He would have nothing but longwinded cant without book;" and then his Lordship turned up his eyes, clasped his hands, and began to sing through his nose, in imitation of what he supposed to be Baxter's style of praying "Lord, we are thy people, thy peculiar people, thy dear people." Pollexfen gently reminded the court that his late Majesty had thought Baxter deserving of a bishopric.
"Supposing you let me be the judge of that, Mr. Baxter. I promised to do certain things for you. If I do them, you'll have no cause to complain." "Have you decided to take these boys' part?" ejaculated Arnold Baxter, turning pale. "I have made up my mind that treating them like beasts won't do any good." "They don't deserve it." "Don't deserve what?" "To be well treated. They are are "
"So I did; but be didn't say he was going to capture you, and I " "We don't care to listen to your falsehoods, Baxter," interrupted Dick sternly. "You are fully as guilty as anybody. You admitted it before." Cujo had gone off to watch Captain Villaire and his party.
This struck Tom full in the temple and partly dazed him. Then the two clenched awl fell heavily against the rail. "I'll fix you!" panted Baxter, striking another blow as best he could, and then, as Tom struck him in return, he forced Tom's head against the rail with a thump. The blow made Tom see stars and he was more dazed than ever.
Beulah Baxter would issue from the pool there at his feet. He might speak to her, might even help her to climb out. At least no one else had appeared to do this.

Several blocks were covered when Sam, who was looking across the street, uttered a cry of astonishment. "Look!" he exclaimed. "At what?" asked both Tom and Dick.

Baxter held her hand and patted it. "Where does she get that lovely golden hair?" she asked. "Not from you, does she?" "She gets it from her father," answered Adelaide, and her expression added, "you dreadful old goose." In the pause Mathilde made her escape unquestioned. She knew even before a last pathetic glance that her mother was unutterably wearied with her visitor.
"Papa," said Mrs Grantly to him as soon as she had succeeded in getting both Posy and Mrs Baxter out of the room, against the doing of which, Mr Harding had manoeuvred with all his little impotent skill, "Papa, you must promise me that you will not go to the cathedral again alone, till Eleanor comes home." When he heard the sentence he looked at her with blank misery in his eyes.
"Somebody may come along and make trouble for us." "Right ye are," answered Stumpy Nuggs. "Don't let's stay here anudder minit." With Baxter on one side of him, Nuggs on the other, and Longback bringing up the rear, Tom was forced to march along. Once he resisted, and received a punch in the side that took nearly all of the wind out of him.
