Then he joined the crowd of travelers heading for the city subways. He didn't hear the loudspeaker blaring until the announcer had stumbled over his name half a dozen times. "Doctor Dal Timgar, please report to the information booth." He hurried back to central information. "You were paging me. What is it?" "Telephone message, sir," the announcer said, his voice surprisingly respectful.
If figures are used instead of letters, the signatures run on to the last, in order of numbers. These letters, indicating signatures are an aid to the binder, in folding, "gathering," and collating the consecutive sheets of any book, saving constant reference to the "pagination," as it is termed, or the paging of the volume, which would take much more time.
It is well printed in four handy volumes; and as my copy has long been in my possession, and bears marks of much reading, it would have been troublesome for me to refer to any other. But, for the convenience of those who possess some other edition, the following table of the contents of the edition of 1826, with the paging of the four volumes, is given:
This manuscript, which I have examined at Leipzig, is written on foolscap paper, rather rough and yellow; it is written on both sides of the page, and in sheets or quires; here and there the paging shows that some pages have been omitted, and in their place are smaller sheets of thinner and whiter paper, all in Casanova's handsome, unmistakable handwriting.
The process of the summons is called 'paging, and consists of sending a little boy with a large voice through all the halls and corridors of the building, making them resound with a name.

A moment later the latter was up and coming, and conceive my emotion when it was announced that the subject on which he had clicked was Scripture knowledge. One of us, I mean to say.
Word was sent to Admiral Porter soon after the correspondence with Pemberton commenced, so that hostilities might be stopped on the part of both army and navy. It was agreed on my paging with Pemberton that they should not be renewed until our correspondence ceased. When I returned to my headquarters I sent for all the corps and division commanders with the army immediately confronting Vicksburg.
The menial in question was a uniformed bellboy winding in and out among tables and paging some elusive guest. As he approached, his chant grew plainer. "Mr. Bayne," he was droning. "Room four hundred and three." I raised a hand in summons, and he paused beside my seat. "Telephone call for you, sir," he informed me. With a word to my guardian, I pushed my chair back and crossed the room.
She raised a finger. "Isn't that your name? Yes; the boy is paging you."
