"I wonder, after all, whether he really understands that we are in search of Edith and Pierce," I observed to Paddy Doyle. "No doubt about it, sir," was the answer; "you'll see when we get to the top that he'll go along the cliff.

You'll have to get your nephew to knock another 10s. off the price of the statue. After all, when he said £81, he must have been prepared to take £80, and he'll have to cut the inscription for us without extra charge." "He might," said Doyle, "if we approached him on the subject." "He'll have to," said Dr. O'Grady, "for £100 is all we've got, and we can't run into debt."
I'll hustle him along a bit, and there's no reason that I can see why he shouldn't be at Ballymoy House by half-past five." "You'll never do all that," said Doyle. "Is it likely he'll go with you?"

Nevertheless suddenly they appeared, driven by Lee riding bareback, and Pups barking his head off. We all jumped up with ropes and nose-bags to head off the horses, and soon had them secured.
It's a nuisance, for I was extremely comfortable on the yacht, but I can't leave things in the muddle they're in now, and there's nobody else about the place I could trust to clear them up."

"I wonder if there will be a letter from Papa," Amy said as they drew near the mail-box, "and if he has a new home for us yet. I should like to see Grandma, and I do want to see Doyle and Lila." Harry, running on ahead, reached into the box and drew out a letter, at sight of which the other children quickened their steps.
Mazarine at the house of Mr. Doyle last evening between the hours of eight and ten o'clock. To- day at noon also I visited her. She has a slight illness, and is not fit to take part in these proceedings." At this point, Scarsdale, who had come upon Orlando and the dead man at the Cross Trails the night before, told his story. He did it with evident reluctance.
When they came to pass sentence upon her, she produced his Majesty's most gracious pardon, and was admitted to bail to plead the same, and thereupon discharged.
