The theater was darkened when she entered and, a quick glance apprizing her that no one followed her in immediately, she continued on down one of the side aisles and passed through the doorway into the alley. Five minutes later she was in a telephone-booth in a drug-store two blocks away. "Is this Feinheimer's?" she asked after she had got her connection. "I want to talk to Carl."
Just a week later, to the day, Ayling stepped into a telephone-booth, looked up Mrs. Lonsdale's number, and telephoned. He had not counted upon loneliness. At forty-five Bessie Lonsdale had encountered one of those universal experiences which invariably give us, as individuals, so strong a sense of surprise.
Alphonse Michelson slid into a tan, rain-proof coat, turning up the collar and buttoning across the flap, then fell to pacing the thick-nap carpet. From a mauve-colored telephone-booth emerged Miss Gertie Dobriner, flushed from bad service and from bad air. "Whew!" "Get her?" "Sure I got her. Is it such a stunt to get an address from a customer?" "Good!"

Hard by the doors stood a telephone-booth, and from inside this booth a little girl of nine or ten was peering eagerly out at William, her eyes just above the lower level of the glass window in the door.
Peter would go from the headquarters of the Goober Defense Committee to a telephone-booth in some hotel, and there he would give the secret number, and then his own number, which was six forty-two. Everybody concerned was known by numbers, the principal people, both of the prosecution and of the defense; the name "Goober" was never spoken over the phone.
He was sure that he, the stranger, had been a fool to imagine that he could ever displace Phil. On the third afternoon, suddenly, apparently without cause, he bolted from the office, and at a public telephone-booth he called Ruth. It was she who answered the telephone. "May I come up to-night?" he said, urgently. "Yes," she said. That was all.
He abstractedly brushed his left sleeve or his waistcoat, now and then, as though he wanted to appear neat. He tramped into the telephone-booth of the corner drug-store, called up Professor Frazer: "Hello? Professor Frazer?... This is one of your students in modern drama.
