Schuyler was out, and was not expected home until late. I attended her, and after she was in bed, I went to bed myself." "I'm told you do not live here," commented Stone, though in a disinterested way, and at the same time making notes of some other matters in his notebook. "I have a room around on Third Avenue," replied Tibbetts. "I like a little home of my own, and when Mrs.
For to three and twenty English and American publishers, whose names he culled from a handy work of reference, he advanced a business-like offer to prepare for the press a volume "of 316 pages printed in type about the same size as enclosed," and to be entitled: MY WILD LIFE AMONGST CANNIBALS. AUGUSTUS TIBBETTS, Lieutenant of Houssas.
"Thank you, sir, I never have, and don't care to begin." Tibbetts began screwing on the cap, looking his man over as he did so. "I believe you're right," said he, "and if I were to begin over again I'd do the same. But we were all taught the other way fifteen years ago." He paused as though he half wanted to say more, but finally turned away and disappeared in his section.
Had he not done so he would never have allowed himself to be dragged into business Tibbetts & Payne, Manufacturers' Agents. Two years of it. Two years from the day on a Western irrigation dam when Payne had installed the cement machine that Tibbetts was selling. Two years to Payne of prison. And now his moment of decision had arrived. Roger Payne was out of place. He did not fit the furniture.
"I'm going to ask you something that may sound very strange," she said, and her color heightened and the lids swept quickly over her eyes, "yet I believe you won't misunderstand. I want you to do something or rather not to do something for me. You were going to tell Captain Tibbetts about that affair of last night, that other soldier's coming in here, were you not?" "I certainly was."
Crocker, besides his own vessel, the Clifton, had the Sachem, Lieutenant Amos Johnson; the Arizona, Acting-Master Howard Tibbetts; the Granite City, Acting-Master C. W. Lamson. Crocker's belief was that the defences ashore and afloat consisted of two 32-pounder guns in battery, and two small steamboats converted into rams.
"I mean would it wash off if a lot of water were applied to it?" "No, I should not imagine it would," said Hamilton, "what makes you ask?" "Oh, nothing!" said Bones carelessly and whistled, looking up to the stars that were peeping from the sky; and the inside of Lieutenant Tibbetts was one large expansive grin.
To a quart of such dough he asserted that a tablespoonful of powdered eggshells should be added, also a dust of Cayenne pepper. And if a really perfect food for fattening poultry were desired, Tibbetts declared that a tablespoonful of new rum should be added to the water with which the quart of dough was mixed. A wonderful turkey food, no doubt!
Hamilton sang, "Who wouldn't be a soldier in the Army?" and by request in his shaky falsetto baritone, "My heart is in the Highlands"; and Lieut. Tibbetts gave a lifelike imitation of Frank Tinney, which convulsed, not alone his superior officer, but some two-and-forty men of the Houssas who were unauthorized spectators through various windows and door cracks and ventilating gauzes.
"And you are right, Rhoda," said Ruth, "if the girl is guilty. I hope she will be found, for I'm sure the truth could then be learned, whether she is guilty or not." "Will you come, now, Mrs. Schuyler," said Tibbetts, from the doorway. "The flowers have arrived." Ruth, beckoning to Winnie, rose, and the two left the room. "Perfectly idiotic," said Sarah, "the way she orders flowers!
