"Eddie!" he said a third time, pleadingly, abjectly, humbly, craving for forgiveness. "Brother Abner!" said the other man.
And as if quietly satisfied with the sensation they had produced, the three detectives smiled at each other urbanely and contentedly. Barnstable continued: "Reginald Maltravers came to my agency some days ago and requested a bodyguard. Dopey Eddie and Izzy the Cat had attacked him, no doubt intending to earn the money which Elmer had promised them. He beat them off. In fact, he caned them soundly.
Hunt-that-is I've forgotten what her name was before Sandy married her why, I thought she'd split, laughing. She admired you a whole pile, lemme tell you; I could see that." Not unwelcome to the ears of Una was this praise, but she was properly deprecatory: "Why, she probably thought I was just a stuffy, stupid, ugly old thing, as old as " "As old as Eddie Schwirtz, heh? Go on, insult me!
He would sit on the sand for hours imagining that he was at his family table, dispensing his frugal hospitalities to his wife and children. Making a motion, as if presenting a dish, he would say: "Janie, have another biscuit, do!" Or, "Eddie, son, won't you have another piece of this nice steak?" Or, "Maggie, have some more potatos," and so on, through a whole family of six, or more.

"My dear," said her brother, "these pretty little flowers which you've picked to make your shack look bright and and homelike, may mean ruin." "Eddie!"

Mrs. Sharp confirmed his words with a despairing nod of her head.
These two young gentlemen spoke freely about the inferiority of many things "on this side" as they denominated this glorious Land of Freedom of many things from horses to wine.

"I'm glad you feel like that, darling," said Crystal, "because it isn't Eddie I'm engaged to, but Ben Moreton. He's waiting downstairs now." Mr. Cord started up his eyes shining like black flames. "By God! Crystal," he said, "you sha'n't marry that fellow Eugenia perhaps but not you." "But, father, you said yourself, you thought he was a fine " "I don't care what I said," replied Mr.
