"If a chap wants to work, a lot of blackguards come and wreck his furniture." "Look here, Thurston," said the captain coldly, "we've no wish to stay here longer than we can help. We've come simply to tell you this that after what's happened to-night the prefects are determined that to-morrow morning you send in your resignation to the doctor."
The very evening of the house-warming at Luckenough, where Marian had betrayed so much emotion, Thurston had suddenly returned, and presented himself at that mansion.
"I didn't know who else to call, Ed." Collins said. "Sheriff Thurston being out of town and all." "It's okay, Sam. Mike swore me in as a special deputy a couple years back. The badge is at the store." "They'll hang me for this, won't they, Ed?" Michaels put his hand on Collins' shoulder. "No, they won't do that to you, boy. We know you around here.

"Amen; so be it; God forbid that I should grudge the aged patriarch his few remaining days upon earth days, too, upon which his soul's immortal welfare may depend," said Thurston.

It was the testator's special wish that you should join the trustees, and that her husband should not lay his hands upon a dollar.

Tom asked, still using the glasses on the hilly country that lay ahead. "No; he has gone back to Mr. Thurston and Mr. Blaisdell," Hazelton answered. "Doc says he'll have to be with them to quiet them in case the firing gets close. He says both men will become excited and try to jump out of bed and come over here. Doc says he's going to strap 'em both down." "Dr.
As Hodder penetrated this hallowed precinct he recognized, on either hand, the residences of several of his parishioners, each in its ample allotted space: Mrs. Larrabbee's; the Laureston Greys'; Thurston Gore's, of which Mr. Wallis Plimpton was now the master, Mr.
I must say I rather liked Halsey, for he seemed very thoughtful of the Willards, and was never too busy to give an hour or so to any commission they wished carried out without publicity. Two days passed with not a word from Thurston. Kennedy was obviously getting impatient. One day a rumor was received that he was in Bar Harbor; the next it was a report from Nova Scotia.
