"Well, I'd better go and talk to your husband. Mrs. Anderson will look after you." And Elizabeth held the baby, while the woman fed languidly too tired and spiritless indeed to eat. When she could be coaxed no further, Elizabeth took her and the babe upstairs. "I never saw anything like this in these parts!" cried the girl, looking round her at the white-tiled bathroom.
He remembered a white-tiled butcher shop on upper Broadway, and licked his chops at the recollection. At midday, a hungry tramp, he approached a farmhouse. A big shepherd dog met him. When the fierce mix-up was over, and the shepherd had retreated, Dan carried in his shoulder a long, deep cut. Impelled by the gnawing in his stomach, he limped toward a log cabin.
"Rufus," said his wife solemnly, following him into the white-tiled bathroom, "I want you should look at these bath-towels. I never in my life set eyes on anything like them. They must have cost I don't know what they cost I didn't know there were such bath-towels made!" "I don't want to wrap myself in a blanket," asserted her husband.
In the white-tiled Roman bathroom, the muddy circles suddenly out and angry beneath her eyes, her mother was standing before one of the full-length mirrors snickering. There was a fresh little grave on the inside of her right forearm. Sometimes in the weeks that followed a sense of the miracle of what was happening would clutch at Alma's throat like a fear. Louis did not know.
Thither, too, came young apprentices of the professions, working at wages to shame a laborer, who had learned how much more one got for his money at Louis's than at the white-tiled American places further down town. It stood for ten years, this Hotel Marseillaise, the hope of the impecunious.
In the dressing-room Roger discovered Esther, occupied in arranging flowers. "Here's what you are looking for," she told him. "It's been moved to make room for my diet-kitchen." She indicated a small safe almost hidden by a white-tiled refrigerator and an enamelled stand which bore a spirit-lamp and an array of shining saucepans. Roger knelt on the floor and examined the knobs and dial.
Wind puffed the sheets up into her face, and finally she crossed to a white-tiled lunch room, ordering coffee and rolls more for the temporary shelter than for appetite. Scanning column after column, occasionally she poked a toothpick through the page, and once tore out a little segment, dropping it into her hand bag.
As he closed the window with a shiver and looked about him, glancing into the white-tiled surgery beyond; he recognized the fact that, though he might be in the workshop of a village practitioner, it was a workshop which did not lack the tools of the workman thoroughly abreast of the times. Burns came back, his face bright with pleasure in the unexpected appearance of his friend.
The dull ruby tiles that extended from the foot of the walls to the verge of a circular clump of tall iris plants, surrounding in turn a sunken basin of white marble filled with water, were obviously of the best quality. He admired extremely the purple leather curtains drawn along one entire side, framing a huge white-tiled stove.
Beautiful sanitary white-tiled tambos, where pure milk and butter are sold, have taken his place. The old has been transformed and PROGRESS is written everywhere. South America, of all lands, has been most torn asunder by war. Revolutions may be numbered by hundreds, and the slaughter has been incredible.
