Twomey fervently, expressing in this concise form her gratitude to her Creator for what she considered to be Larry's release from a very vile durance "He's long enough in it already!" "The Doctor wouldn't let me move him any sooner," replied Miss Coppinger, apologetically. "The divil doubt him, what a fool he'd be!" said Mrs. Twomey with a bitter laugh.
"I should think your ears must have burned this dinner-time." "Why, now?" inquired Brent. "Uncle Simon brought Mallet and Coppinger home to dinner," continued Queenie. "It was lucky there was a big hot joint! they're all great eaters and drinkers. And they abused you to their hearts' content. This Town Council business they say it's infernal impudence for you to put up for election.
Mallett's guests remain with him?" "Well, Alderman Crood and Mr. Krevin Crood left at about a quarter to eleven. They went away together. Mr. Coppinger stopped till about half-past eleven." Meeking paused at this point, put his hand underneath the papers which lay in front of him and produced a cardboard box.
"''Tis whispered in Heaven, 'tis muttered in Hell' that the encumbrances are very heavy mortgages and debts . The good Major had a long family, Mr. Coppinger; fine, dashing young min they are too, but we all know that expenses do not tend to diminish as families grow up!
James M. Wade, U. S. Volunteers, the third corps, reporting to Major-General Brooke, Chickamauga. “Maj.-Gen. John J. Coppinger, U. S. Volunteers, the fourth corps, Mobile, Ala. “Maj.-Gen. William R. Shafter, U. S. Volunteers, the fifth corps, Tampa, Fla. “Maj.-Gen. Elwell S. Otis, U. S. Volunteers, to report to Major-General Merritt, U. S. A., for duty with troops in the Department of the Pacific.

Coppinger, a younger man, had that same watchful look; a moment later, Brent saw it in Crood's big face too. They were all watchful, all sly, these men, he decided: the sort who would sit by and listen, and admit nothing and tell nothing; already, before even he asked the questions which he had come to put, he knew that he would get no answer other than noncommittal, evasive ones.
He and his gang worked their own wicked will, and the poor inhabitants of the place were completely in their power, for there were no magistrates, or rich men of power in that part, and no revenue officer dared show himself. The clergyman was scared into silence, and Coppinger and his band ruled the country-side. Very soon a regular system of smuggling was carried on.
He looked round at the dark-walled, closely shuttered old houses about him with a sense of dull anger surely they were typical of the reserve, the cunning watchfulness, the suggestive silences of the folk who lived in them, of whom he had just left three excellent specimens in Crood, Mallett and Coppinger.
Coppinger, saying that he was Unexpectedly obliged to leave for England, at an early hour next day, and regretted that he could not come to say good-bye. He added a postscript. "Miss Elvan will, of course, know of her sister's marriage to Norbert Franks. I hear it takes place to-morrow. Very good news."
