Peter hustled to the office and called up the Pinkertons over the long distance." Mr. Wingate paused. Captain Sol was impatient. "Go on," he said. "Don't stop now, I'm gettin' anxious." Barzilla rose to his feet. "Here's your McKay man back again," he said. "Let's go up to your house and have breakfast. We can talk while we're eatin'. I'm empty as a poorhouse boarder's pocketbook."
"Just now we're automobilin'," observed Captain Sol. "Set down, Hiram." "Automobilin'?" repeated the new arrival, evidently puzzled. "Sartin. Barzilla's takin' us out. Go on, Barzilla." Mr. Wingate smiled broadly. "Well," he began, "we HAVE just about reached the part where I went autoin'. The widow and me and Jonadab." "Jonadab!" shouted Stitt. "I thought you said " "I know what I said.
You wait and see, Mr. Wingate just you wait and see." "So that was the end of it, hey?" said Captain Bailey. "Well, it's what you might expect, but it wa'n't much to be so anxious to tell; and as for PROVIN' anything about fortune tellin' why " "It AIN'T the end," shouted the exasperated Barzilla. "Not nigh the end.
"I must be goin', too," said the depot master, rising and moving toward the door, picking up his cap on the way. He threw open the door and exclaimed, "Hello! here's Sim. What you got on your mind, Sim?" Mr. Phinney looked rather solemn. "I wanted to speak with you a minute, Sol," he began. "Hello! Barzilla, I didn't know you was here." "I shan't be here but one second longer," replied Mr.
After the train had gone Wingate and Captain Sol entered the station together. The Captain had insisted that his friend come home with him to breakfast, instead of going to the hotel. After some persuasion Barzilla agreed. So they sat down to await Issy's arrival. The depot master could not leave the station until the "assistant" arrived.
Peter looked at Jonadab, and the two of 'em at me. And I had to own up that Willie had come downstairs from that wash room a few minutes after the bell rung. "'Hum! says Peter T. 'Hum! he says. 'Look here, Barzilla, didn't you tell me you knew that feller's real name, and that he had been studying law? "'No, says I, emphatic. 'I said 'twas law he was tryin' to get away from.
In addition to the woods I have already named, there are many others for building, viz. todso, worsmore, and a fine yellow wood, called barzilla, the black and the white mangrove, boxwood of a superior quality, conta, a remarkable fine wood for building, and various kinds of mahogany, of a beautiful colour, and large dimensions.
'Whoever stole the thing is right here in this boardin'-house, and it's up to us to see that they stay here. Barzilla, you take care of the mail. No letters must go out to-night. Jonadab, you set up and watch all hands, help and all. Nobody must leave this place, if we have to tie em. And I'll keep a gen'ral overseein' of the whole thing, till we get a detective.
"Barzilla," says Jonadab, getting ready to turn in, "'tain't possible that that feller with the sprained last name is having fun with us, is it?" "Jonadab," says I, "I've been wondering that myself." And we wondered for an hour, and finally decided to wait a while and say nothing till we could ask Ebenezer.
Seth Wingate over there Barzilla Wingate's cousin, Whit is a sort of relation of mine, and we visit back and forth every nine or ten year or so. The ten year's most up, and he's been pesterin' me to come over. Seth's been Orham town clerk about as long as I've been the Bayport one, and he's lived there all his life.
