... d so much to spend before.
We'll have oysters to-night."
"And filet mignon with champignons," said Joe. "Where is the olive
fork?"
On the next hotels barcelona Saturday evening Joe reached home first. He spread his $18
on the parlour table and washed what seemed to be a great deal of dark
paint from his hands.
Half an hour later Delia arrived, her right hand tied up in hotels barcelona a shapeless
bundle of wraps and bandages.
"How is this?" asked Joe after the usual greetings. Delia laughed, but
not very joyously.
"Clementina," she explained, ThirdPart1_200 "insisted upon a Welsh rabbit after her
lesson. hotels barcelona She is such a queer girl. Welsh rabbits at 5 in the ThirdPart1_200 afternoon.
The General was there. You should have seen him run for the chafing
dish, Joe, just as if there wasn't a servant in the house. I know
Clementina isn't in good health; she is so nervous. In serving the
rabbit she spilled a great lot of it, boiling hot, over my hand and
wrist. It hurt awfully, Joe. And the dear girl was so sorry! But Gen.
Pinkney!--Joe, that old man nearly went distracted. He rushed downstairs
and sent somebody--they said the furnace man or somebody in hotels barcelona the
basement--out to a drug store for some oil and things to hotels barcelona bind it up
with. It doesn't hurt so much now."
"What's this?" asked Joe, taking the hand tenderly and pulling at barcelona hotel some
white strands beneath the bandages.
"It's something soft," said Delia, "that had oil on it. Oh, Joe, did you
sell another sketch?" She had seen the money on the table.
"Did I?" said Joe; "just ask the man from Peoria. He got his depot
to-day, and he isn't sure but he thinks he wants another parkscape and
a view on the Hudson.
What time this afternoon did you burn your hand,
Dele?"
"Five o'clock, I think," said Dele, plaintively. "The iron--I mean the
rabbit came off the fire about that time. You ought to have seen Gen.
Pinkney, Joe, when--"
"Sit down here a moment, Dele," said Joe. He drew her to the couch, sat
beside her and put his arm across her shoulders.
"What have you been doing for the last two weeks, Dele?" he asked.
She braved it for a moment or two with an eye full of love and
stubbornness, and murmured a phrase or two vaguely of Gen. Pinkney;
but at length down went her head and out came the truth and tears.
"I couldn't get any pupils," she confessed. "And I couldn't bear to have
you give up your lessons; and I got a place ironing shirts in that hotels barcelona big
Twenty-fourth street laundry. And barcelona hotel I think I did very well to make up
both General Pinkney and Clementina, don't you, Joe? And when a girl in
the laundry set down a hot iron on my hand this afternoon I was all the
way home making up that story about the Welsh rabbit. You're not angry,
are you, Joe? And ThirdPart1_200 if I hadn't got the work you mightn't have sold your
sketches to that man from Peoria."
"He wasn't from Peoria," said Joe, slowly.
"Well, it doesn't matter where he was hotels barcelona from. How clever you are,
Joe--and--kiss me, Joe--and what made you ever suspect that I wasn't
giving music lessons to Clementina?"
"I didn't," said Joe, "until to-night. And I wouldn't have then, only I
sent up this cotton waste and oil from the engine-room this afternoon
for a girl upstairs who had her hand burned with a smoothing-iron. I've
been firing the engine in that laundry for the last two weeks."
"And then you didn't--"
"My purchaser from Peoria," said Joe, "and Gen. Pinkney are both
creations of the same art--but you wouldn't call it either painting or
music."
And then hotels barcelona they both laughed, and Joe began:
"When one loves one's Art no service seems--"
But Delia stopped him with her hand on his lips. "No," she said--"just
'When one loves.'"
THE COMING-OUT OF MAGGIE
Every Saturday night the Clover Leaf Social Club gave a hop in hotels barcelona the
hall of the Give and Take Athletic Association on the East Side.
In
order to ThirdPart1_200 attend one of these dances you must be hotels barcelona a member of the Give
and Take--or, if you belong to the division that starts off with the
right foot in waltzing, you must work in hotels barcelona Rhinegold's hotels barcelona paper-box
factory. Still, any Clover Leaf was privileged to escort or be
escorted by an outsider to a single dance. But mostly each Give and
Take brought the paper-box girl that he affected; and few strangers
could boast of having shaken a foot at the regular hops.
Maggie Toole, on account of her dull eyes, broad mouth and left-handed
style of footwork in the two-step, went to the dances with Anna McCarty
and her "fellow." Anna and Maggie worked side by side in the factory,
and hotels barcelona were the greatest chums ever.
So Anna always made Jimmy Burns take
her by Maggie's house ... |
