Infuriated, Adam brought his fist down upon the arm of his wheel-chair and, coughing, propelled himself up and down the room. Kenny walked away to the window, sick with remorse. For the old man had coughed himself into gasping quiet. What could he do? A wayward Irish tune, ludicrously fitting, danced into his head and made him smile.
Therefore if one kept along the edges of the upper part of the river, there was no danger and the canoe afforded a delightful recreation. Both the elder Fernalds and Mr. Hazen rowed well and Ted pulled an exceptionally strong oar for a boy of his years. Hence they took turns at propelling the boat and soon Laurie was as much at home on the pillows in the stern as he was in his wheel-chair.
Meanwhile, Professor Calkins, who does not live at the college but had happened to spend the night in the Psychology office on the fifth floor, had been one of the earliest to awake, had wakened other members of the faculty and helped Professor Case and her wheel-chair to the first floor, and also had sent a man with an ax to break in Professor Irvine's door, which was locked.
I was too deeply interested in leading Miserrimus Dexter to pursue the subject on which he had touched to be willing to leave him at that moment. I pretended not to have heard Mrs. Macallan. I laid my hand, as if by accident, on the wheel-chair to keep him near me. "You showed me how highly you esteemed that poor lady in your evidence at the Trial," I said. "I believe, Mr.
He went at last with a sigh, oppressed by the creak of the banister where Adam had sat, sinister and silent in his wheel-chair, listening to the music. Memories were crowding thick upon him. Again and again he wished that he had never opened the door of the sitting room that other night and caught the old man off his guard. It had left a specter in his mind, horrible in its pathos and intense.
Pete was only too glad of a respite from the monotony of back-rest and pillow, bare walls, and the essential but soul-wearying regularity of professional attention. Not until Doris had helped him into the wheel-chair did he realize how weak he was.
"It's odd, isn't it, how a body without a cent to her name can dispose of a few score millions in less minutes?" "If you please, sir." A motionless, impersonal figure in livery stood at a respectful distance behind the wheel-chair. Neither of them had been conscious of his presence. "Well, Parsons?" "Mr. Billy, sir, has come back, sir. He and Mr. Fitzpatrick came together.
"Is it not a jolly scene?" she added "the fountain against the green, and the flowers and the sunshine everywhere, and all those light summer gowns outdoors in January, and " She checked herself and laid her hand on his arm; "Garry, do you see that girl in the wheel-chair! the one just turning into the gardens!" He had already seen her.
After an operation which I tell about in another chapter I was able to sit up and propel myself in a wheel-chair, and soon was having races with the champion chair-speeders of the other wards. There was a long inclined plane that was the cause of many accidents, for there was a sharp turn at the bottom and our chariots would get out of control.
"He was plumb sick, too, for they carried him out in a wheel-chair, with a sheet over his face." "Who carried him out?" "Why, the men from the hospital who were sent for." "What floor?" demanded Ned, a thought he did not care to put into words coming to his mind. "Third floor," replied Peter. "I stood out there, looking around, when the chair was brought down on the freight elevator."
