Thus in that hour, Menelaos fosterling of Zeus, ranged thy shining eyes everywhither through the multitude of the host of thy comrades, if haply they might behold Nestor's son yet alive. Him quickly he perceived at the left of the whole battle, heartening his comrades and rousing them to fight.
Damon read over Mr. Nestor's letter which had lain so long in Tom's pocket unopened. "I think I see how it happened," said the old man. "Eradicate can't read; can he, Tom?" "No, but he pretends he can." "And did you have any empty boxes marked dynamite in your laboratory?" "Why yes, I believe I did. I used dynamite as one of the ingredients of my new explosive."
"Perhaps I'll drop down at Miss Nestor's, and have some apple turnovers," for he had told them or the incident of hiring the new cook. "Well," he went on to Mr. Damon, "are you all ready?"

He was so filled with excitement both because of the hold-up and the new scheme that Mr. Richard Bartholomew had brought to him from the West, that he could keep neither to himself.
