When Diamond the boy was half-way down, he remembered that it was of no use to go this way, for the stable-door was locked.

They could see me and scattered in all directions. I waited until they were beginning to return, when from the thicket of leaves emerged a deep rose-flushed little moth that sailed away, with every black one in pursuit. I almost fell from the ladder. I went inside, only to learn that what I feared was true.
They conducted him through into a rear room, where one of the pair raised a trap-door in the floor. "Now, this is easy," smiled one of the pair, pointing to the darkness under the open trap. "We have take ladder away, but you can drop. Not far." Then, seeing a look of alarm flit across the boy's face, the fellow laughed, adding: "No hurt. All right. See?" He dropped a stone through the trapway.
The thief had at once disappeared below and secured himself within a surrounding of his own chums, so that it was feared he might escape with his booty, as no one seemed "game" to descend the fore companion ladder and encounter this sinister crowd below. Mackinnon at once took the cause in hand.
There is a sad want of thoughtful mercy among us all. Every step we take on the ladder upwards helps to a higher. If we are true Odd-Fellows we will put away all bitterness and malice.

He could put up a ladder a real, old-fashioned, wooden ladder for us." "Yes, and when Patrick gets back those women will get back with him," replied Hawkins heatedly. "Your wife's coming over here to tea." "Well?" "Well, do you suppose I'm going to be found stuck up here like a confounded rooster on a weather vane?" shouted the inventor. "No, sir! You can stay and look all the fool you like.
It is alleged that a pane was cut from this window at the side. It was, and the pieces were there to show it. But take a glance at this outside photograph. To reach that window even a tall man must have stood on a ladder or something. There are no marks of a ladder or of any person in the soft soil under the window. What is more, that window was cut from the inside.
The clerk was going to be very attentive, but finding the visitor had come only to speak to a workman, his tense attitude slackened a little, and he merely signified the foot of a Flemish ladder on the other side of the yard, saying, 'You will find him, sir, up there in the joiner's shop.
"Then, if you send no word, I'll pull out for Havana and get the engines properly fixed. Better take this bag of Spanish money; minted silver goes and you may find the dagos shy of the president's notes." Kit took the money, a boat was swung out, and four sailors carried the plain, flag-wrapped coffin down the ladder. They were rough men, but Kit imagined he could trust them.
