They were twenty-five more than Sidsall's; yet, he added in self-extenuation, he was not definitely snared in middle age; he was still elastic in body and youthful, but for graying hair, in appearance.

He had scratched an aborigine, and to his surprise was finding indications of a man. "I guess I can get along without it," shortly.

And if circumstances should arise to bring before you the story of that which has caused me so much darkness, I have nothing to say in self-extenuation. I made one mistake that of fear and in committing one error, I shouldered every blame. It makes little difference now. I am dead and free. My love to you, my son. I hope that wealth and happiness await you.
To open them in self-extenuation would mean that she must be brought into it; for she had been the one who had clinched the points of suspicion in the mind of Medaine Robinette. Were he now to speak of proof that she had lied It was impossible.
