= "I max my expense account wearing out her bed-springs?" ❋ Laban (2005)
The bed-springs began to sing and the headboard rocked into the wall. ❋ Patterson, James, 1947- (1999)
Anyone with any kind of power or national celebrity was represented and the quality of detail was remarkable: in the tape I reviewed of the lovemaking between the late Sam "Mooney" Giancana and a well-known popular singer, even the squeak of the bed-springs was audible. ❋ Liddy, G. Gordon (1980)
She was trembling so that the bed-springs creaked. ❋ Unknown (1920)
Herbert Spencer which I heard him say he wanted, and a sepia print of the _Mona Lisa_ (which my lord says I look like when I'm planning trouble) and a felt mattress and a set of bed-springs (so good-by, old sway-backed friend whose humps have bruised me in body and spirit this many a night!) and a dozen big oranges and three dozen little candles for the birthday cake. ❋ Arthur Stringer (1912)
We bought an old bedtick and stuffed it with corn husks, then a pair of back-number bed-springs, which we put on the floor of the cabin. ❋ Unknown (1909)
"It's the new mother, 'Tella, and Chick's here, and we are playing bear, and we've broken the bed-springs, and she knows heaps and heaps of stories, and she knows Chick!" ❋ Alice Caldwell Hegan Rice (1906)
While thus occupied (and badgering his addled wits to invent some plausible way to elude this Amazon) he was at once startled and still further dismayed to hear the bed-springs creak, a light double thump as two bare feet found the floor, and again the woman's voice flavoured with acid sarcasm. ❋ Louis Joseph Vance (1906)
Lanyard, shaving and dressing, could distinctly hear a tuneless voice contentedly humming "Sally in our Alley," a rendition punctuated by one heavy thump and then another and then by a heartfelt sigh of relief -- as Roddy kicked off his boots -- and followed by the tapping of a pipe against grate-bars, the squeal of a window lowered for ventilation, the click of an electric-light, and the creaking of bed-springs. ❋ Louis Joseph Vance (1906)
The bed-springs in the next room creaked a little and everything was still. ❋ Jennette Barbour Perry Lee (1905)
Then they went upstairs to examine Hastings 'future quarters, test the bed-springs and arrange for the weekly towel allowance. ❋ Unknown (1899)
If the size of the room will warrant it, a rocking-chair or easy-chair should always be part of its equipment, and the mattress and bed-springs should be of a quality to give ease to tired bones, for these things have to do with the spirit of the house. ❋ Candace Wheeler (1875)
I have only three memories of the trip from New York to Concord: Joe's ugly face, under his plug hat, glowering at me from the opposite seat of a railroad car; the creaking bed-springs of the cheap rooming-house in which we stayed in Boston; and an advertisement poster of a young lady crying: "Oh, Ma, I gave my back the awfullest strain, dancing with Billy!" and fond mater replying: "Mustang Liniment, judiciously applied, will ensure certain relief, my dear!" ❋ Unknown (2010)
I'm placing my [mat] down look at all those [bed springs] on the [cot] ❋ Conan Aaron (2021)
