"Here, send 'er over here, give you leave. I'm some little catcher myself." It bounded to her light as air, and she caught it deftly, tossed it ceilingward until it bounced against an incandescent bulb, tossed it again, caught it lightly, nor troubled to heed the merry shouts for its return. From across the room some one threw her a great trailing ribbon of gilt paper.
Foreman, and you saw a sign 'A.S. Smith, M.D., Children's Specialist, you would want to be sure you were not going to hire a plumber, eh? You see! That's all there is to this case!" "All there is to this case!" murmured Mr. Tutt audibly, raising his eyes ceilingward. "Step up here, Mr. Brown." Mr.
Swiveller, we will proceed to drown it in the rosy. Drown it in the rosy, gentlemen." And so saying, Mr. Snark gravely tilted the black bottle ceilingward. The following evening, as the shadows were lengthening, Garrison and the eminent lawyer pulled into the neat little station of Cottonton. The good-by to Gotham had been said. It had not been difficult for Garrison to say good-by.
"Why, you've made me the happiest woman in the world a partner!" Again, the rounded arms were wreathed about his neck; her face was hidden on his shoulder. Hamilton's eyes were turned ceilingward, as if seeking some illumination from beyond. He listened, stupid, bemused, to that word echoing wildly through his brain: "Partner!" He understood fully at last, and with understanding came utter dismay.
There was no getting away from the challenge of those eyes that watched her so steadily not even by following his suggestion and gazing persistently ceilingward. Craig glanced at Father Davy, to find that his soft blue eyes showed no sign of shock, and that his face was perfectly placid as he looked and listened.
"May I be pardoned for interrupting?" sneered Chippingham, springing to his feet. "I think the court should be informed at the outset that this man, Barrows, is a notorious ex-convict." Judge Pollak raised his eyebrows. "This is an outrage!" thundered Mr. Tutt, his form rising ceilingward.
Sheldam talked in hesitating French to the Marquis de Potachre, an old fellow of venerable and burlesque appearance. His fierce little white mustaches were curled ceilingward, but his voice was as timid as honey. He flourished his wizened hand toward Miss Adams. "Charming! Delightful! She has something English in her insouciant pose, and is wholly American in her cerebral quality.
I've been wondering, every time out, if I could do a thing, and now I'm going to find out." Jackknifing double, she put both forearms flat on the carpet and lifted both legs into the vertical. Then, silver slippers pointing motionlessly ceilingward, she got up onto her hands and walked twice around a vacant chair.
While the two men were talking and waiting for Argyl to come in, Tommy Garton, his new legs discarded for the day, was lying on his cot in the back room of the general office, blowing idle puffs of cigarette-smoke at the lamp-chimney, watching the smoke as the hot draft from the flame sent it ceilingward.
Of course, the occupants of the space ship went slipping and sliding back, even as they had fallen ceilingward before, but they were prepared for it, and no one was hurt. From the galley came a chorus of cries, as pots and pans once more scattered about Washington, but there was no more soup to spill.
