Each man was seeing the situation from his own angle; to Reynolds, its medical interest, and the possibility of his permanency in the town; to Walter Wheeler, Elizabeth's spoiled young life; to Harrison Miller, David; and to the reporter a conviction that the clues he now held should lead him somewhere, and did not.
"Witla's married!" he exclaimed, bursting into her room, and for the moment Miriam lost her self-possession sufficiently to reply almost dramatically: "Richard Wheeler, what are you talking about! You don't mean that, do you?" "He's married," insisted Wheeler, "and he's living down in Washington Square, 61 is the number. He has the cutest yellow-haired wife you ever saw."
"My doctor," says Goodall of Memphis, a little boastingly, "gives me three months." "Oh," remarks the man from Toledo, filling up great gaps in his conversation with wheezes, "damn the difference. What's months! Expect to cut mine down to one week and die in a hack a four wheeler, not a cough. Be considerable moanin' of the bars when I put out to sea.
A chapter is included on trap shooting and the book closes with a forceful and common-sense presentation of the etiquette of the field.

It was the third room from No. 17 which Mr. Wheeler occupied. As a general thing the occupants of the Miners' Rest went to bed early. Mining is a fatiguing business, and those who follow it have little difficulty in dropping off to sleep. The only persons who were not engaged in this business were Louis Wheeler and Rodney Ropes.
Then came the outbreak at Meerut, then the capture of Delhi by the mutineers; in June came the three-weeks leaguer of Sir Hugh Wheeler in his open lot at Cawnpore 40 miles distant from Lucknow then the treacherous massacre of that gallant little garrison; and now the great revolt was in full flower, and the comfortable condition of things at Lucknow was instantly changed.
"Is it about Mr. Wheeler?" he asked. "Yes, the man is a thief. He stole the casket, which contains valuable jewelry, from my young friend here.
