He went out as a miner, havin' been a pit-hand at the Blackstone Colliery, north o' Bursfield. Well, one week-end about a month before he started he took a noliday an' went a trip with me to Stratford aboard this very boat. Which for six months past I'd 'ad a neye upon a girl in Stratford. She was a General " "Salvation Army?"
But it conveyed a great deal. Parson Chichester reached across with his disengaged right hand, took the card and read The Reverend Purdie J. Glasson, LL.D., Holy Innocents' Orphanage, Bursfield. The words danced before his eyes.
He's in Bursfield at this moment, you may bet, carting those orphans around into temporary quarters. And Elphinstone is a kind-hearted man, but orphans are not exactly his line not what he'd call congenial to him." "But these two?

Each boat had a steersman, and the steersman called to Sam and asked for news of his young woman; whereupon Sam called back, offering to punch their heads for twopence.

Because I've written out this telegram, which I'll trouble you to send as soon as the post office opens to-morrow.
He's the very subject for sea-sickness, the brute! . . . And the two will probably pass one another at some time in the middle of the night, while I'm sleeping like a top after a happy day at Bursfield." "You count on Chandon's coming?" "Here's the telegram 'Return Meriton Wednesday at latest. Important. Sally Breward." "Will that fetch him?" "Of course it will.
