There was an awestruck silence; Mrs. DuPont looked as if she'd never even seen anybody puke, Shapiro grinned weakly, very weakly, and said, "It's all right sir--the white wine came up with the fish." When he came back from the restroom after cleaning up as best he could, he found...-nobody. The bill was paid; DuPont had even left a tip. The patriarch came, saw, and spirited away his little family as fast as possible. The young man had vomited on his wife. There was a little note left on a silver tray. It read simply...

She can neither walk, sit, stand or lay with any comfort." The mother also reported that all the children "puke every morning but after are comfortable."

...fires he has fought. In scene after scene the men of Company 82 race up the stairs of flaming tenements, hose-whip tornadoes of dark orange flame, crawl through smoke as thick as gravy, groping for bodies, stagger out with a tragic load of suffocated mothers and babies, then puke black phlegm all over the pavement. Many victims, it is true, are brought out alive-Engine Co. 82 performs prodigies of rescue every...
