"To see ME!" repeated Chivers. "You mean the Captain?" "I reckon he means YOU," returned French Pete; "he said the man who talked so purty." The men looked at each other with a smile of anticipation, and put down their cards. Chivers walked towards the door; one or two rose to their feet as if to follow, but Riggs stopped them peremptorily.
Chivers, that I cottoned to from the first. Ef this house wasn't HERS, I'd a' bin tempted to cotton to yer offer, too, and mebbee made yer one myself, for it seems to me your style and mine would sorter jibe together. But I see you sabe what's in my mind, and make allowance. WE don't want no bit o' paper to shake hands on that.
Not long ago I went into the public library of a university town in England and established confidence by saying, "I see that Chivers does your binding," whereupon the librarian invited me inside the railing.
Chivers laid the documents before Indiman; the latter glanced them over and drew out his fountain-pen. A quick look, one of satisfaction and understanding, passed between Chivers and Dr. Magnus. I caught it and tried to convey a warning to my friend. But he had already affixed his signature to the lease of the offices in the Barowsky bank building. Chivers did the same for the bill of sale.
Somebody might recognize HER, and that would be worse for Alice than even if it were known what Alice's BROTHER was. G d! if these two things were put together, the girl would be ruined forever." "Jack," said Chivers suddenly, "you want this woman out of the way. Well dash it all! she nearly separated us, and I'll be frank with you as between man and man. I'll give her up!

And it's miles round to come by the valley from the summit." "You didn't hear your friend Chivers say that the sheriff was out with his posse to-night hunting them?" "No. Did you?"
"But who told ye where to find the mill?" he said, with gentle patience. "A friend," she said hurriedly. "Perhaps," she added, with a singular smile, "a friend of the friend who told you." "I see," said Collinson, with a relieved face and a broadening smile, "it's a sort of fairy story. I'll bet, now, it was that old Barker woman that Chivers knows."
You remember how we took her in, yes, doubly took her in, and kept your secret from her? Riggs walked towards the window, turned, and coming back, held out his hand. "Yes, she did it; and I thanked her, as I thank you." He stopped and hesitated, as the other took his hand. "But, blank it all, Chivers, don't you see that Alice is a young girl, and this woman is you know what I mean.
Clive's wrath against Chivers was speedily turned into compassion and kindness, and he sought, and no doubt found, means of feeding Chivers without offending his testy independence.
Even then he palliated their outrage with his characteristic patience, keeping still his strange fascination for Chivers, and his blind belief in his miserable wife.
