Herald.
The brakeman becomes the railway magnate, and the college graduate a grocer's clerk, and the messenger-boy, picking up by chance one day the pen, and finding it run easier than his legs, becomes a power on a city journal, and advises society how to conduct itself and the government how to make war and peace. All this adds to the excitement and interest of life.
From the Bollygolla camp the messenger-boy returned without a scalp, and with a verbal message to the effect that the King could neither read nor write. Grand Duke Vodkakoff, from the Russian lines, replied in his smooth, cynical, Russian way: "You appear anxious, my dear prince, to scratch the other entrants. May I beg you to remember what happens when you scratch a Russian?"
There will also be a gain, perhaps the largest of all, in removing the trudging little messenger-boy from the streets and sending him either to school or to learn some useful trade. The fact is that the United States is the first country that has succeeded in putting both telephone and telegraph upon the proper basis.
But finally the combat was over, and Carey and his friends sat down exhausted. "But what I would like to know," remarked the head of the house, "where, oh where is Aunt Mary?" It was a messenger-boy who brought the answer a telegram dated Niagara Falls, current date and reading: "Stopped over here. Isn't the view from Goat Island wonderful? Leave for Chicago on the first train. Meet me."
Two minutes later the following telegram to Swearengen Jones was awaiting the arrival of a messenger-boy, and Brewster was blandly assuring Messrs. Grant & Ripley that he did not "care a rap for the consequences": NEW YORK, October 23, 1 Butte, Mont. No doubt you could do it for less than six thousand.
