Also, no one had called for transistors in nearly three weeks." "Isn't that unusual?" Scotty asked. "Not particularly. Each project has its own stock-room. Since we're a new base, the projects have been working from an initial supply." "So the transistors may have been missing for some time?" "They could have been missing since the last requisition, exactly nineteen days ago.
These sixty-six men are supposed to have been imported by you and are now working at this mill." "This is all nonsense!" protested the manager, growing pale. "Forty men are sleeping in a near-by barn, and twenty-six in the stock-room of the mill," added Mr. Burke. "That isn't criminal, sir." "No, indeed. The criminal act is their false registration, so far," said the detective, blandly.
Out in the stock-room, under her supervision, there was scientifically packed into sample-trunks and cases a line of Featherloom skirts and knickers calculated to dazzle Brazil and entrance Argentina. And into her own personal trunk there went a wardrobe, each article of which was a garment with a purpose. Emma McChesney knew the value of a smartly tailored suit in a business argument.
Perry grew anxious if they were long away, and nervous if she were left alone when the light began to fade. They stepped along so briskly that by half-past two they were in the town, and making their way to the shop where Miss Rose had bought the raffia before. The purchase took a little time, for the shopman had not enough out, and had to send to the stock-room to get some.
Two months later found T. A. Buck and his sales-manager, both shirt- sleeved, both smoking nervously, as they marked, ticketed, folded, arranged. They were getting out the travelers' spring lines. Entered Mrs. McChesney, and stood eying them, worriedly. It was her dozenth visit to the stock-room that morning. A strange restlessness seemed to trouble her.
Morrill would be vexed, for she kept mill boarders and baked quantities of brown bread and gingerbread and molasses cookies for over Sunday. He did wish trade would languish altogether on this particular morning. The minutes dragged by and again there was perfect quiet in the stock-room.
She flitted about the great barnlike structure like a contented child, insisted upon displaying the trim stock-room to Paul, demanded a demonstration of the switchboard, spread her pretty hands over the whirling water that showed under the glass of the water-wheels, and hung, fascinated, over the governors. "I never get used to it," said Patricia, above the steady roaring of the river.
There is no necessity for your going with me now. You can return to the store; but remember, not a word of this, even to Massanet." "I'll remember, sir." When Richard returned to the stock-room, his friend, of course, wanted to know what was up, but the boy only replied that it was all right, and that Mr. Mann had requested him to keep silent.
"I can't wait any longer." Mr. Hesse's face expressed surprise. It didn't matter what he did just so he got out of this rut. In a dream he stepped from the elevator into the stock-room, and walking to an unused aisle, sat down on a box, covering his face with his hands. His brain was whirring with the frightful jar of discovering a platitude for himself.
Why not pack up an outfit of clothes? Bostil had a stock-room full of such accessories for his men. Then Lucy, glowing with the thought, hurried to Bostil's stock-room, and with deft hands and swift judgment selected an outfit for the rider, even down to a comb and razor.
