All who favor reform in politics and rebel against the ring-rule of our county officers are invited to be present. "Per order, "People's Committee." "What's all this?" asked Milton of his father. "We're going to have a convention of our own." "We're on the war path," said Amos grimly. "We'll make them fellers think hell's t' pay and no pitch hot."
The sparks should fall in some dry tinder or punk and the little fire coaxed along until you get a blaze. There are many kinds of tinder used in the woods, dried puff balls, "dotey" or rotten wood that is not damp, charred cotton cloth, dry moss, and so on. In the pitch pine country, the best kindlings after we have caught a tiny blaze are splinters taken from the heart of a decayed pine log.
A celebrated detective had been called in. If he succeeded, the plotters failed, and the Stevenses lost the jewels. What more natural than that the criminals should wish to throw the detective on a wrong scent?

Light come, light go and he seemed more giving to fussing about than before.
She is like a revolving lighthouse; pitch darkness alternating with a dazzling brilliancy! But what did you tell her?" the Doctor asked. "What I tell you; that I know very little of him." "Lavinia must have been disappointed at that," said the Doctor; "she would prefer him to have been guilty of some romantic crime. However, we must make the best of people.
"But, mamma, it is pitch dark." "Yes, dear, it is still dark. Sleep again for a while, and I will sleep too. I think Grace will be here to-night, and then there will be no room for me here."
