Look here, Barney, you better install a 'phone telephone haben. Some of you Dutchmen will be dying one of these days before you can fetch the doctor." The door closing. Barney's wagon the wheels silent in the snow, but the wagon-body rattling.
We inquired with half a dozen phone calls. No one had seen or heard from her. The Quebec police were sending a man up to talk with Alan. "Well, we won't be here," Alan called to me. He was standing by the window in Babs' room; he was trembling too much to use the phone. I hung up the receiver and went though the connecting door to join him. Babs' room! It sent a pang through me.
"Broad three-six." And tapped with one foot as she stood. "Zincas Importing Company? I want to speak to Mr. Max Zincas." Wrinkles crawled about her uncertain lips. "This is his his mother. Yes, Mrs. Zincas." She closed her eyes as she waited. "Hello, Max? That you, Max?" She grasped at the snout of the instrument, tiptoeing up to it. "It's me, dear. But I had to get you to the 'phone somehow.
He congratulated me once more upon my decision, prophesied great things as the result of what he called my "foreign junket," and gave some valuable advice concerning the necessary outfit, clothes, trunks and the like. "Travel light," he wrote. "You can buy whatever else you may need on the other side. 'Phone as soon as you reach New York."
"But we must go to our our dinner," she wailed so prettily that he coughed to cover his official severity. "Can't be helped, ma'am. Duty, you know. The captain will soon be here. Would you like to telephone, sir?" Hugh stared and looked embarrassed. Who was there for him to talk to over the 'phone? And that brought another ghastly thought to mind.
The issue was not to be joined when he was ready, but when Marrineal was ready, and on Marrineal's own ground. Very well, Banneker could be a good waiter. Meantime he had at least asserted his independence. Io called him up by 'phone, avid of news of the editorial, and he was permitted to take her to luncheon and tell her all about it. In her opinion he had won a victory; established a position.
Nyoda lost no time in getting the proprietor of the garage at Wellsville on the long distance phone. When she returned this time she was entirely cheerful again. "He says there's another trunk just like it in the garage," she said. "He didn't know whom it belonged to. I told him to send it to us by express and it will be here in the morning.
He grunted and sat down at the telephone. He called a man he knew. Hallen another American was attached to a non-profit corporation which was attached to an agency which was supposed to coöperate with a committee which had something to do with NATO. Hallen answered the phone in person. Coburn identified himself. "Have you heard any rumors about a Bulgarian raid up-country?" he asked.
When she had gone, he summoned the young lady whom Nan had addressed as "Hetty." "Miss Fairchaild," he said, "'phone the local sales-office and tell them to deliver a load of fire-wood to the Brent house at the Sawdust Pile." Two minutes later, the entire office force knew that Nan Brent had called to order a load of fire-wood, and once more the world sagged into the doldrums.
In the meantime Bet had gone to the phone and called Miss Owens and Kit, according to the understanding with Mr. Sills. It was Kit who begged for Edith. "Don't expel her, Mr. Sills. I'm sure she won't do such a thing again." Kit even objected to a class apology for the girl but Mr. Sills was firm in this.
