"It's so big and and whirly!" says she. "I don't like things to be whirly. Then the people are so strange, and their faces so hard. If if I should fall down in one of those crowds, I'm sure they would walk right over me, trample on me, without caring." "Pooh!" says I. "You'll work up a rush-hour nerve in a month or so. Of course, havin' always lived in a place like Naukeesha "
The Captain herded them into another room, where a clerk efficiently fingerprinted them. Then they went down a ramp to a jitney-platform, and boarded a U.N. official car. The trip into the city was slow; rush-hour traffic from the port was heavy. When they reached U.N. headquarters, there was another wait in an upper level ante-room.
'Next Time Ask the Barkeep Why He Doesn't Drink, and, 'Mighty Elephants Like Rum and Are Chained Slaves." "You'll find more moralizing on booze if you look farther. It's one of the subjects they talk most about." "'The Sardine is Dead: Therefore More Comfortable Than You, Mr. Straphanger," read Marrineal. "Go up in the rush-hour L any day and you'll hear that editorial with trimmings."
The streets were filled with the rush-hour floods of people. The electric lights of Broadway were glowing calling moths from miles, from leagues, from hundreds of leagues out of darkness around to come in and attend the singeing school.
It was not yet the rush-hour for the run back to London, and we easily got an empty compartment, in which we were presently joined by a group of extremely handsome people, all of a southern type, but differing in age and sex. There were a mother and a daughter, and a father evidently soon to become a father-in-law, and the young man who was to make him so.
If you are one of the favored few, privileged to ride in chaises, you may find the combination of Broadway during the evening rush-hour, in a late November storm, stimulating you may, that is, provided you have a reliable driver. Claire Lang had been standing in the drenching wet at the street-crossing for fully ten minutes.
And there were days that packed into the space of a few hours the concentrated essence of a music-hall knock-about sketch, an earthquake, a football scrummage, and the rush-hour on the Tube; when the office was full of shouting men, when strange figures dived in and out and banged doors like characters in an old farce, and Harold, the proud office-boy, lost his air of being on the point of lunching with a duke at the club and perspired like one of the proletariat.
"Fifteen cents, madam," he demanded. She retreated discreetly to the shadow of the apartment hallway to dive into her stocking bank, while he watched two bedraggled sparrows on the sidewalk until she reappeared. On his return, he found the trains running on the five-minute, rush-hour schedule. Each carried its revenue of small change for the eager, clamoring boys.
Medora took heart, a cheap hall bedroom and two art lessons a week from Professor Angelini, a retired barber who had studied his profession in a Harlem dancing academy. There was no one to set her right, for here in the big city they do it unto all of us. The most pathetic sight in New York except the manners of the rush-hour crowds is the dreary march of the hopeless army of Mediocrity.
To see the Subway in its most characteristic mood one must travel on it during the rush-hour, when its patrons are packed into the carriages in one solid jam by muscular guards and policemen, shoving in a manner reminiscent of a Rugby football scrum. When Psmith and Billy entered it on the Friday evening, it was comparatively empty.
