Wargle, faithlessly consorted with Foddle, the cat's-meat man, when the steward was away, and, when he was home, cooked for him lights and liver that unquestionably were purchased from the same cat's-meat man. He now leered with a fond and watery gaze upon Mr. Wrenn's scholarly pursuits, and announced in a whisper: "They've sighted land." "Land?" "Oh aye." Mr.
The hall was dark. It was gratefully quiet. She snatched up Mr. Wrenn's hand and held it to her breast. "Oh, Mouse dear, I'm so bored! I want some real things. They talk and talk in there, and every night they settle all the fate of all the nations, always the same way. I don't suppose there's ever been a bunch that knew more things incorrectly. You hated them, didn't you?"
There was an undertone of pleading in his voice which made Nelly glance at him and even become kind. With quiet insistence she dragged Istra into a discussion of rue de la Paix fashions which nearly united the shattered table and won Mr. Wrenn's palpitating thankfulness. After dessert Istra slowly drew a plain gold cigarette-case from a brocade bag of silvery gray.
"Wouldn't wonder if it would," agreed Tom, kicking the December slush off his feet and patting Mr. Wrenn's back. "Well, look here," said Mr.
Wrenn's really being there, at his sitting in cramped stoop on the side of a berth in a dark filthy place that went up and down like a freight elevator, subject to the orders of persons whom he did not in the least like. Through the damp gray sea-air he staggered hungrily along the gangway to the hatch amidships, and trembled down the iron ladder to McGarver's crew 'tween-decks.
Wrenn's voice quavered, with an attempt at dignity: "I'm awful sorry she butted in while you fellows was here. I don't know how to apologize" "Forget it, old man," rolled out Tom's bass. "Come on, let's go up to Mrs. Arty's." "But, gee! it's nearly a quarter to eleven." "That's all right. We can get up there by a little after, and Mrs. Arty stays up playing cards till after twelve." "Golly!" Mr.
The cashier handed him two boxes, with an embarrassed simper, and the fat man clapped Mr. Wrenn's shoulder joyously. "My turn!" shouted a young man in a fuzzy green hat and a bright-brown suit, who had been watching with the sudden friendship which unites a crowd brought together by an accident. Mr. Wrenn was glowing. "No, it ain't it's mine," he achieved. "I invented this game."
Wrenn's heart was a little garden, and his eyes were moist, and he peeped tenderly at Nelly as he saw the holly and ivy and the frosted Christmas mottoes, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men," and the rest, that brightened the spaces between windows.
I'm gettin' 'em gettin' 'em." He rarely thought of Istra till he was out on the street again, proud of having worked so late that his eyes ached. In fact, his chief troubles these days came when Mr. Guilfogle wouldn't "let him put through an idea." Their first battle was over Mr. Wrenn's signing the letters personally; for the letters, the office manager felt, were as much Ours as was Mr.
Wrenn's eyelids fluttered. Tom brought his hand down on the table with a soft flat "plob" and declared: "Say, there might be a lot of money in it. Why, I've heard that Harry Smith writes the words for these musical comedies makes a mint of money." "Mr. Poppins ought to help you in it he's seen such a lot of plays," Mrs. Arty anxiously advised. "That's a good idea," said Mr. Wrenn.
