They're the only clothes of the kind I ever see wore into this buildin'. I couldn't say what they was made of; but I know they're the button-up-the-back style, and that they stick to her as if they'd been put on by a paper-hanger. I guess you'd call Mildred a 1911 model.
He had answered the question before, and had noticed with a little amusement the look of respect which came into the eyes of the questioner. "What have you got!" "Fifteen years," said the other. "That means 11 years and 9 months," said the first man. "You've never been here before, I suppose?" "Hardly," said Lexman, drily. "I was here when I was a kid," confessed the paper-hanger.
"Tell again where you left it the night before it was found floating down-stairs." "On a shelf over the stove." "Could the dog have reached it there?" "Not without standing on a hot stove." "Is it not possible that Mr. Ladley, unable to untie the boat, borrowed your knife to cut the boat's painter?" "No painter was cut that I heard about The paper-hanger " "No, no. The boat's painter the rope."
That was because the paper was contracting and trying to bring the dimensions of the room I own to fit it. In the morning the room had shrunken so that the carpet did not fit, and the paper hung in large molasses-covered welts on the walls. It looked real grotesque. I got a paper-hanger to come and look at it. He did so. "And what would you advise me to do with it, sir?"
The last painter had spilled his last splash of paint on the sprouting grass beneath the spotless white window sills. The last paper-hanger had departed. Winnie S. was loading into what he called a "truck wagon" the excelsior and bagging in which the final consignment of new furniture had been wrapped during its journey from Boston. About the front yard Kenelm Parker was moving, rake in hand.
If I 'ad to depend on your silly old paws, I'd never get anything done at all." And so Tom, a flaxen-haired, sheepish-looking man of something over thirty, led a kind of go-as-you-please existence about the place, a jack-of-all-trades in turn carpenter, whitewasher, paper-hanger an expert fetcher and carrier, bullied by his father, sheltered under his stepmother's capacious wing.
"He's likely busy as a one-armed paper-hanger with fleas! He's a senior, you know. Wait till next year and you'll see me in the same boat!" and he hurried away whistling. Clive Terrence hung around. He calmly took it for granted that the Clouds wanted him as long as he condescended to stay. In fact, it wouldn't have troubled him whether they wanted him or not if he wanted to stay.
"Every murderer fears the dark. And our friend of the parlor bedroom is a murderer, Mrs. Pitman. Whether he hangs or not, he's a murderer." The mirror affair, which Mr. Holcombe called a periscope, was put in that day and worked amazingly well. I went with him to try it out, and I distinctly saw the paper-hanger take a cigarette from Mr. Ladley's case and put it in his pocket. Just after that, Mr.
If you need to call in the carpenter, the plumber, the paper-hanger, or the stoveman, try to have him come when the children are at home, and let them satisfy their intense curiosity as to his work. This knowledge will sooner or later be of practical value, and it is immediately of spiritual value. Beautify the work as much as possible by letting the artistic sense have full play.
Friday, as I say, was very quiet. Mr. Ladley moved to the back parlor to let the paper-hanger in the front room, smoked and fussed with his papers all day, and Mr. Holcombe stayed in his room, which was unusual. In the afternoon Molly Maguire put on the striped fur coat and went out, going slowly past the house so that I would be sure to see her.
