Crewe thought it a little strange that, whenever he entered a room in the Pelican, a silence should succeed the buzz of talk which he had heard through the closed transom; but he very naturally attributed this to the constraint which ordinary men would be likely to feel in his presence.
"Good-by, bishop," she said, "and thank you for the sermon; I guess I needed it I am getting old." She climbed the stairs slowly, and, hesitating a moment outside her own room, where the sound of laughing voices through the transom betokened that the clan was gathered, she kept on to the door of a single at the end of the corridor. "Come in," a voice called in response to her knock.
Round two o'clock on the afternoon of the third day Jane, for the moment alone in her chair, heard the phonograph the sextet from Lucia. She left her chair, looked down through the open transom and discovered Dennison cranking the machine. He must have seen her shadow, for he glanced up quickly. He crooked a finger which said, "Come on down!" She made a negative sign and withdrew her head.
The transom over the door to the "Holy of Holies" was open, and I heard the well-known voice of 'Lige "the Lion". "Now, there's another matter, Mr. Doe, that perhaps you'll say is none of my business, but 'tain't right, and I'm going to speak about it. You're hanging around the yards and standing in the shadows of cars and buildings half the night, watching employees.
The Judge has been awaiting you." "Has he?" inquired Stephen, with ill-concealed anxiety. The big young German patted him on the shoulder. Suddenly a voice roared from out the open transom of the private office, like a cyclone through a gap. "Mr. Richter!" "Sir!" "Who is that?" "Mr. Brice, sir." "Then why in thunder doesn't he come in?" Mr. Richter opened the private door, and in Stephen walked.
Almost before your knuckles hit the panel you heard Mr. Botcher's hearty voice shouting "Come in," in spite of the closed transom. The Honourable Jake, being a tee-totaller, had no bathroom, and none but his intimate friends ever looked in the third from the top bureau drawer.
Patricia, from her hiding place behind the door screen, could make out nothing but the dim oblong of the transom above her head and the long pale mass of the skylight. Suddenly a match flared and the twinkling tip of light grew at a candle end and she saw a ghostly figure, its white hand busy with the candle wick and its hollow, black eyes fixed on the tiny growing flame.
Garry, I'm going to lock the studio door and throw the key over the transom to you. Don't let me out, no matter what I say." Obediently Garry at four ignored a violent thump upon the wall. Then the telephone rang and Kenny said with some annoyance that the work was done. When on the following day he found that Mr.
Peter picked up his splendid guitar and, sprawling upon the transom, gave himself up to soft humming and, presently, to the work of composition. Soon, after some little painstaking effort, he produced the following, to be rendered to the tune of "Yankee Doodle": The tale of crime is at an end, For little Laurence Va-arney Declines to swipe his loidy friend Upon the Cypria-a-ani!
Blount laid the second cigar aside and crossed the room to readjust a half-opened ventilating transom. Mr. McVickar had not defined the duties of the new counselship very clearly, but there had been a strong inference running through the private-car conference to the effect that the headship of the local legal department would carry with it some political responsibilities.
