By the time she arrived at her rooming house a few minutes later, she was shivering. She undressed and went straight to bed beneath layers of feather comforters with a hot water bottle pressed against her chest. She had no appetite for supper, and resolved to arise early and eat a hearty breakfast to compensate.
She knows that I wish to talk with her, too. I wonder how she likes rooming with Virginia, or rather how Virginia likes rooming with her." "She is furious with both Anne and me," declared Grace. "She won't look at either of us. It seems a pity, too. She can be awfully nice when she chooses, and I had begun to feel as though she belonged with us.
If the gees in the wagon clean him, or the desk man gets it, that's their business. But I'm going to run a straight beat, or else!" That was followed by a call to remove a berserk spaceman from one of the so-called rooming houses. Gordon noticed that workmen were busy setting up a heavy wooden gate in front of the entrance to the place.
I am rooming with an Irish family whose floor space is limited, so we all have shake-downs, and in the morning can clear the decks for action with no bedsteads in the way. I am very 'crummy, badly flea-bitten, overrun with bed bugs, somewhat fly-blown, but, redemption of it all, I am free and always drunk.
Twice she had been turned out of rooming houses. Jeff read between the lines that as her time drew near some overmastering impulse had drawn her back to Verden. Already she was harboring the thought of death, but she could not die in a strange place so far from home. Only that morning she had reached town. After she had retired to the bedroom Jeff sat down in the chair she had vacated.
I'd come to see you, call on you, only I know you're just rooming or boarding, and that won't do." Suddenly, with a change of mood, the situation appeared to Dede ridiculously absurd. She felt a desire to laugh not angrily, not hysterically, but just jolly. It was so funny.
Clyde's two-year-old dress suit, that he was bravely wearing without a murmur, had needed pressing and she promised to do it; but she overslept herself till seven-thirty that morning, which made her late at the store, so she'd asked the girl in this rooming house to do it down in the kitchen. The girl had been willing but weak-minded.
Dulcie answered her, her sharp slangy syllables falling incisively after Felicia's low drawl. "I don't know that it's any of your business but they amount to about two hundred dollars. I know what you're thinking, that with the furniture we could open a rooming house. I've been thinking that myself while Miss Day was gone.
So, no doubt, in one sense, he had. She had laid her innocent bait to win his friendship, with never a thought of what was to come of it. "It happened of course while you were rooming there," the editor shot at him. James nodded sullenly. His cousin knew now that more than once he had put away doubts of James.
The girl sank into a chair almost unconsciously as they talked of Madison a great city to them of the Capitol building, of the splendid campus, of the lakes and the gay sailing there in summer and ice-boating in winter, of the struggles of "rooming." "Oh, it makes me homesick!" cried the girl, with a deep sigh. "It was the happiest, sunniest time of all my life. Oh, those walks and talks!
