Jimmy Mason and four or five of the regular Quad loafers were talking football on the curbing. Pellams joined them. Then the gravity of the step he was about to take came over him with a sense of oppression. He felt much as on that Easter morning, years before, when his mother had dragged him out to be confirmed. "The Berkeley faculty won't let Dudley play," Mason was saying.
"Why, I like the young man thoroughly, sir; but I believe that, if we do not find a means of curbing him, this summer's encampment will be a season of unusual mischief and sly insubordination." Perhaps there was something of a twinkle in Colonel Strong's eye as he rose to leave the tent. "If you do catch Mr. Prescott, Bates, I shall be interested in knowing the particulars promptly."
Another tremor more decided then the King stepped softly from the sedan, and stealing barefooted to the curbing looked down the yawning hole. The lamp on the platform enabled him to see a boat drawn up to the lower step, and the stranger in the act of stepping into it. Then the lamp was shifted to the bow of the boat oars taken in hand a push off, and swift evanishment.
We must meet this threat: by making effective agreements to restrain nuclear and missile programs in North Korea, curbing the flow of lethal technology to Iran; preventing Iraq from threatening its neighbors; increasing our preparedness against chemical and biological attack; protecting our vital computer systems from hackers and criminals; and developing a system to defend against new missile threats while working to preserve our Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia.
The old woman caught the import of the movement and clambered stiffly out, stooping low with her head to avoid the top brace. She stood on the curbing, bewildered and blinking, apparently lost. Joe reached out and handed her a card. "You're headed just the same way you were when I picked you up," he said. "And in the same spot."
But the straying brown hair still was there, the brown eyes, the piquant little nose and the prettily formed lips. Fairchild's heart thumped, nor did he stop to consider why. A quickening of his pace, and he met her just as she stepped to the curbing. "I 'm so glad of this opportunity," he exclaimed happily. "I want to return that money to you. I I was so fussed yesterday I did n't realize "
When fifteen minutes later the perplexed Mullinix halted a taxi at the Deansworth Studio Building she was at the curbing, her left arm in a sling and her eyes ablaze with barely controlled emotions. Before he could move to get out and help her in she was already in. "Bellevue Hospital, psychopathic ward," he told the driver as she climbed nimbly inside.
Conrad looked confusedly around, and the same voice said again, "Mr. Dryfoos!" and he saw that it was a lady speaking to him from a coupe beside the curbing, and then he saw that it was Miss Vance. She smiled when, he gave signs of having discovered her, and came up to the door of her carriage. "I am so glad to meet you.
Floating in the water far below were two very dead fledglings. The next day a well cleaner collected twenty-five dollars for removing the birds and pumping out the well. He also gave some excellent advice which was followed promptly. The well house, picturesque though it was, gave way to a substantial masonry curbing equipped with a stout wire cover.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and at the curbing in front of the store were several handsome private carriages, with stiff-backed, motionless coachmen, in bottle-green livery, perched on their boxes, all of which plainly indicated the very desirable patronage accorded the firm mentioned.
