Minchin called, asked him to see her then and there, and to give her a certificate for the Infirmary; whereupon after examination he wrote a statement of the case as one of tumor, and recommended the bearer Nancy Nash as an out-patient.

The castellan, to whom he showed the certificate, made no comment upon it, and to the horse-dealer's question as to whether he could now have his horses back, replied that he need only go down to the stable and get them.
"Now; right away; before she comes back at Christmas." "No, I can't do it, and I won't. Not till she graduates and gits her certificate. That'll be next June." "What's that got to do with it?"

I shall simply give him six francs and get my certificate without any more ado, just as the other fellows get theirs." That very afternoon Père Duhaut took tea with us, and Émile was mean enough to betray Pierre's intentions. "We'll see," said our curé. The next day Pierre passed our windows. He bowed gayly, and called up that he was going for his six francs' worth of ante-nuptial absolution.
Mellen bent his head, for his enemy was dying. "It is a fair certificate you see, but I was a married man all the time." As Ford whispered these words a fiendish smile covered the lips on which death was scattering ashes.
