And yet she must be a clean, fast vessel, but we'll overhaul her going roomer or on a bowline." "Roomer? Speak plain, Godby, I'm no mariner!" "Time'll teach ye, pal!
"You live across the street from Wilsons', don't you?" "Yes." "I thought so; I had heard you speak of the house. Your your brother was standing on the steps." Sidney laughed. "I have no brother. That's a roomer, a Mr. Le Moyne. It isn't really right to call him a roomer; he's one of the family now." "Le Moyne!" He had even taken another name. It had hit him hard, for sure.
To his great joy the Swallow joined company again in the night, 10 leagues to the north of Cape Finister, having been obliged to go roomer, as she was unable to weather that cape against a strong contrary wind at S.W. On the 25th, the wind still continuing contrary, he put into Ferol in Galicia, where he remained five days, and gave out proper instructions to the masters of the other ships for keeping company during the rest of the voyage.
She doesn't know it, but I do." "She is very proud of you." "That's different. You're right, though. Pride's her middle name. It nearly killed her at first to take a roomer, because she is always thinking of what the neighbors will say. That's why she hates me sometimes." "I wish you wouldn't talk that way." "But it's true.
I looked down instantly, so that she shouldn't see them and think me an idiot, but I was afraid she did. The young man who was taking me up to the top floor, and treating me rather nonchalantly because I was a North Roomer and a Twelve Francer, waved the lift boy aside to open the door himself for the lady; so that I knew she must be considered a person worth conciliating.
Adelle did not notice the hat business: she gave her old friend and best "roomer" her hand as she said good-bye, then slowly mounted the stone steps of the hotel. And that was the last that Church Street saw of the Clarks.
She settled herself more comfortably on the doorstep and drew along breath. "How tired I am! Oh I haven't told you. We've taken a roomer!" "A what?" "A roomer." She was half apologetic. The Street did not approve of roomers. "It will help with the rent. It's my doing, really. Mother is scandalized." "A woman?" "A man." "What sort of man?" "How do I know? He is coming tonight.
He was a man, I should say about sixty years old, a most uninteresting age, and a homely, weather-beaten fellow too, when you stopped to look at him. His suit was pepper-and-salt, and he was just like his suit. Good as gold, I have no doubt, a roomer of whom his landlady could say: "He comes and he goes and is never a speck of trouble."
It's the old Knickerbocker neighborhood, you know. Not much of the old Knickerbocker atmosphere left. It's my first experience as a 'boarder' in New York. I think, on the whole, I prefer to be a 'roomer' and 'eat out. I have been a 'paying guest' in London, but fared better there as a mere 'lodger." "You're not English, are you?" "No. Good American, but of a roving habit.
I shall also be seeing twenty or thirty other doctors, and a hundred or so men patients, not to mention visitors. Joe, you're not rational." "No," he said heavily, "I'm not. If it's got to be someone, Sidney, I'd rather have it the roomer upstairs than Wilson. There's a lot of talk about Wilson." "It isn't necessary to malign my friends." He rose.
