His wife nodded her acquiescence with the plan proposed. "Ellis, can you handle those two big trunks alone?" "Yes, Guv'nor. I'm a leetle bit heavier built than Abbott." Quincy drew Alice's attention to the Eagle Hotel. "There's where we hatched the plot that downed Mr. Obadiah Strout, when he was an enemy of mine.
Fred's temper was up, for Dick had struck him on the nose, bringing blood. "Now we'll give 'em the rope treatment," laughed Ripley, hoarsely, when Dick and his chums had all been downed and were being held. First a noose was slipped over Dick's wrists, and made fast.

Late in the afternoon two of the air birds wanted to get down a little closer, undoubtedly to satisfy themselves as to how the work of destruction had progressed, and one of our little observation planes gave battle to the visitors, engaging the nearest one first.
