Judson's presiding fates were good to her the next week. She would have denied it with the sum total of her vehemence, which incidentally was some sum, but Dr. Bond says it is true. It was after eleven, one night. He was just finishing his day's writing. It was the nurse 'phoning.
It was enough, too." Stafford turned to his wife. "Dearie?" "Yes," she answered coldly. "Do you mind 'phoning for Oku to bring some ice-water?" "Not at all." Going to the 'phone on the wall, she took off the receiver and spoke into it. "Hello! Have Oku bring some ice-water." "I've got a terrible headache," he went on.
"I've been looking for you everywhere, Miss Pat," she said radiantly. "There's going to be a spread in the cave, and I've phoned home to Judy not to wait for us, as we won't be there for dinner." "Am I asked?" demanded Patricia with eager eyes. "Of course, or I'd have sent word by you instead of phoning," said Elinor quickly. "Come along down, both of you.
Chester threw down his papers, pushed back his chair, and rose, tragic purpose on his face. "It is not to be borne," he ejaculated. "Oh, very well," stuttered Mr. Strangman, "that means, I suppose, that I shall have to do the 'phoning myself. Here, boy, get out, give me that." And thereupon the message started over again, but this time breathed in Mr. Strangman's powerful whisper.
I'm glad she has my panels finished, for I have a feeling that she isn't too dependable, after all. I wonder what she is phoning to Mrs. Blakely for? I thought they were not on good terms." "Oh, they're quite good friends," said Patricia, as she lighted her gold-shaded lamp.
The man who was 'phoning was in sight of another man who stood at the railing of the brokers' gallery overlooking "the pit," or central room of the stock-exchange, and who instantly transferred any sign he might receive to the man on the floor. So Mr. Hull's "yea" or "nay" would be almost instantly transmuted into a cash transaction on 'change.
Peter had noticed that Angell's pockets were stuffed, and had assumed that they were going to do their dynamiting, so he had phoned to McGivney from the drug-store. By this phoning he had missed the crowd, and then he had been ashamed and afraid to tell McGivney, and had spent the night wandering in the park.
It really isn't worth while 'phoning or telegraphing either. I didn't drown, and I'm very comfortable, thank you or should be if it weren't for these mosquitoes." "Comf'table! Yes, you're comf'table, but how about your folks? Won't they learn, soon's that steamer gets into into Portland or or New York or Boston or . . . Hey?" "I didn't speak." Seth swallowed hard and continued.
I myself had foreseen the possibility but only as a possibility that Dykeman would put a man on Worth's coat-tails, since I knew Dykeman and had been at that bank meeting; yet I had not regarded it as likely enough to warn Worth; and here was this girl phoning him to look out for a trailer. Was this some more of her deductive reasoning, or had Cummings dropped a hint?
First his friends rallied round him; and then the fellows that his friends knew by sight; and then a few of his enemies buried the hatchet; and finally he was buying souvenirs for so many Neapolitan fisher maidens and butterfly octettes that the head waiters were 'phoning all over town for Julian Mitchell to please come around and get them into some kind of order.
