This concession, which is the southernmost but one upon the Tákwá ridge, contains one thousand by two thousand fathoms; and desultory work began in 1880. In places it forms a basset, or outcrop, cresting the summit; and the eastern flank is cliffy, like that of the Tebribi.
Basset, as her guests trooped away, rashly promising to like everything. They found it difficult to keep their word when they were called at half past six next morning. Their rooms were warm, however, and they managed to scramble down in time for breakfast, guided by the fragrance of coffee and Aunt Plumy's shrill voice singing the good old hymn
"I made no such assertion," he said, hotly, for his temper at last was up over his icy bonds of will. "Looks so," said Simon Basset. "You have no right to make such a statement, sir," returned the doctor, and his lips seemed to cut the air like scissors. "What is it, then?" returned the other.
"You'll catch it clear enough, I guess," answered Gladding, "if Holden gits hold o' ye." "Now, Tom Gladding, you needn't think you're going to frighten me," cried Basset, on whom the charm was beginning to work. "I never had sich an idea," said Tom. "But folks does say he's a desperate fighting character.
"I always stand by the law," said Tom, helping him to his feet, "but I admire your imprudence, Basset, in trying to take up a man without a warrant." Basset's faculties were too confused to enter into a discussion of the subject then, and with many threats of taking the law against his tormentors, and, attended by Tom, he limped off the ice.

"You and Prime stood by the door and would ha' seen him if he'd come out there, and I know he didn't jump out o' the window, for I should ha' seen him."
When the men left the store that night, Simon Basset's, Jake Noyes's, and Adoniram Judd's way lay in the same direction. They still discussed poor Abel Edwards's disappearance as they went along. Their voices were rising high, when suddenly Jake Noyes gave Simon Basset a sharp nudge. "Shut up," he whispered; "the Edwards boy's behind us."
Aunt has quantities of ancient finery stowed away, for great-grandfather Basset was a fine old gentleman and his family lived in state. Take your choice of the crimson, blue or silver-gray damask. Ruth is to wear the worked muslin and quilted white satin skirt, with that coquettish hat." "Being dark, I'll take the red and trim it up with this fine lace.
"I'm dressed for my part, and I intend to keep it up. This is our host, my cousin, Saul Basset. Come to the sleigh at once, he will see to your luggage," said Sophie, painfully conscious of the antiquity of her array as her eyes rested on Emily's pretty hat and mantle, and the masculine elegance of Randal's wraps.
I could better bear to hear that he was dead." "There are many of your opinion on that head," said Basset, with a savage grin. "But the fellow was too cunning for all the lawyers, and his conviction at last was only effected by a stratagem." "A stratagem!" exclaimed I, in amazement. "It was neither more nor less.
