They were so natural, and made no effort to be what they were not. "You must be tired, my Lord," said Mrs. Larkins, "after this trying day." "Not so much tired as puzzled," was the reply. "And did you get no light on the matter?" "Not a bit. Look at all those notes I took not worth the paper on which they are written. Everything is hearsay nothing definite.
"But the fishing?" cried Nan curiously. "Ah, yes. I am coming to that," said her mother. "The fishing, to be sure! Why, we are going to write letters to just everybody we know, and some we only know by hearsay, and find out if there isn't a niche for Papa Sherwood somewhere outside Tillbury." "So we can!" cried Nan, clapping her hands.
It was not long before he realized that all this high praise was hearsay and that not a single man in Natera's army had ever laid eyes on Villa. "Well, when you get down to it, I guess it doesn't mean so much! No man's got much more guts than any other man, if you ask me. All you need to be a good fighter is pride, that's all.

She knew and remembered much less than any ordinary girl would have done. But still, in the main, she guessed at what was passing. That of course was the Sacrament, before which Mr.

At any rate he sickened, and died there, "before he could accomplish his desires" "all things hereby remaining in suspense." One account, based on the hearsay of a sea-captain, says that Mansvelt was taken by the Spaniards, and brought to Porto Bello, and there put to death by the troops.
