And that was a darned careless place to put it, too," he added, testily. "I'd have given any feller that worked for me the devil for doin' such a thing." Jed nodded, sympathetically. "But you might have left it there to Sylvester's," he said. "Have you thought of telephonin' to find out?" "Have I thought? Tut, tut, tut! Do you think I've got a head like a six-year-old young-one or you?
So I begun with Ellen. "'You're sick, child, says I, havin' her alone at the time. 'It looks to me like neuralgia. "Well, you're a doctor I don't have to tell you how easy it is to make a person think they're sick. And that's my specialty makin' people think things. In half an hour, I had that girl whoop-in' an' Martin telephonin' for a doctor.
He had engaged a plane to fly up to Higginbotham's camp, plannin' to be there first thing in the mornin'. When he didn't come up to the airport, the pilot began telephonin'. Finally, about eight o'clock or so in the morning, an old woman who takes care of Schurman's apartment, came and found him hangin'. That's about all we got, Jimmy."
Well, Lizzie sez to me, 'That's funny, it is, because she watched they two goin' on the river, and was in the box a long time telephonin' to a shuffer called Dale, at Hereford. Thinks I, 'It's funnier that the shuffer who's here should be expectin' a chap named Dale, but I said nothink. I never does to wimmen.
"Oh, hurry, please do hurry, Mollie!" A small cyclone precipitated itself out of the house and into Mollie's arms. "Muvver's cwyin' tuwible and she's telephonin' to evwybody to make you come home quick. Oh oh " This was the beginning of a muffled wail silenced by Mollie's hand over the small one's mouth. "Dodo, don't cry," Mollie implored. "What is the matter with mother? Is she sick?
If there's anything, I'll let you know. We've been telegraphin' and telephonin' everywhere to see if we can get track of her, and we've been to all her friends' homes to ask if they've seen her. I wish, if you feel like it, you'd go over and see Mrs. Vick. Maybe you can cheer her up, encourage her or something. She's terribly worried.
Malcolm must think 'twas important, for I understand they've been telephonin' and askin' for appointments for the last two days. Why, yes! and they come way down here in all this storm on purpose to talk it over with him. Am I wrong? Ain't that so, ma'am?" It was so, and Mrs. Dunn could not well deny it. Therefore, she took refuge in a contemptuous silence. The captain nodded.
There was half a dozen steamboat firms telegraphin' and telephonin' the morning after that storm, and I had to leave without waitin' till she got home. There was a wreck off Cape Cod, and that kept me away a week, and I was hurryin' back by way of Boston. And I saw him me hurryin' up Atlantic Avenue to take the train and him headed for the docks. I hailed him.
But I had to have my ear stretched to get it and even then I might have missed the connection if I'd been doin' a sleep walkin' act. As it is I'm pikin' past the servants' wing out toward the garage to bring around the little car for a start home, and Stella happens to be telephonin' from the butler's pantry with the window part open.
It's no good arguin' wi' yer, yer won't see any side 'cept yer own." But a third man, bringing the argument back to its original subject, said: "I reckon it's all bloody lies what's in the papers. They caught the gunners when they was telephonin' to Jerry. They stood the 'ole bleed'n' lot up aginst a wall an' shot 'em serve 'em right too." "Go on tell us another!" "I bet yer it's true, now then!"
