Approaching him along the walk from the stable were the riders two young women, laughing and talking as they approached the house, and suddenly Jimmy, in his neat white suit, carrying his little tray of milk-bottles, recognized them, and instantly there flashed into recollection the address that Harriet Holden had given him that night at Feinheimer's.
Mac, his jovial face rather startled, was making for the stairs; but I sternly brought him back and presented him. Whereon, being utterly confounded, he made the tactful remark that he would have to go and put out the milk-bottles: it was almost morning! She had been waiting since ten o'clock, she said. A taxicab, with her maid, was at the door.
You saw hundreds of Dutch soldiers join in the procession, lift babies and bundles, and walk with them for miles.
