"No, he has never broken it; he has kept it as faithfully as Harry kept his." "You don't mean, Kate, that you have broken off your engagement?" She reached over and picked up her parasol: "There never was any engagement.
Ever and anon came the deafening sound of the trip-hammer, the rap-a-tap-tap of the rivet-headers' tools striking upon the heavy boiler-plates; the screeching of steam-whistles; the babel of men's voices; the clanging of deep-toned bells.
When it was time for the games, and they were all on the circle, they began with a quiet play they call 'Silent Greeting, and oh, Margery, they chose me to come in, of their own accord! When I walked into the circle to greet that smallest Walker baby my heart beat like a trip-hammer, I was so afraid I should do something wrong, and they would never ask me in again.
This was unlocked, and yielded easily to the grasp of her hand. It opened upon a narrow platform, and she ventured forth. Gripping the hand-rail she descended slowly into the darkness below, the excitement of the adventure causing her heart to beat like a trip-hammer.
