Hunter, and I reckon that he and I will not be any better friends than he and you would be." "Friends," ejaculated the old lady, "I could annihilate him. Oh, Captain Bodine, believe me, you have made a mistake. What will be left of our past if the best and bravest of our number strike hands with these vampires of the North?" "I have not struck hands with him, nor do I ever expect to."
I'm going down to the airplane to see the kids off." Frank had demanded this privilege of going down to the valley and seeing Bob and Jack get away, and the others had no thought of denying him. So all four, bearing the oil torches kept in the cave by Stone for the purpose of lighting the landing field at night, descended from the cave. Tom Bodine was left to guard the two prisoners.
"Then pledge me your word that you will not lose your temper with either Captain Bodine or your father." "Oh, I think I can easily do that," he said good-humoredly. "You don't know, you can't imagine, how you may be tried." "Well, it's a sensible thing you ask, and I've sense enough to know it. I pledge you my word.

"I have a faint recollection of her a dark little woman with black eyes whom I had never seen before. What was her name?" "Bodine," answered Mrs. Dinneford, without a moment's hesitation. "Where does she live?" "She went to Havana with a Cuban lady several months ago." "Do you know the lady's name?" "It was Casteline, I think." Edith questioned no further.
