It was not a profitable train of thought, and, to escape from it, he went into Beevor's room and fetched the documents he had mentioned at least they would keep him occupied until it was time to go to his club and lunch. He had no sooner settled down to his calculations, however, when he heard a shuffling step on the landing, followed by a knock at Beevor's office-door.
The Redskins, exhibited in the Valentine Hall, have taught them to mimic the dance of the bison, and to smoke the calumet of peace; they have seen Carter's lions fed; they know the principal national costumes contained in Babin's collection; Goupil's display of prints has placed the tiger-hunts of Africa and the sittings of the English Parliament before their eyes; they have become acquainted with Queen Victoria, the Emperor of Austria, and Kossuth, at the office-door of the Illustrated News.
As he spoke he let go of the lad's collar with his right hand, and brought it swinging down with all his force on the side of Stephen's head. Instantly the boy dropped like one dead at his feet. At the same moment the office-door opened, and the appalling sight appeared of Mr. Fairfax's tall form, followed closely by his son Archie. Not a second did Simon lose.
Suckmstances is altered with me. I I in a word, CAN you lend me L. for the account?" He named the sum. He squeezed our hand until he nearly wrung it off, and shouting to a cab, he plunged into it at our office-door, and was off to the City.
One large young rat in particular quite a rattling blade in his way at length became so bold that he stood his ground one forenoon, and deliberately stared at Mr Denham as he tottered up to the office-door. We notice this fact because it occurred on the memorable day when Mr Denham admitted to himself that he was breaking down, and that something must be done to set him up again.
A woman with red and scaly eyelids and glistening eyes was sitting on a bench just inside the office-door. She fixed her eyes upon Elfride with an expression whose force it was impossible to doubt, but the meaning of which was not clear; then upon the carriage they had left. She seemed to read a sinister story in the scene. Elfride shrank back, and turned the other way.
Blount had scarcely formulated the condition when the office-door winged noiselessly, and the man himself, hollow-eyed and haggard, stumbled in. As once before, Blount got up and went to shut the door and lock it. When he came back, Gryson had taken his seat in a chair at the desk-end, where the light from the shaded working-lamp fell upon his sinister face.
He strode to a window and saw Ben Barry mounting his machine close to where Pete was mowing the grass. He hurried to the door. "Come here, you damned coot!" he yelled. And Pete dropped the mower and ambled up to the office-door. "What did that man want of you?" he asked furiously. "Wanted to know the shortest road to Keefe," replied Pete in his usual sullen tone. "You lie!" exclaimed Rufus.
She received with the same patience the sarcasm of a boarder who appeared at the office-door with a bag in his hand, and said he would send an express-man for his trunk.
But when he came to the office-door he hardly had the courage to pass on to that of the private dwelling. His heart beat too quickly, and the idea of seeing Miriam was almost too much for him. But, nevertheless, he did carry out his plan, and did knock at the door of the house. And it was opened by Miriam herself. He knew her instantly in spite of all the change.
