Collectively the sentinels asseverated that afterward they had seen the White Lady pass before the guardhouse windows, and that she had even looked in upon them with her great black eyes.

"Then, Marian, I'm to understand it's goodnight?" "I think," said the girl with a level look of disdain, "it might be far better if you were to understand that it's good-bye." "You," he said with slight difficulty "you mean that, Marian?" "Finally!" she asseverated.
At an early hour Hiram Look had come over, gay in his panoply as chief of the Ancient and Honorables, and repeated his insistent demand that the Cap'n ride at the head of the parade in an imported barouche, gracing the occasion as head of the municipality.
