Kit laughed and slipped her arm around the slender shoulders that were growing so quickly up to her own. "You're getting just as bad as every one else here in Gilead, Helenita. I thought only Mr. Ricketts took an interest in telegrams and post-cards." Nevertheless, when Sally told them that there had been a message 'phoned up from Nantic, even Kit showed quick interest.
Violle, who was most devoted to his extremely pretty wife, one day had a sudden shock. By some means a copy of the photograph of the sister-disciples went astray in the post. A photographer obtained possession of it and promptly made some picture post-cards, which were quickly upon the market, much to Rasputin's chagrin.
The India of one's imagination the somber land of mystery, of untold riches, of eastern enchantment, of far-away romance was gone, buried under picture post-cards, hustling tourists, and all the commonplaces of a popular tourist track.
Letter from the Honourable Jane Champion to Sir Deryck Brand. Castle Gleneesh, N. B. My dear Deryck: My wires and post-cards have not told you much beyond the fact of my safe arrival. Having been here a fortnight, I think it is time I sent you a report. Only you must remember that I am a poor scribe.
His wife let lodgings to make up a bit. Very sad. Candle-light showed in a window of the house next door to the saddler's, and Mavis thought of these neighbors two sisters, old maids who had a very, very little money of their own and who endeavored to add to what was barely enough for necessities by selling butterfly nets, children's fishing-rods, stamp albums, and picture post-cards.
"The same to you," replied the hermit heartily. "Miss er Miss Rhodes and I will see you again," predicted Mr. Magee, "next summer at Baldpate Inn." The hermit looked at the girl, who turned her face away. "I hope it'll turn out that way, I'm sure," he said. "I'll let you have a reduction on all post-cards, just for old times' sake. Now I must find out about the New York trains."
The foreigners and demimondaines were noticeably absent; a pair of Frenchmen were in the place of the absentees; and after their dinner they smoked their black brier-root pipes in that fashionable restaurant. Among the picture post-cards then on sale was one of Marianne, who is France, bound for the front in an aeroplane with a crowing French cock sitting on the brace above her.
Early in September I did succeed in getting two post-cards away, but I ascertained afterwards that they did not reach their destinations until some weeks after I had left Sennelager. We felt this isolation very keenly because one and all were wondering vaguely what our wives, families, friends, or relatives were doing. About ten days after our arrival at this hostelry there was a parade.
They live in a kind of park Forest Park Street or something or other. Why, I've done business with Goldstone & Auer for fifteen years, and my father before me! Good Lord!" "What'll I do, Kess?" "So that's the size of the fish you went out and landed!" "I didn't! I didn't! He's been asking me out the last three trips, and post-cards in between, but I never thought nothing of it."
In one of the largest I offered a piastre, fifty cents gold, in payment for a few picture post-cards, but they could not change the coin, and seemed disinclined to make the effort to do it, so I went without my cards. The Annamese, who form the bulk of the population, are attractive in appearance, finer in feature and gentler in manner than the Chinese.
