"You know that book you lent me the other day," went on Tom, "that book of Kipling's where there is a story about a ship that found herself. It means a lot, does that story. That's what this war has done for a lot of us chaps, it's helped us to find ourselves." The guard blew his whistle, and there was a slamming of doors. "Good-bye, Alice," and Tom held her close to his heart.
The wind was blowing so hard when the visitor came out at the shop-door into the darkness and dirt of Limehouse Hole, that it almost blew him in again. Doors were slamming violently, lamps were flickering or blown out, signs were rocking in their frames, the water of the kennels, wind-dispersed, flew about in drops like rain.
That's my tip to you and be damned to you, Mr. Cyrus Blackleg Ruggles." Annixter stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him, and Ruggles, trembling with anger, turned to his desk and to the blotting pad written all over with the words LANDS, TWENTY DOLLARS, TWO AND A HALF, OPTION, and, over and over again, with great swelling curves and flourishes, RAILROAD, RAILROAD, RAILROAD.
'Take your old cat in the bag, said the matron, slamming the door in the face of Miss Blowser. After the trial for breach of promise of marriage, and after paying the very considerable damages which Miss Blowser demanded and received, old Mr. Fulton hardened his heart, and engaged a male chef. The gratitude of Mrs. Gisborne, now free from all anxiety, was touching.
"I was not asleep at that time, doctor. I had been roused by the slamming of the door, which mamma had closed very noisily when she came in." One and the same presentiment made M. Folgat tremble and the doctor. "You must be mistaken, Martha," the doctor went on. "Your mamma had not come back at the time of the fire." "Oh, yes, sir!" "No, you are mistaken."
"And I'll write a short letter to post at Malta," said Veath, and they separated. A short while later, a steward passed Hugh's stateroom, and he called to him to step to the next door and tell Miss Ridge that he was ready. "Miss Ridge just went up with her gentleman " the man responded; but Hugh interrupted, slamming the door.
"I'll bet it was Joe Ramsey leavin' a sack o' hickor' nuts fer us," she said eagerly, slamming the door. "You better bolt the door. He might change his mind an' come back fer 'em," observed her husband. "It don't feel like hickor' nuts. Why, Eva, it's a baskit a reg'lar clothes baskit. What in thunder do " "Let's get a light out by the kitchen fire. It's too cold in here."
Marcus urbanely responded that nothing could give him greater pleasure. The son, darting a last malignant look at his father, whose face was happily averted, strode out of the room, slamming the door, and afterward the street door, with increased emphasis. When he had gone, the father said to his visitor, feebly: "Have I done right?" "Precisely.
My teacher once kept me in for slamming a door; I told my mother about it and admitted that I had slammed it purposely because my teacher was so cross. In the guise of an entertaining story, she told me how the teacher, a pretty young woman named Miss Miller, had come to teach a big class, a stranger, alone, and that perhaps she had a headache from having cried the night before from homesickness.
"At least make him keep quiet," cried the mother in a fury. "We can no longer hear ourselves speak." And she went out, slamming the door, while Elegant hastened to awaken the sleeper. "Really you might snore less loudly!" she said with impatience. "All is discovered now." When he heard this, Ya-nei's body was frozen with terror as if he had received a drenching in cold water. His teeth chattered.
