All the pleasant exhilaration of youth seemed to have deserted the boy, and life to him became as inane and bovine as to the original ringer of that bell grazing all the season in her own shadow over the same pasture-ground.
"We can't leave here any too quickly. It has cleared, you say?" "Beautifully," answered Nat; "and the sun to-morrow will be a 'ringer' for the moon to-night. I'll bet it will be one of those dazzling days " "Likely," agreed the major. "We must take Mayberry back with us," he said in a low voice. "Poor old chap! To think that I should find him and in such a pitiable condition!"
"I'm as good a ma-an as he is anny day. I'll have no man rob me." "But he wouldn't rob you," said Mr. McKenna. "Think of the purchasing power: you've got to always figure that out. A dollar you'd get then would be worth only half as much as it's worth now. It'd be a dollar like they run through the ringer down in Mexico."
And in the interval following each period of pressing the finger's owner hearkened, all ears, for the answering click-click that would tell him the sleeper having been roused by the ringing had risen and pressed the master button that released the mechanism of the street door's lock. But no welcome clicking rewarded the expectant ringer.
He was not a drunken, disorderly, or radical member of society, and he didn't black boots, or man a ship, or sell people groceries, or do any of the things that were done in overalls and a soft shirt, therefore it went without saying that he belonged to the better class. That was synonymous with admitting that one kept one's ringer nails clean and used a pocket handkerchief.
What comes after 'wilt thou take this woman'? CAPT. M, You go for the ring. R'clect it'll be on the top of my right-hand little ringer, and just be careful how you draw it off, because I shall have the Verger's fees somewhere in my glove. Come along! It's past twelve and I haven't seen Her since yesterday evening. Look here, does She come up the aisle on my arm, or how?
His grandfather also was leading singer and ringer at Masham Church; and one of the boy's earliest musical treats was to be present at the bell pealing on Sunday mornings.
"I'll teach you to come and mock me." The ringer vanished, ducking. "Gently," said Wheeler, "gently." Bassett chucked the wood back into the basket, and sat down gloomily, saying, "Then how dare he come and talk about ringing bells for a girl? To think that I should have all this fright, and my wife all this trouble for a girl!"
Julia's answer was only a look a full, clear, level look that scorched him like a flame; her cheeks above the black of her gown burned scarlet; she was growing angry. Jim played with an empty envelope for a few minutes, fitting a ringer tip to each corner and lifting it stiffly. Presently he dropped it, folded his arms, and rested them on the table. "This is a serious matter," he said gravely.
Only this morning I seen Felix Geigermann in the subway and he says that Kleiman & Elenbogen is showing, at a dollar less on the garment, a ringer for our Style 4022 which we sold him, Mawruss. Now, who tells them suckers how they could cut down on the buttons and the lining, Mawruss, and put one pleat less in the skirt, Mawruss? I suppose you did or I did, Mawruss ain't it?"
