He stopped to chuckle over a lithograph of the Parthenon at the window of a Greek bootblack's stand. Stars steamer temples, all these were his. He owned them now. He was free. Lee Theresa sat waiting for him in the basement livingroom till ten-thirty while he was flirting with trainboards at the Grand Central. Then she went to bed, and, though he knew it not, that prince of wealthy suitors, Mr.
In that terrifying way small towns have, it was known that of all codfish aristocracy the Widow Weld was the piscatorial pinnacle. When Chug Scaritt first met the Weld girl she was standing out in the middle of the country road at ten-thirty P.M., her arms outstretched and the blood running down one cheek.
He would telegraph Carlotta his gout was worse, that he had gone to the country to take a cure. He would be home Saturday. Immensely heartened he dispatched the wire. By this time it was ten-thirty and the dew on the grass was all dry, the morning glories shut tight and the robins vanished.
As she stood in the gathering gloom and peered into the water below, Jinnie could hear the child lisping his small petitions. At that moment a new faith came for herself. Lafe's angels would save her, too, from Jordan Morse's revenge. At ten-thirty the next morning Morse came. With trepidation Jinnie heard him open the door.

Mrs. Burke was not in a very good humor when, arriving at the rectory, she met Tom Snyder the plumber, at ten-thirty, walking briskly away from his job.
But at ten-thirty, that is to say, three hours after the unreasonable altercation in the vestibule, Florent rang at the door of Julien's apartments. The latter was at home, busy upon the last correction of the proofs of 'Poussiere d'Idees'. His visitor's confidence upset him to such a degree that his hands trembled as he arranged his scattered papers.
He heard Brockett's familar step and suddenly, intent and listening, he faced the door; but the deputy came slowly down the corridor and as he entered the cell, paused, and shook his head. "No word yet, John," he said regretfully. "Is the train in?" asked North. "Yes, Conklin went down to meet it. He's just back; I guess they'll come on the ten-thirty."
That will be nine hours -an hour and a half of guard duty for each fellow. Suppose we draw lots to decide the order in which we shall take our tricks of guard duty." This was done. To Prescott fell the second tour, from ten-thirty until midnight. Reade had the first tour. At a few minutes after nine all was quiet in the camp.
