Matt puffed as he unstrapped the spare tire and prepared to jack up the wheel. The girls stood around, anxious to make themselves useful, but Matt paid no attention to their offers of help.

Faversham unstrapped his sword and revolver from his belt and laid them on the table. "I saw that your house had unfortunately suffered." "Suffered!" said the garrulous little man.
