If he, Massy, could get hold of it, that would pay for the boilers, and everything went on as before.
You love money yourself." "There's a justice . . ." Massy made an awful effort, and in a strange, half choked utterance "You blind devil! It's you that drove me to it." Captain Whalley, hugging the coat to his breast, made no sound. The light had ebbed for ever from the world let everything go. But this man should not escape scot-free. Sterne's voice commanded "Lower away!" The blocks rattled.
As Sampson with tug and strain stirred from their bases the columns that supported the Philistine temple, so did the gale shake the dense vapours propped on the horizon, while the massy dome of clouds fell to the south, disclosing through the scattered web the clear empyrean, and the little stars, which were set at an immeasurable distance in the crystalline fields, showered their small rays on the glittering snow.

Yes, I'm going fishing, but I'll see you some time to-night." And a little later Shag was electrified by his master's call: "Get things ready!" "Good lan' ob massy, Colonel, sah!
