"A German spy, doubtless masquerading as an American soldier, and right here on a United States transport loaded with fifteen hundred soldiers and tons of guns and ammunition." "Yes," said Joe contemplatively, "that's the very serious part of it all the fifteen hundred soldiers and tons of guns and ammunition." "Sh-h-h-h!" Slim, who was standing nearest the door, had heard footsteps.
With a cry that broke on its highest note Miss Binswanger sprang to her feet, her arms clasping about her father's neck. "Oh, papa! Papa! Mamma!" "'Sh-h-h-h! the door-bell! Go to the door, Izzy; I guess maybe that's Ray back or your friend. Ach, such excitement! Already I feel like we're on the boat." "Oh, mamma, mamma!"
Who is it?" asked Oscar, breathlessly. She was the first well-dressed young lady he had seen since leaving Iowa. "Sh-h-h-h!" whispered Charlie. "That's Quindaro. A young fellow pointed her out to me last night, just after we drove into the settlement. She lives with her folks in that tall, thin house up there. I have been looking for her to come out.
She sprang back from the curve of his embrace, unshed tears immediately distilled. "Why, honey I didn't mean it that way! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. What I meant was 'sh-h-h-h, Loo all I meant was, it's coming to you. Where'd the fun be if I couldn't make this town point up its ears at my girl? Nobody knows any better than your hubby what his Loo was cut out for.
"'Sh-h-h-h, Miriam, don't you cry." "Ach, now, Carrie " "I tell you, Simon, I 'ain't been a wife that has made such demands on you, but I guess you think it's a comfort that a mother should hear that in society her daughter has to take a back seat." "When she 'ain't got a front seat she should take a second seat. I don't need no seat.
"Sh-h-h-h!" says I. "Maybe she'll feed you frosted cake. It's one of her tricks." She didn't, though. She looked about as smilin' as a dill pickle when she showed up, and she opened the ball by askin' what I meant, bringin' strangers there. "Well," says I, "you've been askin' a lot about him lately; so I thought I'd lug him around. This is Brother Bill."
"'Sh-h-h-h." He retreated behind the mauve-colored swinging-door. The two remaining sibyls, hatted and coated to crane the neck of the passer-by, hurried arm-in-arm out into the spring evening. An errand girl, who had dropped her skirt and put up her hair so that the eye of the law might wink at her stigma of youth, hung the shimmering gowns away for another day's display.
She slid her hand finally into one of the voluminous folds of her dress, withdrawing and placing a rubber-bound roll into his hands. "There, honey. Go to sleep now like a king." He fingered it, finally sitting up to count, leaning forward to the ring of lamplight. "Six hundred bucks! Six hundred! Wow oh, wow! If Sid could only see me now!" "He can, honey he can. Go to sleep. 'Sh-h-h-h!"
Doubled over until his chin rested almost upon the sharp points of his knees, he gazed steadily at the beacon, and as he looked it shuddered and grew dark, like a firefly that suddenly closes its wings. With a quick spring the councilor straightened himself and turned to the master of the Typhoon. "You have a good nose, Nat," he said, "but your ears are not so good. Sh-h-h-h!"
No; it's too fussy!" "Why don't they play something with a tune to it? I wouldn't give a row of pins for music without any air at all." "Sh-h-h-h, mamma. There isn't much tune to classical music." "I wish the first violinist would play a solo. 'Warum, like last time. I've some baby ribbon just like that, Lilly. I picked it up on sale in Gentle's basement bins " "Mamma, don't stare so."
