Uncle Pyke never would produce the key or whatever he might be asked to show. Uncle Pyke would grunt and go on with his soup with enormous noise as though having a bath in it. Uncle Pyke never spoke at all to Rosalie on these week-end visits except, always, to put her through examination on what she was learning at school.
The four bandits, two of them much the worse for the night's contact with Wicker Bonner, were bundled into the lock-up, a sadly morose gang of ghosts. "I owe you a thousand dollars," said Anderson to Bonner as they drew up in front of the marshal's home. All Tinkletown was there to see how Mrs. Crow and the family would act when Rosalie was restored to them.
"I won't take it back!" retorted Sylvia, "and you are the ones who will have to apologize. Yes, every one of you, before I will ever speak to you again." "Hear that, girls! Wouldn't it be dreadful if she never spoke to us again!" sneered Elinor. "She means she will tell Miss Rosalie," said one of the girls. "I don't, either. I can look after my own afffairs," retorted Sylvia bravely.

But, when she saw it kicking about on the chair, she grew alarmed, and cast an angry look at Catherine. 'Oh! you can look at me as much as you like, said Catherine.

She answered, "Dear, of course I do." His eyes remained upon the fire. "Rosalie, d'you know I sometimes don't."
Rosalie was standing beside her, setting out the folds of her white dress, and fetching everything she needed; her large necklace of pearl beads, the wreath of white lilies for her hair, and the bracelets, rings, and other articles of mock jewellery with which she was adorned.
Old Bambousse, though one sees but little of him, stands out as a genuine type of the hard-headed French peasant, who invariably places pecuniary considerations before all others. And Fortune and Rosalie, Vincent and Catherine, and their companions, are equally true to nature. It need hardly be said that there is many a village in France similar to Les Artaud.
