"I am so glad to have found you out, my dear fellow," Edgar began. "Who would have thought of meeting you, of all people in the world, here, ensconsed in such a quiet nook of this busy island a place where the noise and bustle and stir of the Great Babylon can not even be heard.
After pacing up and down between the briny gulls and a polka-band, he made his way forethoughtfully to the glass-sheltered seats fronting East: where, as his enthusiasm for the solemnity of the occasion excited him to say, 'We have a view of the terraces and the cliffs'; and where not more than two enwrapped invalid figures were ensconsed.

He found a hack, and had the insensible detective borne to his home, which was not reached until nearly midnight. When the man-tracker opened his eyes, he found himself in a cozy room, snugly ensconsed on a huge sofa, with the fumes of a hot sling in his nostrils.

"Ah," he said easily.
The hill was very steep, the river fairly curled around it, and the horses grew more nervous each moment, under the strain that was being put upon them.
