Here's another cup of tea, and I brought you up the evening paper; thought you might want to look it over. And if you'll give me your trunk checks, I'll send the expressman after your baggage." "My trunk checks what did I do with them? Why, of course, I gave them to my maid." A sudden instinct that she did not wish to see her maid, or be followed by her baggage, made her stop short in her speech.
Again Miss Nellie recognized the perfume with which the gallant expressman was wont to make redolent her little parlor, but again she avowed no knowledge of its possessor. "Well," returned Low, with some disappointment, "such a man has been here. Be on your guard. Let us go at once." She required no urging to hasten her steps, but hurried breathlessly at his side.
"Oh, I don't think it would be possible for them to arrive here before we have to start, even if Dicky gives them to an expressman right away, as I am sure he will do." It seemed queer to be defending Dicky to his mother, but I felt a curious little thrill of resentment that she should criticise him.
I have expected an expressman after it every day, but none has come. That is another reason why I have felt anxious." "I do not wonder," I exclaimed.

He was always sending her rare things, and pitying her because she was poor and longing to send her money, though dad wouldn't have that."

From up the hill came a troop of boys most of them belonging in the upper class of the school. Marty was one of them, and in their midst walked the young schoolmaster! "I snum!" ejaculated Walky.

There was a cigar and news stand two blocks down, the landlady said, where an expressman had his headquarters. There was a blue sign out in front: "Schulz Express"; Rose couldn't miss it. The landlady went away to write out a receipt. Rose closed the door after her and locked it. It was a purely symbolistic act.
I'll help you and we can book them afterward." The expressman ran for a truck and they hastily weighed and piled on boxes.
