Norris bought that invention of your brother's, would it make things easier for the Mill people?" Beryl jerked herself up on her elbow. "Red-Robin Forsyth, are you crazy? Fussing over that absurd toy of Dale's at this hour? Why should you care?" Beryl sank back into her pillows and stretched. "Didn't Mr. Kraus have the most glorious eyes?" Robin answered with amazing positiveness.
"That's what I said. Well, she ran off with it, Kraus gave chase, Tom headed toward Cornwall, then switched off on an unimproved road and came to grief. Just as Kraus was about to overtake them the child ran off into the wood.
"Because that would be too light a punishment," said Kraus, with an expression of gloomy hate. "Because it would be an atonement for all his crimes, if he fell beneath the daggers of murderers. Such daggers rendered the tyrant Julius Cæsar a hero, a martyr, and they would also transform Napoleon into a demi-god.
"You don't get that stuff from books, exactly, Pop. It comes here," touching his head. "If I only had the money to have the thing made in metal. Oh, well, what's the use of talking.

Adam Kraus had opened their eyes. He was their hero for the moment. As he came, somewhat precipitously, from the office building they gave a quick shout that died, however, with a menacing suddenness, as they saw his failure written on his angry face.

Beryl, annoyed that no one noticed her and Robin and treated them "as though they were just children," ate ravenously, in dignified silence. The talk centered about the Mills. Adam Kraus freely ridiculed the Forsyth methods.
Baron von Moudenfels or Commissioner Kraus tapped the slumberer lightly on the shoulder. "Wake up and open the door, Peter!" he said. The man started up and stared at the person standing before him with dilated eyes. "Who are you, sir, and what do you want of me?" he exclaimed sulkily. "Then you don't know me?" asked Kraus, smiling. "Must I tell you that I am your master?" "Herr Baron! Is it you?
"One would really suppose you had been present, yet I distinctly remember that this was not the case." "No, I was not; but you probably know that a certain Commissioner Kraus was there.
Powers and White have gathered 69 cases of either total or partial extirpation of the larynx, to which the 240 cases collected and analyzed by Eugene Kraus, in 1890, have been added.
