"If you was to make a break I'd just nacherally plug you. I got your gun. You're safer afoot." "I'll promise " "Nope. You're too willin'." "I'm all in," said Waco. "I got to take you to Stacey just the same."
'I know Stacey well, said the General, 'Colonel Stacey is a man of honour. I have a great respect for Stacey, and I will abide by his opinion. I feel assured that he will be on my side. Will you kindly take me to him?
And let us hope that, in many cases, the contrite confession which is withheld from men is yielded where it is more fitly due. When I was quite a lad, a servant lived with us of the name of Anne Stacey. She had been in the service of William Cobbett, the political writer, who resided for some years at Botley, a village a few miles distant from Itchen.
'Vava, who told you? cried Stella, surprised out of her caution, for she had not meant to tell her younger sister the real facts of the case. 'Mrs. Stacey has been here, and she told me that there were some other people coming to the Manor House. When I said we didn't want them, she said the Manor House was not ours, and that we should not be able to keep them out.
Herman was still sleeping when Stacey rose and dressed and went down to breakfast. Mrs. Mills defended Herman against the charge of laziness: "He's probably been out late all the week."

You are all under arrest for arson. But you, Samuel Lazard, are also under arrest for the murder of Rebecca Wend and six other persons in fires which you have set.

In the morning he would search for Señor Jim. He must find him. Mrs. Adams answered his knock at the hotel door by coming down and letting him in. Ramon saw by the office clock that it was past three.
I was on my way back the third year, when I stopped in to see the pit it's one o' the sights of Chicago, you know and Billy Krans saw me looking over the rail, I went in, won, and then took a flyer on December.
