"Wot's that sick worm at the bottom of the page?" he asked. "Wot might you think it wos?" said Uncle Ben beamingly. "Looks like one o' them snake roots you dig up with a little mud stuck to it," returned Rupert critically. "That's my name." They both stood looking at it with their heads very much on one side.

All afternoon in a mood of tropic sunrise he collected rents, or with glad vagueness consented instantly to their postponement. "I've come about the rent again," he said beamingly to one delinquent tenant of his father's best client; and turned and walked away, humming a waltz-song, while the man was still coughing as a preliminary to argument.
And her blushes came and went so fast, she was so nervous and yet so beamingly happy, that Miss Hilary soon suspected there was more in this visit than at first appeared.
