Coming to the obscure little bypath, he shot a surreptitious glance into the fastnesses of the wood, but did not slacken his speed. No one was in sight. "I dare say the danger is past, Griggs," he said humorously. "They are safe." "I believe you, sir," said Griggs, also forgetting himself so far as to steal a look over his right shoulder. It was Mr.
Shall I ever forget the day when you first shone upon me; when, emerging from childhood as from a dim and solitary bypath, I stood forlorn on the great thoroughfare of life, and all the prospects before me stretched sad in mists and in rain?
What do you mean about loyalty and character? I don't understand. She was not to be hustled from her bypath. She had chosen her route, and she meant to travel by it, ignoring short-cuts. 'To Cynthia, as I say, it was final. She simply could not see that the matter was not irrevocably settled. I thought it so fine of her.
In silent assent to his invitation, she pointed her crop to a path among the trees, which might easily have escaped the observation of those not familiar with its existence.

"I do not know these Crowhursts," said Mr. Cardew; "they are Dissenters, I believe." The subject dropped, and Catharine had not another word to say about Phoebe. "You look fatigued and as if you were not very well."
Cutty, the most honest man alive, had set his foot upon an unethical bypath and now found himself among nettles. To keep Johnny Two-Hawks prisoner in that lofty apartment while he hunted for the drums of jeopardy! Hadn't he said he had seen emeralds he would steal with half a chance? Cutty, playing at this sort of game, his conscience biting whichever way he turned!

He was a tall broad-shouldered man in a large pilot coat, cap and boots, and appeared to walk somewhat lame as he approached the door. He tried the handle. It was locked, of course.
