I have not yet described the crew of the "Eagle."
"'T ain't enough!" "Of course it isn't. He short-changed you. The job is worth twice as much," said Bet indignantly. The men looked pleased. "We got a five spot between us for catching the old man and tying him up. And we are to get five each for this." "Your master isn't very generous. Do you often work for Kie Wicks?" asked Bet. "No, we never saw him before.
We are always facetious when a new job comes up. I should not be surprised if the immortals were much the same. Catching the eight o'clock express is with us rather a legend than a solid fact, in spite of our vaunted breakfast at half after seven.

His footsteps have been tracked to the cliff edge, and there they stop." "Poor fellow! Has he any relatives?"
