Which little girl was the stranger, however, only one mother knew, a humble woman, who, as she knelt amid the congregation, silently invoked a blessing upon the children who by their thoughtfulness had made possible her pious desire that her child might be appropriately and respectfully attired to welcome the coming of Our Lord. The first communicants remained at the convent till dusk.
From four to five on the following afternoon, Martin Dyke, appropriately clad in overalls, sat on a plank and painted. On the afternoon following that the lady of the house came home at four-thirty and caught him at it. "That's going to be ever so much nicer," she called graciously, not recognizing him from the view of his industrious-appearing back. "Thank you for those few kind words."
"You're right. The preparation is half the fun," she agreed. "And it's fun to have every part of it perfect the decorations and the refreshments as well as whatever it is you do for your main amusement." "That's what I think," said Helen. "I like to think that the house is going to be appropriately dressed for our Hallowe'en party just as much as we ourselves."

For there is no visible fire-place any where, and all the cooking that goes forward is conducted at the stove, or, as the Germans appropriately call it, the oven.
Some of his half-heads, who may very appropriately be termed his mortal messengers, in contradistinction to the immortals sent to the shades, arrived at the fort, and, with the Coke, a stern and hardhearted villain, who, in the absence of the yavougah, was the next caboceer, demanded admittance in the king's name, prostrating themselves as usual, and covering their heads with dust.
Some of these entered into an arrangement for spreading truth as purely as it was then known; Huss was chosen their preacher, and there, in a place appropriately called "Bethlehem," or the House of Bread, he "refreshed the common people with the bread of holy preaching."
