Oddly, the idea of a kid like this mixed up in an interplanetary war bothered him. He turned to go, then hesitated. "Got a newspaper or a directory around that I could borrow?" The boy fished a paper out of a wastebasket. "It's all yours, captain. The whole place is yours. Slam the door when you go out. I'm going over to the Cathay office." "I'll go along," Duke offered.
And then I got angry and said things; and he said I ought to be ashamed of myself." "But aren't you going to have the pram?" "I don't know. I don't expect so. He went out without saying." "That's like a man. Go out and slam the door if you don't want to give an answer!" "Julia, I I'm afraid I hurt his feelings. I made him say, 'My God!" "That's nothing. They speak of God like a man in the street.
"I " began Hawker. "Oh, Hollie," cried the girl impetuously, "do tell me how to do that slam thing, you know. I've tried it so often, but I don't believe I hold my racket right. And you do it so beautifully." "Oh, that," said Hollanden. "It's not so very difficult. I'll show it to you. You don't want to know this minute, do you?" "Yes," she answered. "Well, come over to the court, then.
George took the wedges, and, accompanied by Cross crept noiselessly up to the galley-door to leeward, Mr Bowen meanwhile making his way to the corresponding door on the weather side. There was a loud slam, a moment of silence, then a tremendous outcry, accompanied by the sound of heavy battering from inside the galley, and the three adventurers met again at the forecastle hatch.
Willoughby, affecting to stifle a yawn "but Willard, fortunately, doesn't have to think of that." Mrs. Willoughby gave her gloves a disdainful, careless twirl, and went on her way to her room. To her astonishment, a few moments later, she heard the front door slam. Willoughby had gone out.
The knowledge of this fact was the slam of the closing door, whereby Annie found her soul shut out to wander in a night of dismay. The woman who told the fact saw nothing of consequence in it; Mrs. Melville, to whom she was telling it, saw nothing but perhaps a lesson on the duty of having chimneys regularly swept, because of the danger to neighboring thatch.
"You seem very much at home here, young man. Are you a great friend of Rockmetteller's?" "Oh, yes, rather!" She frowned as if she had expected better things of old Rocky. "Well, you need to be," she said, "the way you treat his flat as your own!" I give you my word, this quite unforeseen slam simply robbed me of the power of speech.
Slam and Bang often darted off for a race and Eddo nearly gave them up for lost; but they always came back wagging their tails and capering about as if to say: "Hello, Eddo, we ran away just to scare you, and we'll do it again if we please!" It was a great day for dogs. Ever so many dogs ran out to meet Slam and Bang.
It'll lock of itself if you slam it. Half-past nine, you know. Let us say from half-past nine to four, or half-past four, or thereabouts; one day, perhaps, a little earlier, another day, perhaps, a little later, according as you feel disposed, and as you arrange your work. Mr Fips, Austin Friars of course you'll remember? And you won't forget to slam the door, if you please!
Jadwin turned to Hargus, with a solemn wink. "He did slam it after all, didn't he?" The old fellow, however, sat fingering the two checks in silence. Then he looked up at Jadwin, scared and trembling. "I I don't know," he murmured, feebly. "I am a very old man. This this is a great deal of money, sir. I I can't say; I I don't know. I'm an old man ... an old man." "You won't lose 'em, now?"
