"I think," she said, "a woman's behavior at sales is a test, don't you?" I said I thought her behavior as regarded swing-doors was a surer one. She said she hadn't thought of that. "But I know what you mean; I do dislike the flouncing, pushing woman. I think every one should be taught to be courteous and gentle, don't you?" She added, "I hate being pushed."
Donkin could hardly believe his ears. He was scandalised "Would she? Yer wouldn't be any good to 'er," he said with unrestrained disgust. Wait was not there to hear him. He was swaggering up the East India Dock Road; saying kindly, "Come along for a treat," pushing glass swing-doors, posing with superb assurance in the gaslight above a mahogany counter.
Then he's makin' a fast goer bet you' life! I haf give heem " He suddenly interrupted himself and laid firm hold upon the man's arm. "You coom wit' me!" he invited, and began to drag the other toward the swing-doors. "You coom look at thot potrillo!" They went outside. On the curb, Felipe gazed about him, first with a look of pride, then with an expression of blank dismay.
The noise about the swing-doors, and the rustle in the aisles, the banging of hinged seats, and the occasional parley with the usher, render the seats under the galleries practically valueless during the first half of the performance, since the speakers cannot be heard in the midst of the confusion.
The last person Beasley expected to see in his bar at that hour of the day was Buck. He was not even sure he wanted to see him after what had passed. Yet Buck suddenly pushed his way through the swing-doors.

Aggrieved, Kennicott stopped drawing plans, and in ten days the new house was forgotten. Every year since their marriage Carol had longed for a trip through the East.
When we got back to the theatre all the three teams were busy again. The bearers came in with a case, and one of them said: "This is the last Englishman, sir. There's about half a dozen Fritzes to do, sir." "Bring 'em along let's get the job done." The swing-doors were pushed open and two bearers appeared with a stretcher on which a man clothed in grey was lying. His dark hair was matted.
"What d'ye mean by fallen?" snapped Miss Vickers, confronting him fiercely. "Fallen into a pub," explained Mr. Russell, hastily; "anybody might fall through them swing-doors; they're made like that o' purpose." "You've fell through a good many in your time," interposed Mr. Vickers, with great bitterness. "I know I 'ave," said the other, sadly; "but never no more.
Now, there was no doubt that this cook in the mountain inn was a very unserviceable young fellow. "Swing-doors with their upper half glazed, might have their uses," he says, and he does not see why a boy should not be permitted to complain, if he is roasted, like Tom Brown, before a large fire.
They stopped before the swing-doors. An obsequious official came forward to greet them as they descended, and Mordaunt entered into conversation with him. Two soldiers were on guard here also, standing like images on each side of the entrance. Noel studied them with frank interest. Chris stood and waited as one in a dream. At last her husband turned to her.
