Quickly Kennedy pulled from his pocket the gauze arrangements he had had in his hand that morning just as Miss Euston's knock had interrupted his conversation with me. Hurriedly he shoved one into Miss Euston's hands, then to Lane, then to me, and to the guard who was with us. "Wet them!" he cried, as he fitted his own over his nose and staggered to a water-cooler. "What is it?"
He gulped down something in his throat and walked over to the water-cooler, "And enough for us," whispered Indiman. "Let us go." "It's the way of the world," I philosophized as we gained the street. "One man up and another down. He is young; he will have his chance again." "It is Harding's day," said Indiman.
The commons were not so wide as he had thought them, the hills not so high, the hollows not so deep even the blue horizon had drawn a closer circle. A man on his way to the water-cooler stopped abruptly at his side. "Well, I declar, if 'tain't the governor!" Nicholas looked up, and recognising Jerry Pollard, shook his outstretched hand. "When did you leave Kingsborough?" he inquired.
At twelve o'clock a procession of cloaks issued single file from the women's dressing-room and, each one pairing with a coated beau like dancers meeting in a cotillion figure, drifted through the door with sleepy happy laughter through the door into the dark where autos backed and snorted and parties called to one another and gathered around the water-cooler.
The moving of the water-cooler may mean that she must now pass the sentinel office-manager; that therefore she no longer dares break the incredible monotony by expeditions to get glasses of water. As a consequence she gives up the office and marries unhappily. A vast, competent, largely useless cosmos of offices.
He sprang to the big water-cooler, cast away the top, seized the tank like a bucket, and dashed a full stream of ice-water into Morris Blood's face. "Great God, what's the matter? Who is this? Glover? What? Give me a towel, somebody." The spell was broken. Glover explained, O'Neill ran back to the key, and Blood in another moment bent dripping over the nervous despatcher.
It consisted of two rooms and an insignificant entry-hall, in which last was a water-cooler, a postal scale, a pile of newspapers, and a morose office-boy who drew copies of Gibson girls all day long on stray pieces of wrapping-paper, and confided to Una, at least once a week, that he wanted to take a correspondence course in window-dressing. In one of the two rooms Mr.
He felt that a long detention at Adairsville would be dangerous, perhaps fatal. Opening the door, the boy entered the station. It comprised a cheerless waiting-room, with a stove, bench and water-cooler for furniture, and a little ticket office at one end.
One sitting in the second car would have been unable to guess from the bearing or manner of the two officials that anything had gone wrong. The interested spectators of the little drama included two men near the water-cooler who were perfectly sober. One of them was perhaps a little past the best of life, but still straight and vigorous.
And dashing upstairs to the drawing-room, he helped himself to a few of his uncle's curiosities: a pair of Turkish babooshes, a Smyrna fan, a water-cooler, a musket guaranteed to have been seized from an Ephesian bandit, and a pocketful of curious but incomplete sea-shells.
