They brought the same glorified thrill of contrast as this soft but strong contralto voice proceeding from that delicate blondness. "Oh, no!" she said, "I never saw her before. She was swaying as I came down the aisle, and I caught her. She's she's awake." The old woman had stirred again. "Get my bag from seat 12, parlor-car," said Dr. Blake to the porter.
It was certain that the porter and the parlor-car conductor were among the lost; and his list of passengers had perished with the conductor; there was only left with the operator the original of that telegram, asking to have a chair reserved in the Pullman from Wellwater, and signed with Northwick's name, but those different initials, which had given rise to the report of his death.
As the eavesdropper presently made out from a colloquy unrestrained by consciousness of him, they had never seen a parlor-car before, except perhaps as it flashed by their meek little home depot with the rest of some express train that never stopped there.
He made up his mind to follow her and, if necessary, attempt some defense. Perhaps, he thought, he could manage to destroy any evidence of his treachery which the Canadian had discovered. Still, he was tormented by doubts as he lounged in the parlor-car, and, growing restless, he went out on the rear platform and lighted a cigar.
Madison was neither surprised nor dismayed the parlor-car conductor, the train conductor and the timetable had in no way attempted to deceive him he was only cold. He turned up his coat collar and blew on his kid-gloved fingers. As far as he could see everything was white with a thin layer of snow he kicked some of it off his toes onto the unshovelled platform.
But what vain concession is this to the outworn ideals of a state and a condition justly superseded! How far we have got from that gentle pair with whom we began peering into the parlor-car in Portland, Maine! To such as they it will matter little whether Pullman cars are or are not put on that steamer train in North Germany.
She smiled happily over some of Scorch's sayings and his impish doings; so they were some miles on the journey before she began to look about the car. Her ticket had called for a chair in the parlor-car; and she immediately discovered that she was not the only girl who seemed to be traveling alone.
When we part with the daily habit of trolleys and begin to think in cabs and taxicabs; when we pass the line of honest day coaches and buy a seat in the parlor-car; when we turn from pie, or baked beans, and coffee at the refreshment-counter and keep our hunger for the table d'hôte of the dining-car; when we buy a room in the steamboat in disdain of the berth that comes with our ticket; when we refuse to be one of four or even two in the cabin of the simpler steamers and will not go abroad on any vessel of less than twenty or thirty thousand tons, with small, separate tables and tuxedos in the saloon; when we forsake the clothing-store with its democratic misfit for all figures and order our suits in London, then we begin to barter away our birthright of republican simplicity, and there is soon nothing for us but a coronet by marriage in the family or a quarter-section of public land in northwestern Canada.
". . . your hook being fastened through the skin of his leg, toward the upper part of it; and lastly I will give you " "Something livelier in the way of reading, sir, if you wish it!" broke in the voice of the newsboy who had stopped beside the parlor-car chair of the military-looking traveler, interrupting the reading of the little green-covered book. "I have a new detective story " "Look here!
"By George! You've got pep, if ever a girl had I'll wager you pulled your friend out of the parlor-car and held her up! Some horripilation, eh?" breezily. "Now now what have you and I ever done that the Fates should wish this on to us that's what I'd like to know?"
