"They can't wait six months over there, Emma. They need him now." "Oh, come, T.A.! One man " "Multiplied by a million. Look at Fisk. Just such another case. Look at " The shrill summons of the telephone cut him short. Emma's head came up alertly. She glanced at her wrist-watch and gave a little exclamation of horror. "That's for me! I'm half an hour late! The first time, too."
"Yes that's right," Hanlon breathed, and on his face was a distinct look of admiration for the boy's perception. "You wore a faintly-ticking wrist-watch the same one you're wearing now and the odor of gasoline about you was from your motor-cycle. You, then, were the 'vision' Miss Ames has so often described, and you glided silently away from her bedside, and out at the window by which you entered.
I've never worn a wrist-watch, or parted my name in the middle, but I will confess to 'Follansbee. My only justification is that my old dad though otherwise he was perfectly sane, and packed an awful wallop when it came to trimming the City Fellers at checkers named me after the family doc, old Dr. Ambrose Follansbee. I apologize, boys.
I would listen for twenty minutes while Wheeler would be on the QUI VIVE for German patrols. We each wore a wrist-watch, and believe me, neither one of us did over twenty minutes. The rain soaked us to the skin and bur ears were full of mud. Every few minutes a bullet would crack overhead or a machine gun would traverse back and forth. Then all firing suddenly ceased.
"How stupid of me " she began, glancing at her plain little wrist-watch. Her face fell as she looked unbelievingly at the hands pointing to three o'clock. "It must be run down," she said, frowning and holding the watch to her ear. "No, it's going. It must be slow." A glance at the big clock in the tower opposite her bedroom window convinced her that her watch was to be taken seriously.
They sat up and groaned and yawned and stretched out their arms, or turned round impatiently and went to sleep again. One of them looked at his wrist-watch: "Gorblimy, 'tain't 'alf-past four what the bleed'n' 'ell d'they want to wake us this time of a mornin' for? Some bloody fatigue, I bet yer!" "Wha', ain't it 'ah'-past five?" "'Alf-past five be blowed! 'Tain't 'alf-past four!"
He glanced at his wrist-watch. "Only four minutes, however. I just couldn't get away sooner." From nine till ten Forrest gave himself up to his secretary, achieving a correspondence that included learned societies and every sort of breeding and agricultural organization and that would have compelled the average petty business man, unaided, to sit up till midnight to accomplish.
This is my hour of night prayer, and I must bow to Mecca. Whither, from here, lieth The City?" The Master raised a hand, glanced at a compass set like a wrist-watch, peered a moment at one of the charts, and then nodded toward the door that led into the pilot-house. Without delay, Rrisa faced that door and prostrated himself. The ancient cry: "La Illaha illa Allah!
The Commander, clad simply in his wrist-watch and uniform cap, was standing on the balsa raft, with scores of men hanging to its support. "Get away from the ship!" he was bawling at the full strength of his lungs. "Get clear before she goes !" The stern of the cruiser rose high in the air, and she dived with sickening suddenness into the grey vortex of waters.
His eye comes gently to rest upon a small but hospitable-looking estaminet. Lieutenant Cockerell examines his wrist-watch. "Half-past ten!" he announces. "Quartermaster-Sergeant!" "Sirr!" The Quartermaster-Sergeant unglues his longing gaze from the estaminet and comes woodenly to attention. "I am going to see the Town Major about a billeting area.
