Cronk did not heed the pitter-patter of his mother's feet as she cleared the table, nor did he hear the droning of the twin's voices in the loft above. He was thinking of how the dead woman with her child his child, the one small atom he would have loved better than himself would be well avenged when Flea went away with Lem. Lon had kept track of the doings of the young district attorney.
Faith and Hope had never seen him in this role before, and the former felt her eyes fill, while the latter suddenly put out a hand and clasped her twin's in a little ecstasy of admiring appreciation. Neither had even looked towards young Allyne, nor Chester Carnegie. The latter, grave and attentive, sat near one of the open doors and followed the service without a glance about him.
But the Wilbur twin's perverse mind merely ran to the picture of fatted calf, though without relish he did not like fat meat. It was good to be back in a human atmosphere once more, where he could hear his father's quips.
I was almost alone at Hill's, but took a canoe, paddled down Black Bayou to the gunboat Price, and there, luckily, found the Silver wave with a load of men just arrived from twin's plantation. The night was absolutely black, and we could only make two and a half of the four miles.
"What's the riddle, Laddie?" asked Vi, shaking her curly hair and looking up with her gray eyes at her brother, whose locks were of the same color, though not quite so curly as his twin's.

Let's go up to the snuggery and get comfy." She went off to find some putty and joined Janet a few minutes later. "Now read," she said, as she cuddled down into the corner of the couch.
The Diligent and Silver Wave then returned to twin's plantation and brought up Brigadier-General Giles A. Smith, with the Sixth Missouri, and part of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Illinois. Admiral Porter was then working up Deer Creek with his iron-clads, but he had left me a tug, which enabled me to reconnoitre the country, which was all under water except the narrow strip along Deer Creek.
We've been hunting all over camp for you. You're elected most popular camper! You've won the Buffalo Robe! Oh, Agony, you've won the Buffalo Robe!" It was Oh-Pshaw who was speaking, and she cast herself on her twin's neck and kissed her rapturously.
