A half hour later ghostly noises began to come from that room and mysterious whisperings fell out of the window and bumped over the lawn. When I reached the front door I found that the gardener had left, the waitress was leaving, and the cook was telephoning for a policeman. "Where is Mrs. Henry?" I asked Mary, the cook. "She is still developing," said Mary. "What has she developed?" I inquired.
I had recovered entirely from my disappointment in failing to draw a claim, as I thought, knowing nothing about the mistake in telephoning the names over. "I used to be quick to get over things that were based on hope that way," he smiled, turning to her for a second and scarcely noting how she leaned forward to listen. "Just then I was all sheep.
So, knowing that we might be late, I took the liberty of telephoning to Miss Mercer and said that, if she didn't mind, I'd take you two to luncheon somewhere and bring you back in the afternoon." Bessie gasped at the cool daring of the way in which he told the lie.
"You got such luck with your roses, Hattie; it's wonderful!" They were beneath a climbing bush of them that ran along, glorifying a wooden fence. She pulled a fan of them to her face. "M-m-m-m!" "I must spray for worms to-morrow," he said. They resumed their soft walking in the gloom. "Where's Effie?" "Telephoning."
So it is that sometimes, in the lulls of telephoning and signing contracts and talking to salesmen and preparing estimates and dictating letters "that must get off to-night" and trying to wriggle out of serving on the golf club's house committee, my friend flings away his cigar, gets a corncob pipe out of his desk drawer, and contemplates his key ring a trifle wistfully.
He had been frantically excited ever since Sunday at the idea of doing tableaux before Olga, and today in especial had been a mere feverish hash of telephoning and sewing which all ended in nothing at all, for neither tableaux nor romps seemed to hold the least attraction for him now that Olga was not going to be there.
There is a quiet about Monte Carlo which is very restful, especially if one can get a villa on the hill away from the railway. I told Morden yesterday to take the new car across and meet us at Boulogne. He says that the new body is exquisite. There is a micraphonic attachment for telephoning to the driver, the electrical heating apparatus is splendid and " "Meredith was married."
Civilly enough, with a precise and educated usage of the English language, he confirmed what Eddie Hughes had already told me about the telephoning from that place this morning; and I went no further. I know the Chinese if anybody not Mongolian can say they know the race and I have also a suitable respect for the value of time.
It seemed to him that he ought to do something about it immediately. The rest of the week he merely waited to see what sort of person the totally unknown Miss Ruth Winslow might be. His most active occupation outside the office was feeling guilty over not telephoning to Gertie.
"Don't tell the batteries to 'search back," broke in the colonel, who had heard me telephoning. "It's a confusing expression. Tell them to 'search east, or 'north-east' in this case." By a quarter to four the telephone wires were buzzing feverishly. More S.O.S. rockets had gone up. The enemy had launched a very heavy counter-attack.
