Remove that typewriting machine from here, and arrange your room according to your desire.... And I say, Miss Warburton." "Yes, Mr. Prohack," eagerly responded the secretary, pausing at the door. "Yesterday I gave you a brief outline of your duties. But I omitted one exceedingly important item almost as important as not falling in love with my son. You will have to keep on good terms with Machin.
If she intends to be a sister of the House of Martha, she must do as the other sisters do. She cannot always expect to be an exception. At present she is learning typewriting." I gave a great start. "Typewriting!" I exclaimed. "Yes," said my grandmother. "Is it not odd that she should have taken up that? She has a machine, and practices steadily on it.
Helplessly he added: "I don't know how I'm going to tackle them. I've an awful headache." "Why not get a stenographer?" "A stenographer? That's not a bad idea. Where can I get one?" "Why, downstairs. There are two attached to the hotel. They attend to the telephone switchboard and do typewriting as well. One is a girl with red hair and a squint; the other is dark and rather pretty "
Into the offices of Lockyer, Sanders, Benchley, Lockyer & Norman, corporation lawyers, there drifted on a December afternoon a girl in search of work at stenography and typewriting.

"That training wasn't wasted," defended Roberta. "I'm able to make friends with my working girls lots better on account of the stenography and typewriting I know. And I may need that resource yet.

Now she was at once the responsible head of the house and a seer of the future. Most of the girls in the school learned nothing but shorthand and typewriting, but to these Una added English grammar, spelling, and letter-composition. After breakfast at the little flat which she had taken with her mother, she fled to the school.
Keating, in turn, wrote out what they had said to him and transmitted it, without color or bias, to the clearinghouse of the Consolidated Press.

The personal equation appeared no more offensively than it does in a page of typewriting in his work.
It was Mrs. Lossing that first lent me books; and Harry Lossing, who is head of the firm now, got Ebenezer into the works. Ebenezer is shipping-clerk with a good salary and stock in the concern; and Ralph is there, learning the trade. I went to the business-college and learned book-keeping, and afterward I learned typewriting and shorthand. I have been working for the firm for fourteen years.
If you will let your driver take Nicolas up to the house, Nicolas can bring the typewriting machine from your office, and some stationery with it.
