The plan, correct in every particular, indicated the plate closet to their right. A gleam from the lantern showed it; the key-hole was old-fashioned as also described, and in a moment brutus had it open.

I have nothing to tell you from hence concerning public affairs, but what you read in the newspapers. This only is extraordinary: that last week, in the House of Commons, above ten millions were granted, and the whole Hanover army taken into British pay, with but one single negative, which was Mr. Viner's. Mr. Pitt gains ground in the closet, and yet does not lose it in the public. That is new.

Unless you promise this, back you go into the dark closet, and I shall keep you there all the time." Ida shuddered at this fearful threat, terrible to a child of nine. "Do you promise?" "Yes," said the child, faintly. "For fear you might be tempted to break your promise, I have something to show you." She went to the cupboard, and took down a large pistol. "There," she said, "do you see that?"

The sheep took no heed of him, but sometimes when he rose from his knees and saw Oscar gazing at him with deepest regard, he would feel a little as if he had not quite entered enough into his closet, and would wonder what the dog was thinking.

There was a burst of acrid smoke into the room, and Godfrey stepped back with a stifled exclamation. "Come here, you fellows!" he cried, and Simmonds and I sprang to his side.

This change from a summer to a winter rain had altered Kate's mood, and her face was now, as always, a reflex of the face of nature. "Shut the window, please Alec," she said, with a shiver. "We'll have a fire directly," said Alec. "No, no," returned Kate, trying to smile. "Just fetch me a shawl from the closet in my room." Alec had not been in his own room since Kate came.
