You would hardly believe it, but it's true." "I do believe it," said Grace soberly. "It seems a shame, too, when I think of the amount of time and money we spend there."
I ain't so green as I look by no manner o' means. I've been doing my own housekeeping for four terms." "I know all about that," laughed the girl. "You young men rooming do precious little cooking and no dish-washing at all." "That's a base calumny! I made it a point to wash every dish in the house, except the spider, once a week; had a regular cleaning-up day." "And about the spider?"
Sam returned to his old place on the "Evening News," in St. Louis, where he remained until the following year, rooming with a youth named Burrough, a journeyman chair-maker with literary taste, a reader of the English classics, a companionable lad, and for Samuel Clemens a good influence. By spring, Orion Clemens had married and had sold out in Muscatine. He was now located in Keokuk, Iowa.

There is real poverty in those rooming houses, and I have never seen vice so defiant and shameless." "It's a shifty place, that," McCrae replied.
Charlie Reynolds growled. Frank Nelsen looked at the Kuzaks, floating near. "Well what could we do?" Joe Kuzak, the gentler twin, whispered. "He came back to Jarviston, to our rooming house, one night. We promised to help him a little. What are you going to do with a character nuts enough about space to armor up and stuff himself inside a blastoff drum? Of course he didn't come that way from home.

Grace Montgomery's friends began to cheer for her. The friends of the other candidates and there were several kept still. "Wait!" advised Jennie, in a stage whisper.
