With wrathful eloquence he had told his companion the history of the terrible night, and now sat weaving plots in his maddened brain. Replying to his assertion that Amos was responsible, Madam Marx said: "Don't be too impetuous, Gregorio. Search cunningly before you strike. Maybe your wife knows something." "My wife! Not she; she is with her Englishman.

Robie brought his fist down on the counter in an excitement such as he had never before manifested. "Brad Talcott! We'll elect him sure as hell!" Amos hastened to put in a word. "Brad's a Republican." "He's a Free Trade Republican," said the Judge, quietly. "How do yeh know?" "Oh, I know. Haven't I been a workin' 'im for these last two years?

Amos is soon too old to work it and you can't depend on hired help. Then what?" "Search me," said the boy inelegantly. "But I'm not worrying about it. We may not want to live here ten years from now. But, Mother," he veered suddenly, "got any pie left from dinner? I'm hungry. May I forage?" "Help yourself, Philip. There's a piece of cherry pie and a slice of chocolate cake in the cellar."

When Amos finished, all came and shook hands with Robert. Mr. John Rowe called the meeting to order. "Since our last meeting," he said, "a ship has arrived bringing the news that the king and ministers are determined to levy an export duty of three pence per pound on tea: that is, all tea exported from England will be taxed to that extent.

That is well said, Benjamin, Eleazar replied: Amos, who is standing by the fig-tree yonder, will pass on the word. They cried out to him and watched the warning being passed from Essene to Essene till it reached the brother standing by the bridge-head.

I picked up my jacket and handed it to him to put on; for though it was a warm day, he looked cold and peaked. His feet were badly cut, and were done up in bandages of cloth. Then I filled my pipe, and taking out my flint and steel, lit it and gave it to him. "This isn't b-bad. Now row to the place where the victuals are." Edmund and 'Bijah rowed, while I questioned Amos.

Three times more Greg and his fellows whooped before Dick could get together enough wind to make his voice travel. Greg repeated the hail, and again Dick answered. After a few minutes the other Grammar School boys caught up with Dick and his friend, who told to the new-comers the story of the encounter with Amos Garwood. "Get away from you again?" asked Tom blankly.

Amanda's face had brightened at Amos's assertion that he knew he could find Anne, and now she asked eagerly: "What makes you think you could find her, Amos?" "You won't tell?" and Amos looked at his sister sharply. "I promise, hope to die, I won't," answered Amanda. "Well, I'll tell you. I think she started for Truro, and will go by the meadows and over the hill instead of the regular path.

I should in that event leave Reverdy and Sarah and little Amos. I should see less of Douglas. But I began to be desperately annoyed by my situation. I could not wholly live down the killing of Lamborn. There was the memory of Zoe. There was now Fortescue. And in Chicago there was Abigail, to whom I was writing. She had become a very close friend.

"I guess last night did for me, Amos. I've got some kind of fever coming on. Start a fire if you can, and let us try to warm ourselves." The ground was wet, but Amos and Edmund collected an armful of dry wood from sheltered spots. We rubbed some gunpowder into a rag, and sprinkled more over it. We held it near the lock of the gun, and flashed some powder in the pan.
