There were few people in the place, as the performances at the theatres had already begun.
"Falconer! Why, Susan, ain't that the name of the man who rented your house?" cried the mother. Susan felt all their eyes turned on her, and knew that she was cornered. So she said "Yes," and raised her coffee-cup to her lips, but set it down quickly, as she felt her hand trembling. "And did he rent it for a lady friend?" Tom asked, putting a significant stress on the last two words.
The old man looked up at her across his coffee-cup through his frowning brows. "No." Mrs. Mandel dropped her eyes, and the spoon shook in her hand. "Then what's the reason he don't come here any more?" demanded the girl; and her glance darted from her father to Mrs. Mandel. "Oh, it's you, is it? I'd like to know who told you to meddle in other people's business?" "I did," said Dryfoos, savagely.
Long before he had reached an end Euchre set down the coffee-cup and began to stare, and at the conclusion of the story his face lost some of its red color and beads of sweat stood out thickly on his brow.

I didn't know what had happened; I couldn't think of anything I'd done. Mama it was Alice Adams." Mrs. Palmer set her little coffee-cup upon the table beside her, calmly following her own motion with her eyes, and not seeming to realize with what serious entreaty her daughter's gaze was fixed upon her. Mildred repeated the last sentence of her revelation, and introduced a stress of insistence.
His comrade balanced his ebony coffee-cup on his knee. "Well, Henry," he said, "what d'yeh think th' chances are? D'yeh think we'll wallop 'em?" The youth considered for a moment.
