When he see the glass he asked if I had a license, and I told him I didn't sell no liquor, and he asked me what that was, and I told him it was whiskey, and then he got the bottle and took a smell of it, and then he held up the glass and turned it upside down and out drapped a ten-cent piece. Then he 'rested me!" The jury was all attention now; the several exhibits were coming into view.
That man who is now president of this road had somewhere seen a highly colored story about me in a magazine, a ten-cent magazine, you know. He had spotted me the first time I walked into his office, and told me a long time afterward it was just like seeing a man walk out of a book, and that he had hard work to keep from falling on my neck. He knew what he wanted me for; it was just this thing.
There were parish schools also perhaps others; and off some dark alley, in a room on the ground-floor, could be heard the strident noise of education going on in high-voiced study and recitation. Nor were amusements lacking notices of balls, dancing this evening, and ten-cent shows in palaces of legerdemain and deformity.
He demanded and got the permission, with another ten-cent tax another hour off to visit the market. But he found nobody who would hire a boy at once. Some of the farmers doubted if he knew as much about farm-work as he claimed to know. He was, after all, a boy, and some of them would not believe that he had even worked in the country. Affairs at the Emporium were getting strained, too.
Ruthie had no answer but a kiss and a smile. "There, away with you into the nursery, both of you. I know Polly Whiting is lonesome without you." Off went the children, Flyaway "with a heart for any fate," but Dotty still oppressed by the shadow of the ten-cent piece. "If I don't give it to Prudy, will I be dishonest? Will I be as bad as Jennie Vance?"
Toad, only so tiny that one could have sat comfortably on a ten-cent piece and still had plenty of room. Peter's big eyes grew round with surprise as he stared. Where had they all come from so suddenly? A minute before he hadn't seen a single one, and now he could hardly move without stepping on one.
Then dry all the vegetables with a clean towel, mix them all together, roll them thoroughly in flour, dip in egg, and fry in hot lard, dropping them in carelessly. Serve them in a hot dish with a napkin under them. Take a slice of pumpkin, remove the rind and the seeds, cut into square pieces, and then slice these into slivers about the thickness of a ten-cent piece.
To be absolutely honest, I had to come very close to the level of the moving picture show, and the ten-cent vaudeville, at first. "The fourth night I eliminated all but a few gestures, and told the stories sitting down. I also used less colloquial English; and from then on, until the end, when I told the stories from Van Dyke in his own words, there was a steady growth in literary style.
Spelled with an "e" it belongs to Gallic witchery and diaphanous dreams; with an "a" it drapes lamentation and woe. That evening they went to the Cafe Andre. And, as people would confide to you in a whisper that Andre's was the only truly Bohemian restaurant in town, it may be well to follow them. Andre began his professional career as a waiter in a Bowery ten-cent eating-house.
"A living, I suppose. Some of the high-class weeklies feel the competition of the ten-cent monthlies. But 'Every Other Week' is about the best thing we've got in the literary way, and I guess it's holding its own." "Have to, to let the editor come to Carlsbad," Stoller said, with a return to the sourness of his earlier mood.
