For it was September of the year and of the soul, in which season the house's good man comes to consider roof gardens and stenographers as vanities, and to desire the return of his mate and the more durable blessings of decorum and the moral excellencies. The burglar lighted a cigarette. The guarded glow of the match illuminated his salient points for a moment.
Langhorne, when seen by the reporters, stated positively that nothing of great value had been taken and that the firm would not suffer in any way as a result of the robbery. One of the stenographers in the office, Miss Betty Blackwell, who acted as private secretary to Mr. Langhorne, is missing and the case has already attracted wide attention.
I certainly thought the stenographers' fingers would fly off, and all the office boys moved with a hop, skip, and jump; really, the slowest things in the rooms were the electric fans whizzing around. By half-past eleven Mr. We had "lunch" at Sherry's another swell restaurant and took a trip up the Hudson in the afternoon, getting back at half-past ten "Just in time," said Mr.
They seemed like forgotten enemies rising to stop him. How could Delbridge smile in his smug way, as he chewed his cigar and boasted of a new club of which he was the president?

Some were standing on the stenographers' table and on the ushers' chairs below the tribune.
The disk of the electrical apparatus was divided off into many sections, calling respectively for saddle-horses, symphony concerts, ocean steamships, bath-towels, stenographers; cocktails of all sorts, and some sorts of which I had never before heard, and all of which I resolved to try in discreet sequence; manicures, chiropodists, astrologers, prophets, clergymen of all denominations, plots for novelists indeed, anything that any person in any station of life might chance to desire could be got for the ringing.
Half a dozen frightened stenographers stood there, huddled together. "What's the matter?" Arthur demanded. Men were running, from the other floors to see what the trouble was. "The the windows broke, and and something flew in at us!" one of them gasped. There was a crash inside the nearest office and the women screamed again.
