Santry exulted, as they left the lights of Crawling Water behind them. "It sure feels good to be out of that there boardin'-house. It wasn't our fault, Gordon, and say, about this here shootin'...." "I know all about that, Bill," Wade interposed. "The boys told me. They're waiting for us at the big pine. But your arrest, that's what I want to hear about."
"Where is he now?" "He is in the poor-house." "And you, too?" "Yes, sir," and the lad found expression for his distress in another flow of tears. "Well, well, well, well! If that ain't the strangest thing I ever hearn on! Paul Benedict, of Sevenoaks, in Tom Buffum's Boardin'-house!" "Yes, sir, and he's very crazy, too."
I don't believe much in the sea serpent anyway, and I don't believe it ever come nigh the Thousand Island Park grounds only the usual old serpent of Evil, that the good Christians there fight agin all they can. Whitfield's aunt kep' a small boardin'-house at the Park.
'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.
"I come down to talk things over," said Molly, at last, brushing the crumbs of cake from her lap. "I've got a chance in the shoe-shop." "Do tell! Well, ain't that complete? Don't you say one word, now! I know how 'tis. You think how you'll have to give up the birds' singin', an' your goin' into the woods arter groundpine, an' stay cooped up in a boardin'-house to Sudleigh. I know how 'tis!
Gunnion hain't settled with me yet for my fish." Andrew nodded. "Seventy-five dollars." "And I've got quite a count of lobsters up to the boardin'-house " Andrew's small eyes squinted knowingly. "Out o' season?" Uncle William returned the look benignly. "We didn't date the 'count just lumped 'em, so much a catch; saves trouble." Andrew chuckled. "I've saved trouble that way myself."
Well, what I started to say was that when I turn up in Boston, now, and I most generally do, I don't go to no sailor boardin'-house; I break for the Wayfarer's Lodge, every time. It's a temperance house, and they give you the worth o' your money." "Come! Hurry up!" said the attendant. He wiped the table impatiently with his towel, and stood waiting for Lemuel and the other to finish.
Things come to me then like pictures wind and sea and fog and the wrecks on a lee shore. In my business but of course you know runnin' after wrecks, from Newfoundland to Cuba, I had to be days and maybe weeks away from home which was no harm when I had no more home than a room in a sailor's boardin'-house, and no harm later with Sarah.
"You set yourself down on that thar step and we'll have this here thing out. My boardin'-house is for gals. I fixed it so when I come here.
Half an hour later they had found the place where, as Harrigan claimed, "de French leddy" had delivered the trunks to him. "I t'ought o' course she'd been fired out o' some boardin'-house," said Harrigan. "Dere's a hash-mill dere on der right. I had an idea she'd been trun out o' dere." Nick meanwhile had been examining the sidewalk with the aid of his dark lantern. "Clever work," he said.
