"What you doin', a-listening to me talk to Marie Yarbrough th'oo the telephone?" he questioned angrily. "Marie your pig's foot," was the inelegant response. "That was just me a-talking to you all the time. You all time think you talking to little girls and all time 'tain't nobody but me." A light dawned upon the innocent one. He promptly hung up the receiver and got down out of the chair.
"Yes, Samson." Fred gave a quick, excited look round, but they were alone in the patch of forest. "Yes, sir, I'm a-listening." "There's a secret passage leads from there right up to the Hall." "Secret grandmother, sir!" "There is, I tell you," cried Fred, with his voice trembling from excitement. "Scar and I found it one day, and traced it right to the edge of the lake."
"Well, but if these things were given you out of charity, as you say, why should you want to take them up to a fence, as you call it?"
