"I'm sure I shan't," Marie denied. "When I was a girl," said Mrs. Amber, smoothing her lap reminiscently, "I remember I wanted a grand trousseau. But girls lived at home more in those days; they didn't go out typing and what not, earning money for themselves. So I couldn't buy what I wanted and my dear mother had too much sense to buy it for me.
"I certainly haven't the fortune that Douglas Romilly is supposed to have got away with," he said quietly. "I have enough money for my present needs, though enough, by-the-by, to pay you for this typing," he added, counting out the money upon the table. "Any more stuff ready?" "With luck there'll be some this afternoon," he promised her.
'It is none of your business, said Stella, who, though she imagined she had told Vava, did not wish to be questioned on the subject. 'All the same, you might have told me, for I went to your little room as usual to fetch you, and there was Mr. Jones typing his own letters, retorted Vava with an injured air.
I pointed it out to Forrest. He unfolded it, glanced at it, and handed it to me without a word. It was just a half sheet of ordinary paper used for typing, and upon it was typed the following sentence "This is the fate awaiting those who venture to resist the Motor Pirate."
She came towards him with out-stretched hand and a delightful smile. "You; so soon again!" she exclaimed. "Were there so many mistakes?" Mannering's face softened. He was half ashamed of his irritation. He answered her kindly. "Scarcely any, Hester," he answered. "Your typing is always excellent." Her anxiety was only half allayed. "There is nothing else wrong?" she demanded, breathlessly.
I do typing for him sometimes, but even then I'm not really much use." "You are not an expert, perhaps?" "Oh, I can use the typewriter all right I've had heaps of practice. But when it comes to revising things, sort of making up an article out of rough notes, I'm no good. To begin with I can never understand what the things are about, and I always get quotations hopelessly mixed." "I see."
"Better look and see whether it's all right. I can't do it up properly till I've had the whole." He cut the string and looked at a few of the sheets. The typing was perfect. He began to express his approval but she interrupted him. "It's better stuff than I expected," she declared grudgingly. "I thought you were only one of these miserable amateurs. Where did you learn to write like that?"
5:38 Karen screams upon discovering the dead body at the dressing-table. Dundee laid aside the typed sheet and reached for another, the typing of which was perfect, since Penny's efficient fingers had manipulated the keys.

They were the very letters Miss Beach had been typing when he had told her to telephone to the club and get him a seat for The Girl Up-stairs, by way of passing a pleasant evening; and had laughed at her when she protested. Oh, God!
He would feebly hold up a decision for weeks, then make a whole campaign of getting his office to rush through the task in order to catch up; have a form of masculine-commuter hysterics because Una and Bessie didn't do the typing in a miraculously short time.... He never cursed; he was an ecclesiastical believer that one of the chief aims of man is to keep from saying those mystic words "hell" and "damn"; but he could make "darn it" and "why in tunket" sound as profane as a gambling-den....
