Seeing at once that they were after him, Tommy ran, ran, ran until in turning a corner he found himself wedged between two legs. He was of just sufficient size to fill the aperture, but after a momentary look he squeezed through, and they proved to be the gate into an enchanted land. The magic began at once. "Dagont, you sacket!" cried some wizard.
"Aunt Faith!" cried she, suddenly, as she came out upon the landing when she had peeped into the last corner, and found Miss Henderson on the point of making her descent "what sort of a thing do you think it would be for us to come here and live?" Aunt Faith sat down now as suddenly, in her turn, on the stairhead.
Martine herself lived at Sainte-Marthe, in a retired corner, so penuriously that she must be still saving even out of her small income. She was not known to have any heir.

As they approached the address the detective had given him Craven was conscious of no sensation of any kind. A deadly calm seemed to have taken possession of him.
Teddy, very detached with a special hockey stick, and Miss Corner wheeling the perambulator. Then came further arrivals. At the earliest opportunity Mr. Direck secured the attention of Miss Corner, and lost his interest in any one else. "I can't play this hockey," said Mr. Direck. "I feel strange about it. It isn't an American game. Now if it were baseball !"

What's this?" In a corner of the sofa was a tiny huddle, outlined vaguely as human, under a faded shawl.
