"Evidently you're fortunate enough not to have elected themes. When you do, remember that the collections are as prompt as the postman's," said Eleanor. "Come back at six, and you can get out your letter." But the freshman, blushing as red as her scarlet cap, had vanished down the hall.
You don't know what it is to be sick for the postman's knock. I do, and I can't expose anybody else to that torture." "My dear fellow, one can't break that sort of affair off without somebody suffering. You must just set your teeth to that. One thing is, it doesn't last very long."
If Robert Roy said, "I will write on such a day," he was as sure to write as that the day would dawn; that is, so far as his own will went; and will, not circumstance, is the strongest agent in this world. Therefore she waited quietly for the postman's horn. It sounded at last. "I'll go," cried Archy. "Just look at the haar! I shall have to grope my way to the gate."
"I am going shopping day after to-morrow," said Mrs. Dean, "and as long as it is Saturday, you had better go with me." "Oh, splendid!" cried Marjorie, dancing up and down on her tiptoes. "Things are getting interestinger and interestinger." "Regardless of English," slyly supplemented her mother, as Marjorie danced out of the room to answer the postman's ring.
When the trunk was half full, she ceased in weariness, rested for a little, and then went to bed. And in the darkness there came a sound of subdued sobbing. It lasted for some minutes ceased for some minutes was again audible. Then silence fell upon the chamber. Lying awake between seven and eight next morning, Rosamund heard the postman's knock.
You must know that all these little Korans he carries on his arms and round his neck have been specially blessed by a most holy man." The postman's shoulders, elbows, wrists and neck were circled about by chaplets on which little wooden Korans were strung. He fingered them and counted them, smiling like a woman displaying her jewels to her less fortunate friends. "So he is safe," continued Hamet.
These unknown heroes, whose names and deeds are recorded on the tablets in the Postman's Park what stirred them to action save the spontaneous promptings of their own hearts?
One of them, throwing up its head, kept venting a howl of such energy and duration that the animal seemed to be howling for a handsome wager; while another, cutting in between the yelpings of the first animal, kept restlessly reiterating, like a postman's bell, the notes of a very young puppy.
She did not finish the sentence: the postman's knock came to the door, and she bounded off to see what he had brought, leaving Miss Dasomma in fear lest she should appropriate a letter not addressed to her. She returned with a look of triumph a look so wildly exultant that her hostess was momentarily alarmed for her reason. "Now I shall know the truth!" she said. "This is from himself!"
The different paper marks are objects of some curiosity. Probably they gave the names to the different sorts, many of which names are retained, though the original marks of distinction have been relinquished. Post paper originally bore the wire mark of a postman's horn, as appears on specimens of paper of the date 1679.
