"So much for number one," said Captain Wopper, with a look of satisfaction. "They won't fix the other ones so easily," observed the Professor, re-examining the stake through the telescope with great care. He was right in this.
He revelled in mysteries, and if the present one admitted of solution I felt confident that he would solve it. People were about me the whole time. Hence I had no opportunity of re-examining the little object I had picked up from the spot where the murderer must have stood.
Upon carefully re-examining the ground my conviction is strengthened that it is exceedingly desirable to hold all we have gained, and if Hascall's place could possibly be filled by troops drawn from other parts of the line, it would give all the force needed to make a point-d'appui which would be safe and exceedingly available for future movements in this direction if they become necessary.

The precise dinner hour he did not know; and notwithstanding repeated exertions, he had hitherto been unable to find the blooming Clara.
This calculation included everything, even to the dust, which I had carefully gathered up from the boards; and now, on re-examining what remained, I perceived that there was not enough to sustain me for a week! This discovery added to the gloom of my situation; but I did not suffer it to bring despair.
