The proceedings of the Anglo-Saxons have been told to the world in minute detail, but the secret deliberations of the Imperium are herein disclosed for the first time. The exterior of the Capitol at Waco was decorated with American flags, and red, white and blue bunting.
I'll fix him. But he quietly continued at his own work, notwithstanding, and kept Robert beside him. Mr. Bunting speedily tired of manufacturing the basswood troughs alone, and sloped over to the group who were raising the walls of the shanty.
Stepping back he pressed with all the strength that was in him against the wall, and let the other pass him. There was a pause, and then "Good-night," returned Mr. Sleuth, in a hollow voice. Bunting waited until the lodger had gone upstairs, and then, lighting the gas, he sat down there, in the hall. Mr. Sleuth's landlord felt very queer queer and sick.
Two or three brooding minutes followed. Then Bunting returned to say the pennant was there, a fact he had quite overlooked in his former observations, confounding the narrow flag in question with the regular pennant of the king.
And then, with victory actually in her grasp, poor Daisy saw it snatched from her. "Ellen is right," Bunting said heavily. "Money does matter a terrible deal though I never thought to hear Ellen say 'twas the only thing that mattered. But 'twould be foolish very, very foolish, my girl, to offend your Aunt Margaret. It'll only be two days after all two days isn't a very long time."

"It's awkward," soliloquised he, resting his head on both hands. "I shall have to go at once, and so won't have a chance of seeing Bunting again, to tell him of poor Tom's circumstances.
Bunting now spoke in what her husband sometimes secretly described to himself as "Ellen's snarling voice." He turned away and left the room, feeling oddly troubled. There was something queer about her, and he couldn't make it out. He didn't mind it when she spoke sharply and nastily to him. He was used to that. But now she was so up and down; so different from what she used to be!
He spoke as if the notion had a certain pleasant thrill in it after all. "What stuff you do talk!" said Mrs. Bunting sharply. And then she got up. Her husband's remarks had disturbed her. Why couldn't they talk of something pleasant when they did have a quiet bit of time together? Bunting looked down again at his paper, and she moved quietly about the room.
