"Show me to the manager, at once," he said. The waiter instinctively felt how much in earnest he was, and obeyed him. "This way, sir," he whispered. "There are two German spies in the smoke-room," Bob said to the manager a minute later, and he explained how he had been led to this conclusion. "Did you serve two men in the smoking-room?" asked the manager, turning to the waiter.
"No, but I'm afraid of Partridge coming in and seeing us. He might think it rather odd." "He won't come in. It doesn't matter what Partridge thinks." "Oh, doesn't it!" "He won't come in." He drew a little closer to her. "He will. He will. He'll come and clear away the things. I hear him coming." He got up and went to the door of the smoke-room, to the further door, and looked out.
These pictures executed in both oil and water-colour represented out-of-the-way scenes visited, or incidents participated in by the members who had executed them, and all possessed a considerable amount of artistic merit; it being a rule of the club that every picture should be submitted to a hanging committee of distinctly artistic members before it could be allowed a place upon the smoke-room walls.
"A woman! that one word, you dog, will explain the mystery will show you why I am thus transmuted, TRANSMOGRIFIED, and in 'a state of betweenity. Nothing less, I assure you, could make me disguise myself after the present fashion; wear the sanctimonious and sour phiz which the common law of modern religion prescribes, and keep me much longer from the pleasanter communion of such glorious imps, as I suppose, are, even now, beginning to gather in the dingy smoke-room of our sovereign Murkey.
It was on the second afternoon that Captain Keller appeared in the smoke-room. He was a man of about my own build and almost as bronzed, but fair haired and his carriage proclaimed the soldier before he introduced himself. I was idly enjoying the comfort of wicker chairs and windows which framed white decks and dancing seas.
Their journey back by train and steamer the two men in dungarees and life-vests, and Doc in sea-boots and one of those sheepskin coats they wear on destroyers was noteworthy but not seagoing, so it is passed up here. Doc made his port. We met him in the King's Hotel smoke-room, and he told us all about it.
"And you'd do well to sit in the smoke-room, sir," further advised the sailor-man, clinging to the rail with one hand and pocketing the coin with the other. "No," said R. Schmidt resolutely. "I don't like the air in the smoke- room." "There's quite a bit of air out 'ere, sir." "I need quite a bit." "I should think you might, sir, being a 'ealthy, strappin' sort of a chap, sir. 'Elp yourself.
A settee in red plush, salvage from the smoke-room of a liner, ran round the walls, with the very mahogany tables before it which it knew when afloat. Some men in dingy uniforms and dungarees were at the tables. Two men I did not know stood leaning over the bar talking confidentially across it to a woman who was only a laugh, for she was hidden.
Scarborough came to dinner a few evenings later and Dumont was particularly cordial to him; and Gladys made the most of the opportunity which Pauline again gave her. That night, when the others had left or had gone to bed, Gladys followed her brother into the smoke-room adjoining the library. They sat in silence drinking a "night-cap."
Prettyman for myself; and I shall have the privilege of executing your commission as Mrs. Loring's escort. It sounds a very agreeable one!" "You have no time to lose," said Mrs. de Tracy with a glance at the clock. Lavendar escaped from the house, where, even in the smoke-room, it seemed unregenerate to light a cigar, and took the path to the shore.
