The last mentioned watchman took upon himself the reply to this interrogatory by a very summary proceeding: he collared Dartmore, and his companions did the same kind office to us.
Of the first of these Userti warned me by a messenger, but the second and worse Ki discovered in some strange way, so that the murderer was trapped at the gate and killed by the watchman, whereon Seti said that after all he had been wise to give hospitality to Ki, that is, if to continue to live were wisdom.
As we waited for the watchman to turn on the lights I exclaimed, "He failed this time because the electricity was shut off." Precisely, Walter," assented Kennedy. "But the flames which the night watchman saw, what of them?" put in McCormick, considerably mystified. "He must have seen something." Just then the lights winked up.
A contented watchman, dozing by a comfortable fire, cared little who came or went and rarely bestirred himself to ask the question.

Bolt went and told Henry, and it only worried him; he could do nothing. Bolt went and hired a watchman and a dog, at his own expense. The dog was shot dead one dark night, and the watchman's box turned over and sat upon, watchman included, while the confederates trampled fifty thousand raw bricks into a shapeless mass.
For the life of me, I cannot find the 'even so' in this sentence. The watchman cries, 'half-past three o'clock. Even so, and after the same manner, the great Cham of Tartary has a carbuncle on his nose. Chap. LX. p. 483.
