But Scranton still had faith in Tyree, and if things broke half-way decently in the next game they fully expected to make their adversaries "take their dust," as Thad expressed it. During this time, of course, the wonderful happenings at the Hosmer cottage had become town talk. Everybody was greedily drinking in such details of the story as they could manage to gather up.
Steele arose from the table and stretched his shoulders. "And I'll hitch up my team immediately," the rancher said. "I'll go with you," Mary exclaimed. "Tut, tut, girl." "I can help you, and I want to do something to help Mr. Weir and Janet Hosmer, even if it's only a little bit.
She pulled a little handkerchief out of her muff, and began to sob heavily into it. "I shall glance into the case for you," said Holmes, rising, "and I have no doubt that we shall reach some definite result. Let the weight of the matter rest upon me now, and do not let your mind dwell upon it further. Above all, try to let Mr. Hosmer Angel vanish from your memory, as he has done from your life."
He and Hosmer were dismounting at the cottage, which decided Mrs. Worthington to go and look after them; Fanny for the time being in her opinion not having “the gumption to look after a sick kitten.” “This is what I call solid comfort,” she said looking around the well appointed sitting-room, before quitting it. “You ought to be a mighty happy woman, Mrs.

Partly by pantomimic signs interwoven with a few French words which he had picked up within the last year, Hosmer succeeded in making himself understood to the old man, and rode away leaving Fanny in his care.
I know not whether there be some magic in the present imperfect finish of the statue, or in the material of clay, as being a better medium of expression than even marble; but certainly I have seldom been more impressed by a piece of modern sculpture. Miss Hosmer showed us photographs of her Puck which I have seen in the marble and likewise of the Will-o'-the-Wisp, both very pretty and fanciful.
But Nathan’s determination was not proof against the substantial inducements which Hosmer held out to him; and soon they were launched, all hands assisting in the toilsome passage. The water, in rising to an unaccustomed height, had taken on an added and tremendous swiftness.
"I knew her to stretch out a helping hand to an unfortunate artist, a poor, uneducated, unattractive American, against whom the other Americans in Rome shut their houses and their hearts. When the other Americans turned from the unsuccessful artist, Harriet Hosmer reached forth the helping hand.
