Annie looked, and was, dirty with exertion; and even the steam that wreathed upwards from the washbowl added a sense of uncleanness to the air. Ishmael was too young to be depressed by dirt, which he rather liked, but the greyness of it all settled on him like a blight. He had been right about one thing there was a distinct change in Annie's manner.
Got any idea what railroad you will be president of?" and the old man wiped his razor, stropped it on the palm of his hand, put it in a case, and went to a washbowl to wash the soap off his face.
By its irritation of the nerves, the secretory and excretory processes of the system are stimulated into abnormal action, and an extra quantity of fluid is poured into the colon to dissolve the accumulated mass; which is about as scientific a proceeding as pouring a quart of water into a washbowl on the upper floor of a dwelling to clear away an obstruction in the main drain of the building.
"Was Mr. Darrin's washbowl in its present untidy state?" "I don't know, sir. I didn't notice that." "Very good, Mr. Henkel. Go to your room and remain there in close arrest. Do not leave your room, except by orders or proper permission, sir." "Very good, sir," replied Henkel, saluting. When the sections came marching back from math. Lieutenant Nettleson stood outside the door of his office. "Mr.
"I guess I'll keep awake just as well if I—shut up—my eyes. Don't you—" That was the end of Gypsy's sentence, and Joy never asked for the rest of it.

"Oh, just dipping my head into the water. They say it helps keep people awake."
It was here in the back room that he had carried his heavy heart, as far away from the rest of the house as possible! The bed was rumpled as if some one had thrown himself heavily down without stopping to undress. There was water in the washbowl and a towel lay carelessly across a chair as if it had been hastily used. There was a newspaper on the bureau and a handkerchief on the floor.
And it was the next day daylight at last! To-day she must get back to camp if she had to walk! Oh, she must get back! Surely something would happen to assist her! In a very dark corner of the station Tavia found a broken washbowl, and from the water pail she carried two cups full of water, with which to refresh her worn and haggard face.
"Aye, aye, sir." Lieutenant Nettleson made a further inspection of the room. "And Mr. Darrin has neglected to empty his washbowl. He has also thrown the towel on the floor. Put Mr. Darrin on the report for that as well." "Aye, aye, sir." "That is all here, Mr Hawkins." "Very good, sir." O.C. and cadet officer of the day turned to leave the room.
Indeed, new plumbing had been put in, and extra bathrooms installed. As old Miss Emily Benton lived there alone, with only an old couple to look after her, it looked odd to see three bathrooms, two of them new, on the second floor. Big tubs and showers, although little old Miss Emily could have bathed in the washbowl and have had room to spare.
The washbowl, with two long singing-books across it, she discovered to her horror, was serving as a prison for a small green snake. The Bible and the remaining hymn books, topped by "Baxter's Saints' Rest," lay in a suspicious-looking pile on the floor. Under these Miss Wetherby did not look. After her experience with the snake and the washbowl, her nerves were not strong enough.
