Hilda sat on the single chair the place contained in the dress and make-up of the last scene. A Mohammedan servant, who looked up incuriously, was unlacing her shoes. Various garments hung about on nails driven into the unpainted walls, others overflowed from a packing-box in one corner.
Penrod worked systematically; he hung the twelve stockings over the sides of the wheelbarrow, and placed the wheelbarrow beside a large packing-box that was half full of excelsior. One after another, he stuffed the stockings with excelsior, till they looked like twelve long black sausages.
He could of course die for her and would, if need were but this thought was always followed by the depressing question, "What good would that do to her?" Two hours after the foregoing conversation occurred Peter the Great was seated in a dark little back court in a low coffee-house in one of the darkest, narrowest, and most intricate streets of Algiers. He sat on an empty packing-box.
Next she took Madeline's hand and led her up the narrow staircase to the nest, seated her in the little Yankee rocking-chair, and wrapped her in the scanty, faded shawl that served for a coverlet. Then she ran quickly down into the cellar, and, with a hammer, broke in pieces an old packing-box; it was a brave achievement for her tender hands.
"Packing ugh!" snapped the inventor "Do you know what that is?" "You turned down my first guess," I suggested humbly. "Griggs, what appears to you as a packing-box is nothing more nor less than the first and only Hawkins Hydro-Vapor Lift!" "The which?" "The Hawkins Hydro Vapor Lift!" "Hydro-Vapor?" I murmured. "Whatever is that? Steam?" "Certainly." "And lift, I presume, is English for elevator?"
She lit the lamp and hastily drew down the white cotton blind and pinned it close to keep out the great pitiless staring Outside, which seemed to be peering in at her with a dozen white, mocking, merciless faces. In the lamp's dim light the shadows were blacker than ever; the big packing-box threw a shadow on the wall that was as black as the mouth of a tunnel in a mountain.
"Katzberg," he said, "them samples you are working on we got to show the Magnet Store this afternoon yet." Katzberg shrugged his shoulders and returned to his pressing, while Shapolnik drew forward two rickety chairs and a packing-box. "Have a seat, Mr. Potash; and Mr. Cohen, too," he said. "Koblin," Abe corrected. "Koblin," Shapolnik repeated. "Excuse me."
Packing-box tenement built for revenue only. 5. The limit; the air shaft first concession to tenant. 6. The double-decker, where the civic conscience began to stir in 1879. 7. Evolution of double-decker up to date. 8. 3 two-room apartments 3 three-room apartments 2 four-room apartments As for the rents, he will put them as high as he can, no doubt. They were too high always, for what they bought.
These he hung like curtains at one corner of the room, and placed a chair behind them raised on two empty packing-boxes. Seating himself in this chair he opened the curtains just enough to enable him to peep through, and found that he could see the letter-slit in the door over the counter, but not the floor beneath it. He therefore elevated his throne by means of another packing-box.
Roberts had shown her how to wear set on the yellow head, Sallie said not a word, but went to the packing-box in the corner which served as a treasure cupboard, and drew forth the one possession about which she had been utterly silent a little hand-glass which Mark had brought her one winter evening just before he was hurt.
