On my return, after a brief absence, she was gone, and a frequent and thorough search on the first floor did not disclose her. She was to have dined with me at seven-thirty. She did not keep the engagement. I dined alone, and had just begun the meal when a letter was handed to me asking that I dine with her in her apartment, No. 972.
When she was out of earshot, he put his head out of the window and cried: "Go on!" The cab proceeded on its way and stopped at the Coq-Faisan. Georges entered the dining-room and ate slowly, looking at his watch from time to time. At seven-thirty he left and drove to Rue La Rochefoucauld.
Thereupon Bobby got out his catalogues and told them of the second-hand self-inker to be had for twenty-five dollars, Enthusiasm burned at fever heat for about three days, then the sickening realization that the total capital of Orde & English, Job Printers including the four dollars was just seven-thirty pricked that bright dream. The approach of Christmas inspired Johnny with a new idea.
"Possibly I've talked too much about the parson, but there's one thing that is often denied him and he longs for it intensely companionship with his fellow men. The sacrifice of that one thing hurts more than any other privation. And now that this one-sided symposium on the parson must have taxed your good nature, let's go to bed. We lift anchor at seven-thirty, and I go over the side at seven.
That is real New England, you know. Very cordially yours, Edward was there at eight o'clock. Strictly speaking, he was there at seven-thirty, and found the author already at his desk in that room overlooking the Charles River. "Well," was the cheery greeting, "you couldn't wait until eight for your breakfast, could you? Neither could I when I was a boy.
So about seven-thirty Saturday night I was some chilly in the ankles. I'd called for J. Bayard at his hotel, and he'd shown up with the Major. No figment of the imagination, either, the Major. He's a big, husky, rich-colored party that's some imposin' and decorative in open-faced togs; quiet and shy actin', though, just as Steele had said. I sort of took to him, and we swaps friendly greetin's.
With all the guilty tremors of one who cooks an intrigue, I sent a note to Ellaline's room, just after she had gone to bed, asking if she were "sporting enough" to come for a walk at seven-thirty. I thought that way of putting the invitation would fetch her, and it did; but perhaps a card I enclosed had something to do with her prompt acceptance.
Cup of tea in bed, of a morning?" "Yaas." "Dinner at two?" "We call it luncheon." "Are you a ventriloquist?" "No." "Then it is only your lips call it luncheon. Your poor stomach, could it speak, would call it dinner. Afternoon tea?" "Yaas." "At seven-thirty another dinner. Tea after that. Your afflicted stomach gets no rest. You eat pastry?" "I confess it." "And sugar in a dozen forms?"
He made a quick toilet, and at seven-thirty, a good hour before the lot would wake up, he was dressed and at the door. It might be chancy, opening that door; so he peered through a narrow crack at first, listening intently. He could hear nothing and no one was in sight. He pushed the latch string through its hole, then opened the door enough to emit his slender shape.
They began work at seven-thirty, and at ten minutes past eight every hammer stopped. In the Senate Chamber and in the House, on the stairways and in the corridors, in every office from the Governor's to the custodian's they laid down their implements and rose to their feet. A long whistle had sounded through the building. There was magic in its note.
