Then swish, swish, swish, the lady principal came hurrying through the reception hall beyond, with her silk skirts rustling, and her face quite pale. And the girls turned their heads toward her. She raised her hand and said in her soft voice: "Are Miss Martha Reed's roommates here?" And then some more girls with their hats and coats on came running up the steps from the vestibule.
We found two of my roommates smoking and talking before the tiny open fire. Talbot Ward, full of the business in hand, rushed directly at the matter once the introductions were over. Our arrangements were very simple; the chairs were few and pushed back easily, and we had an old set of gloves. "Which is it to be?" I asked my guest, "boxing or wrestling?" "I said you couldn't lick me," he replied.
My roommates were called "the Admiral," "the Dutchman," "the General" and "the Parson," nicknames given each one of them for some personal peculiarity. There were advantages as well as disadvantages in living in "Attica." It was nearest the centre of the life and business of the place. In the winter mornings there was no long walk to meals, as those had who lived at the other houses.
Both girls were tired justly so, for the opening day at Wellington was ever a time of joyous activity, and the day just closed had roared and yelled itself into an evening still vibrant with bristling energy, tack hammers and movie pictures smashing rules and regulations, until the night gong sounded its irrevocable warning.

Roberto left instantly by the window, and Ruth helped Nettie and her roommates repair the damage as well as possible. "I'll buy new curtains for the windows," said the "sugar king's" daughter.

I don't see how Merriwell can keep from working jokes on Hodge all the time. Jingoes! but wouldn't I laugh if he had put some of those crawfish in Hodge's bed!" This fancy convulsed Sammy again, and, just then, Poke hissed: "'Sh! Somebody's coming!

Our roommates evidently intended to make an “all night” of it, for they forthwith commenced the preparation of their morning meal.
Perhaps I've heard of her." "Anne Pierson." "I should say I had heard of her. She is one of the great stars. She is with Everett Southard, isn't she? I've seen their pictures in the magazines." "She graduated from Overton last year. We were roommates throughout our four years here. She is from my home town." "Really and truly?" demanded Evelyn impulsively.

This bent plates, extinguished lights, and brought the submarine again to the surface, where fortunately she was identified in the nick of time. The two commanders had been roommates at Annapolis.

I shuddered at the prospect-fourteen bunks in one small room, and those whisky-sodden, loud-cursing card-players to be my roommates for the night!
