The vendor beggars, so familiar a sight a few years ago, have all but disappeared, and you may walk from Waterloo Station to the Haymarket without so much as meeting a needy soul anxious to carry your bag. Taxicabs are in great demand.
"Well," said the young man, "the two things that struck me most about Dublin were the dirt and the want of taxicabs." A dead silence followed this remark. Never tell an Irishman that Dublin is dirty. Hennessey was dumb, and as for Phyl, she knew now that she hated this man. "Of course," went on the other, "it's a fine old city and I'm not sure that I would alter it or even brush it up.
New York is an awful place endless, narrow, torn-up streets crowded with hurrying throngs, taxicabs, cars, and full of noise and dust. I am always choked for air. And these streets reek. Where do the people come from and where are they going? They look wild, as if they had to go somewhere, but did not know where that was.
To this must be added the excess used in cars that work longer and harder, and in the host of taxicabs that are in business almost all the time, which will probably swell the annual expenditure for gasoline well beyond twenty millions. As in the case of rubber, there is beginning to be some apprehension about the future supply of high-power gasoline, so great is the demand.
Whistling tree toads replace the constant whir of buses and taxicabs. Most of us cannot be so extravagant. We are fortunate to have one home, either in the city or the country. Renting or buying it entails sacrifices, and maintaining it has its unexpected expenses that always come at the wrong time.
So you see I know what I'm talking about when I say that a woman who would leave a man on a door-step on an afternoon like this is the kind that would shut up the house and go away for the summer leaving the cat to forage for itself." "But think of your nice warm apartment, and the subways and street-cars and taxicabs and hansoms which will swiftly bear you thither."
The city seemed stretched on a broiler directly above the furnaces of Avernus. There was a kind of tepid gayety afoot and awheel in the boulevards, mainly evinced by languid men strolling about in straw hats and evening clothes, and rows of idle taxicabs with their flags up, looking like a blockaded Fourth of July procession.
"Yes, I found it in the ampulla and in the stain on the portiere where the needle had pierced through." "The towel, though " "Is something else. First thing in the morning we'll follow that up, as I promised you. Meanwhile let's concentrate on motives." A long line of private cars and taxicabs outside Jacques' testified to the popularity of the restaurant.
The Republic ousted the bogus nobility. The subways and the tram cars connect the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes so closely that the poorest may make himself at home in either or both. The automobile, too, oddly enough, is proving a very leveller. The crowd recognizes nobody amid the hurly-burly of coupes, pony-carts, and taxicabs, each trying to pass the other.
She is never still, and she fidgits right through her clothes." "That is $83.33 1/3 cents a month. Make it thirty four cents. But no bills, Barbara." "And no extras," my mother observed, in a stern tone. "Candy, tennis balls and matinee tickets?" I asked. "All included," said father. "And Church collection also, and ice cream and taxicabs and Xmas gifts." Ah, me! How happy I was!
