She was not their most brilliant player by any means, but she was steady and used her brains in the game better than most. Althea Somerset was put in as a substitute, but it was disconcerting to lose a tried warrior before the fight began. Nancy was a timekeeper, and on the day of the match Judith took her stand beside her with the lemons for the refreshment of the teams.
And, as the officious patrons of the "pub" strapped on the gloves and made the usual preparation of wet sponge and towel, it seemed in all respects an even match in all respects but one; Jim was twenty-odd, Mike was forty-odd. The small man with a squeaky voice installed himself as timekeeper. He struck the gong, and the boxers met. Jim always smiled and bared his teeth while boxing.
Her colour had faded; her eyes were bright. Like all women she feared the hour of battle, while she did not flinch from it. So pretty she looked, standing there, that Osborn sprang up after her. He was just man not husband, not master, nor judge, nor timekeeper of the home; but man, admiring and passionate. "I say, hang the accounts! Come to me!" There was again that about her which checked him.
When the whistle blew at seven next morning, some forty peons, who had straggled one by one in the dawn to huddle up together in their red sarapes among the rocks of the drab hillside, marched past the timekeeper, turning over their blankets at a check counter, and with their lunches, of the size of the round tortilla at the bottom and four to six inches high, in their handkerchiefs, climbed into the six-foot, iron ore-bucket until it was completely roofed with their immense straw hats.
In an unexpected manner, again, these reefs afford us not only an indication of change of place, but they afford an indication of lapse of time. The reef is a timekeeper of a very curious character; and you can easily understand why.
Warren is a timekeeper at Morton and Waylight's, in Tottenham Court Road. He has to be out of the house before seven. Well, this morning he had not gone ten paces down the road when two men came up behind him, threw a coat over his head, and bundled him into a cab that was beside the curb. They drove him an hour, and then opened the door and shot him out.
The clock surmounting the building in its central tower is said to be the standard timekeeper of London for the West End. A carriage-way leads through the centre of the building to St. James Park, a route which only the royal family are permitted to use.
"You ought to make your timekeeper give you one of those brass checks there and pay you eighteen cents an hour for that work. That's what I'd do." Peterson laughed. It took more than a hint to reach him. "I have to do it. Those laborers are no good. Honest, I can lift as much as any three men on the job." "That's all right if those same three don't stop to swap lies while you're lifting."
It always does this, and, of course, I cannot remedy the matter because the glass is hermetically sealed." "Well, I don't want it as a timekeeper, so we will not allow that defect to interfere with the sale. How much do you ask for it?" The dealer named his price, and Eastford paid the amount. "I shall send it to you this afternoon." "Thank you," said the customer, taking his leave.
"That is enough of jawing for the afternoon, Coon. Let us have three rounds to finish up with. Take the time, young 'un." Jack, with immense pride, took out his watch and prepared to act as timekeeper. "Better take it easily first two, sir, and put in all you know for the last. A little hurricane in the third round is my advice."
