The old feeling of jealousy that was connected with Como again disturbed him. "She thinks that I am a hopeless, brainless idiot," he said to himself. "And I don't blame her, either." Just before nightfall he noticed that his friends were assembling in the bow. As he started to join the group "Subway" Smith and DeMille advanced to meet him.
The telephone rang, but was ignored. "Send it off," he directed Bean above the bell's clear call. "Then c'mon; go ball game. G'wup 'n subway." "Got car downstairs," suggested Bean. "You got your work cut out f'r you; 'sall I got t' say," growled Breede. "'S little old last year's car," said Bean modestly.
Like Marco Polo and Mungo Park pioneers indeed, but ambitious souls who could not draw the line of demarcation between discovery and invention the literary bones of these explorers are dotting the trackless wastes of the subway.
Though German shells of large caliber were falling in the city at frequent intervals, the casemate in which we lunched was so far beneath the surface of the earth that the sound of the explosions did not reach us.

Only those who were so sympathetic with Germany that they were anti-American found it pleasant to live there. One day one of the American girls employed in the confidential file room of the American Embassy was slapped in the face until she cried, by a German in civilian clothes, because she was speaking English in the subway.
There were not many passengers going out on the island, but scores of commuters were hurrying through the station on their way to their offices and other places of employment. "You don't see many of the commuters up here," Dicky remarked. "There's a passage direct from the trains to the subway on the lower level, and most of them take that.
What could he do? A gnawing sensation in the region of the waistcoat answered the question. The solution which it put forward was, it was true, but a temporary one, yet it appealed strongly to Jimmy. He had found it admirable at many crises. He would go and lunch, and it might be that food would bring inspiration. He moved from his doorway and crossed to the entrance of the subway.
