Then Bigpig Monahan sneaked below and induced the steward to toss through the store-room dead-light every bottle of wine and liquor which the ship contained. "For Seldom and Poop-deck," he said to him, "are the only men in the gang fit to pick up navigation and git this ship into port again; but if they git their fill of it, it's all day with you, steward."
But in that second in that second, Mag Monahan, I saw a fairy with blazing cheeks and shining eyes, with a diamond coronet in her brown hair, puffed high, and pearls on her bare neck and arms, and emeralds over the waist, and rubies and pearls on her fingers, and sprays of diamonds like frost on the lace of her skirt, and diamond buckles on her very slippers, and the rose diamond, like a sun, outshining all the rest; and and, Mag, it was me!
But gradually the expression of my face must have changed; for all at once I discovered what had been done to me. My purse was gone. Yes, Maggie Monahan, clean gone! My pocket had been as neatly picked as I myself well, never mind, as what. I threw back my head and laughed aloud.
There's only one other woman filling a really important position in the merchandise end of this business. That's Ella Monahan, head of the glove department, and she's a genius. She is a woman who is limited in every other respect just average; but she knows glove materials in a way that's uncanny. I'd rather have a man in her place; but I don't happen to know any men glove-geniuses.
Jason occasionally descended. Anecdote and political reminiscence gave place here to matters of high policy. I had several times come to the saloon in the days of my apprenticeship in search of some judge or official, and once I had run down here the city auditor himself. Mike Monahan, whose affair it was to know everyone, recognized me.
The saloon, on the ground floor, had two apartments; the bar-room proper where Mike Monahan, chamberlain of the establishment, was wont to stand, red faced and smiling, to greet the courtiers, big and little, the party workers, the district leaders, the hangers-on ready to be hired, the city officials, the police judges, yes, and the dignified members of state courts whose elections depended on Mr.
Then she rustled off to the door to examine it closely in the light, and Mag Monahan, she walked right out with it! At least, she'd got beyond the inner doors when I tapped her on the shoulder. "I beg pardon, madam." My best style, Mag. She pulled herself up haughtily and blinked at me.
The whole act was such a ghastly failure that I " "That you'd better go out now and make your prettiest bow, Gray. Phew! Listen to the house roar. That's what I call applause. Go on now." She went. Me? I didn't say a word. I looked at Obermuller and and I just did like this. Yes, winked, Mag Monahan. I was so crazily happy I had to, didn't I? But do you know what he did? Do you know what he did?
He had paused to chat with Miss Ross Duff is married and has a daughter older than Miss Ross and was engaged in a discussion concerning a new play when Monahan approached. Monahan had on a golf suit which would cause his arrest as a tramp if he wandered from the links.
"I have no need to steal you must know that oh, that I wouldn't that I couldn't If you will just let me pay you " Here now, Mag Monahan, don't you get to sneering. She was straight right on the level, all right. You couldn't listen to that cracked little voice of hers a minute without being sure of it.
