When Jones is in work she buys extra coal, but when the winter comes she draws upon her reserves at the coal merchant's. But the boots are more difficult. To his credit let it be said that Jones mends the family's boots. That is, he can "sole and heel," though he cannot put on a patch or mend the uppers. But with everlasting thought for the future, Mrs. Jones makes certain of boots for the family.
She sewed uppers and had a couple of apprentices to help her, and she was really doing pretty well. She did not associate with any one, not even with her relatives, for she never left her children. Druk-Valde had to go to the wall every evening; the most insignificant detail was of the greatest importance.
"Yes," replied the girl, "and for the uppers you ought to take the cheek of the man who said it." Not Just the Right Place A bashful young couple, who were evidently very much in love, entered a crowded street car. "Do you suppose we can squeeze in here?" he asked, looking doubtfully at her blushing face.
There were the homes of Mis' Mayor Uppers, Mis' Holcomb-that-was-Mame-Bliss, and the Liberty sisters, all substantial dignified houses, typical of the simple prosperity of the countryside. "The only trouble," she added simply, "is that in Friendship I don't know of a soul rill sick, nor a soul what you might call poor." At this I laughed, unwillingly enough. Dear Calliope!
The door looked cold and as if it had nothing to do with him; and there was no door-plate. He went slowly down the stairs and asked in the greengrocer's cellar below whether a woman who sewed uppers did not live on the second floor to the left. She had been forsaken by her husband and had two children three, he corrected himself humbly; What had become of them?
Those shoes were clumsy, to be sure; but they kept our feet dry and warm, and we felt thankful for them and sorry for some neighbors' children, who had to go barefooted even in quite cold weather. Carrie once had a pair of nice white shoes "for best," I remember, that one of her brothers made for her, with buckskin uppers and light tan-colored soles.
His little black eyes were shrewd and full of fire. Although he was sixty years old, there was little grey in the thick black hair that hung almost to his shoulders. He wore a cheap print shirt and a faded pair of overalls, belted at the waist with a strip of red wool. His foot-gear consisted of the uppers of a pair of old shoes with soles of rawhide sewed on moccasin-fashion.
My son, though a capable officer, I assure you, has probably not participated in a fraction of the fracases you have to your credit. However, there is something to be said for the training available to we Uppers in the academies. For instance, captain, have you ever commanded a body of lads larger than, well, a company?"
"Something like that, getting on for a year. How is she?" "Oh, first rate. Will you have a drink?" "No, thanks, old man. Where are you going to?" "I'm dining with my sister. Going to some theatre, I believe." "Ah, I saw your sister the other day, about a couple of weeks ago." He seated himself, hitching his trousers above the uppers of his boots. "Prince's, I think it was.
There appeared to be hundreds thousands of them. They circled around the boys, becoming bolder every moment. They nipped at the rubber boots and left the marks of their teeth on the tough uppers. "Now, boys," Tommy yelled, as they drew their automatics and leveled them over the wall, "shoot to kill! This is no Sunday School picnic!
